Hi, Ibikunle. All it's asking for here is for you to just add an empty object that will hold the song. So basically you have an array with one empty object, like so:

[
  {
  }
]

Your top line will pass all 4 tasks of the challenge.. The extra array on the second line is creating a syntax error.

However, the array should be built up in stages; and if you're still on the second task you only need a structure like what seth has suggested.
