Get More From Lyrics on Spotify With These 3 Upgrades

Lyrics are one of Spotify’s most popular features, giving fans a richer way to experience the music and artists they love. They’re viewed hundreds of millions of times each day, as listeners return again and again to follow the words in real time. Today, we’re excited to share three upgrades that make it easier to understand and stay close to the lyrics of your favorite songs.

Read the lyrics in your language

Since launching in 2022, lyric translations have continued to expand to meet listener demand. After reaching more than 25 markets last year, we’re now making translations available worldwide, so more fans can unlock the meaning of songs across different languages. 

For tracks with translations available, tap the translate icon on the lyrics card to view the translation underneath the original lyrics. Translations will appear based on your device’s language, and you can easily switch back to the original lyrics at any time.

Available around the world for Free and Premium users.

Follow along from anywhere

Now, when you download your favorite tracks for offline listening, the lyrics will automatically be saved too. So whether you’re underground on your commute or flying at 30,000 feet, the words stay within reach, no service required.

Offline lyrics are rolling out around the world for Premium users.

See lyrics front and center

With lyric previews, the words now appear directly beneath the album artwork or short Canvas clip as a song plays. Early testing suggests this new layout makes it easier to engage with lyrics and can help listeners return to songs they discovered. You can still share your favorite lines directly to social platforms from the Now Playing view.

Lyric previews are rolling out globally for Free and Premium users on mobile (iOS and Android) and tablet. You can turn previews off at any time by tapping the three-dot menu and selecting “Lyrics Off.”

We believe that getting closer to the words helps you get closer to your favorite artists and their music. These updates are designed to make that connection easier and more seamless than ever.
