Hello, Is it posible to get the album name from a song if you pass any parameters like the youtube url of the song or the song name that belongs to that album?

I realized that if you filter by album like that search_results = yt.search(query="Song Name", filter="albums")
And in the mayority of the cases the album name is in song_result[0]['title'])

But I don't know if is there a better way to achieve this.

If you have the videoId you can use get_watch_playlist. The first result will contain all the details of the song.
