Words matter, and as musicians, lyrics matter. Seeing synchronized lyrics while listening to music is critical to enriching the music experience. Lyrics are constantly playing in our heads, so being able to see them and search for them brings your audience closer to your music.
We see lyrics everywhere, in social media, everyday conversation, and in media, and making lyrics accessible to fans is crucial to expanding your fan base and enriching your audience's experience with your music.
In this blog, we'll explore how lyrics are integrated into Spotify and how you can easily add lyrics to Spotify.
Spotify Lyrics are a critical feature of the platform; for free users, users can access a limited number of lyrics per month, and Premium users can view and access lyrics without limitations. Lyrics on Spotify are exclusively provided by Musixmatch.
Spotify, like all digital platforms, has an algorithm. It uses this algorithm to promote music to users, personalizing artists, and song suggestions. Maximizing your music through lyric optimization is one way to improve your music performance on the platform.
At Musixmatch, we believe that words matter. The music experience is enriched when new and old fans can see, hear, and feel your lyrics. But beyond this, having accessible lyrics allows you, as an artist, to promote your music and grow your audience.
The real question is, why should I put my lyrics on Spotify? Let's explore the benefits of having your lyrics on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
