tuned in

'up-to-date' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes define each other.

'daughter at home on song' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'song' becomes 'tune' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'in'='din'
'din' after 'tune' is 'TUNED IN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tuned in that I've seen before include "Adjusted radio set" , "Prepared to hear" .)
