Spotify Finally Finds Way To Show Song Lyrics

For the longest time, if you've ever wanted to find out the lyrics to a song on Spotify, you needed to head over to Google to track down the words on Genius or some other platform, Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) reported.

Now, the world's biggest audio streaming platform has finally added real-time lyrics to its massive database of songs for users on desktop, mobile, and other devices, after Apple Music introduced a similar feature.

"Lyrics are one of the most requested features from listeners across the globe," Spotify said on Thursday, announcing real-time lyrics in collaboration with music data company Musixmatch.

"So after iterating and testing, we've created an experience that’s simple and interactive — and even shareable." If your app or desktop program is up-to-date, you should now be able to see an option to read along with the lyrics when a song is playing.

On your phone, play a song and then tap into the "Now Playing" view (the place where you would go to skip forwards in a track), and at the very bottom you should see a "lyrics" card, which you can drag up to see more.

On the desktop app, go to the "Now Playing" bar and click on the microphone icon while a song is playing. The lyrics will then scroll along in real-time as the song is playing.
