Spotify just rolled-out worldwide, synchronized song lyrics for every single one of its users, both free and premium subscribers. It’s made possible through a partnership with Musixmatch, which will provide lyrics for a “majority” of Spotify tracks.
What’s more, it’s not limited to which platform you’re listening on. It works on iOS, Android, desktop, TV, and consoles. Perfect for ending those debates over misheard song lyrics, or giving you the lines if you want to sing along to your favorite bops.
The feature should be available on a device near you anytime now and if you want to see how it works, follow along below.

This isn’t the first time that Spotify has teamed up with Musixmatch. A previous partnership ended in 2016, after five years of working together.
Spotify then had a short collaboration with Genius, which was limited to only a few songs, and worked slightly differently as it had more information on the song’s lyrics, like explanations of specific references used in the song.
