Not sure what's wrong with this.

I imagine I'm missing a small syntax issue, but i cannot figure out why it won't accept this answer

script.js 
const composer = {
  name: 'Edward Ellington',
  nickname: 'Duke',
  genres: ['jazz', 'swing'],
  instrument: 'piano'
};

for ( let prop in composer ) {
  console.log( '${prop}: ${composer[prop]}' );
}

Try back-ticks in the console.log, it looks like you have apostrophes there.

David Park is correct. Your console.log statement should have backticks rather than single quotes. That's what it's telling you when you check work and it says

Bummer: Insert the name of the property variable in `console.log()`, like this: `console.log(`${propName}`);`

The error message is rather confusing because they use backticks when they should be using single quotes around console.log()
