- Spotify added a new feature this week that lets users search for lyrics within the iOS and Android app.
- If you open the Spotify app, just head to the Search tab and type in however many words you can remember from a song, and they will appear in the search results.
- Apple Music introduced this feature on iOS 12 over two years ago, but Spotify finally caught up.
None of the apps on the appstore for lyrics work on spotify, lyricalizer says it supports spotify but it always shows 'No lyrics found'. Open the Music app and play the song you want to get lyrics for. Make the music player full screen by tapping on the song display box at the bottom of the screen. (1) Swipe up anywhere on the screen to show the list of music that is Up Next. This is also where the Shuffle and Repeat icons are now located.
- But now if you do so within Spotify’s iOS, Android, or desktop apps, you’re search results will deliver the exact song those lyrics come from. (In this case, Eve 6's ‘90s jam, “Inside Out.
- The Musixmatch desktop app brings you synchronised lyrics to any song that's currently playing in your Spotify, iTunes or Windows Media Player making it easy to start singing along to your favourite tunes.
There are few things in life more frustrating than having the lyrics to a song stuck in your head and being completely incapable of remembering the name of that song. Thankfully, the internet has mostly solved that problem with pages dedicated to transcribing the lyrics of every song ever written, but do you really want to have to jump between your browser and your music streaming app of choice just to look up lyrics?
Apple solved this problem back in 2018 when iOS 12 added lyric search to the Music app, but this week, the biggest music streaming service in the world finally matched the iPhone maker with a similar feature of its own. As spotted by 9to5Mac, Spotify rolled out a new lyric search feature on the iOS and Android versions of its app on Monday. Spotify designer Lin Wang (who goes by Lina) shared the news on Twitter, in absence of a press release.

If you open up the Spotify app on your iPhone or Android, you can test the feature by simply heading to the Search tab and typing the lyrics you want to find into the search bar at the top of the screen. Songs that have lyrics matching your search phrase will appear in the search results with a “Lyrics match” tag.

As a Spotify subscriber, I personally never noticed that this feature wasn’t available on the app, as I’ve become so accustomed to making a beeline for my browser as soon as a lyric pops into my head. But having it available directly within the app eliminates one more step, and I’m sure I’ll be taking advantage of this feature.
Spotify may still be the household name in music streaming despite the many controversies and rivalry from Apple Music, but that doesn’t always mean it has all the best features in town. It may have been even too busy fending off those attacks that it may have been slow to roll out updates. Now it’s announcing a rather small but potentially important feature for its users who will now be able to search for songs on Android and iOS by simply typing in parts of the lyrics.

The feature works simply enough. Just key in a phrase in the mobile app and Spotify will show songs that contain that, at least the songs that’s in its massive collection. It’s admittedly a handy feature when you’re already in the Spotify app anyway.

The problem with this feature is that it is quite late to the party. Apple Music already had such a feature that did exactly that in 2018, three years after the service launched.
There’s also the fact that there may be quickest ways to discover songs based on their lyrics than searching on Spotify. Shazam, which Apple now owns, and Google Assistant can do that for you if the song is playing and Google is most likely people’s first resort when searching for things on the Web. Still, for Spotify users who practically live in the mobile app, it’s a nice touch nonetheless.
This tiny and almost silent update follows a steady stream of new features revolving around Spotify playlists and podcasts. The most high-profile news Spotify may have been involved lately, however, is its participation in the new Coalition for App Fairness formed by Epic Games and other apps and services that have a bone to pick with Apple, which, of course, includes Spotify.
