How to View Real-Time Lyrics in Spotify

"I'm a frequent Spotify user. How can I see the lyrics for the song? I don't want to google for the lyrics anymore. That's stupid."

Spotify has finally rolled out real-time song lyrics. You can now see the lyrics on Spotify and sing along with your favorite tracks. Actually, viewing lyrics in Spotify is one of the most demanding features and it was available years earlier. If you are a long-time Spotify user, you may know that Spotify partnered with Musixmatch to offer lyrics back in 2015 but the relationship ended very soon in 2016. In 2019, they cooperated again to restore the live lyrics, yet this excellent feature was restricted to select countries. Thankfully, now, in late 2021, the lyrics feature is finally available globally.

Musixmatch claims to have more than 8 million lyrics in its catalog, thus you can find most Spotify songs with lyrics. If you find some lyrics are not available on some songs, you may try to find them in the future as new lyrics are added every day. Lyrics are accessible to all Spotify users – both Spotify Free and Premium subscribers, and almost all platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, game consoles, and Smart TVs. Just make sure you updated to the latest version of the Spotify app.
