How To Add Lyrics To Apple Music

We've all had that common experience of song lyrics trapped in our heads, the same words over and over again, but we can't quite recall the song itself. Ending this agony is always a matter of when you can finally recall the song or hear it again. But there's an even quicker way to end this task, which is by searching for a song from the lyrics directly. 

As an artist, being searchable not only by name and song title is crucial to ensure that fans, old and new, can find you on streaming platforms and social media. The best way to do this is to upload your lyrics to Apple Music and other major streaming platforms, which enables fans to search for your music by the lyrics. 

In this blog, we'll discover how to upload your lyrics to Apple Music and the benefits of having your lyrics accessible online.

Apple Music Lyrics 

In Apple Music, lyrics are an immersive experience. In addition to offering synchronized lyrics with automatic scrolling, Apple Music offers Sing Mode, which allows users to have a karaoke experience all in one platform. 

If a user knows a song only by a short snippet of lyrics, they can easily search for the lyrics to find the song- an on-demand dictionary of all songs with lyrics. 

Benefits of Adding Lyrics to Apple Music

Needless to say, the lyric advancements on the platform have created numerous opportunities for artists to promote their lyrics and for fans to enrich their listening experience. In the next section, we'll list the key benefits of uploading your lyrics to Apple Music.

Higher Discoverability through Lyric Search

More and more frequently, platforms, social media or otherwise, are becoming their own search engines. Having your lyrics on Apple Music ensures that if a user knows only a short part of your song, they are able to find it easily and become a fan of yours even faster. 

Sharable Lyric Content

Sometimes, we feel lyrics so intensely they just need to be shared; with lyrics integrated into Apple Music, users can share snippets to social media platforms - amplifying their voice and their reach.  

Accessible and Multi-functional Lyrics

On Apple Music, users can customize their experience, adjusting the sound and size of lyrics to accommodate users who are visually impaired or hard of hearing. Moreover, with Apple Sing Mode, users can experience lyrics in the best way possible by singing their hearts out in karaoke mode. 

Enriched Fan Experience

All of this is to say that Apple Music Lyrics enriches the user experience. Fans can customize the lyric experience from their font size to their social media. Ensuring that your fans make the most of your music. 

Increased Streams

Songs with synchronized lyrics encourage more engagement, keeping fans on the song for longer and creating higher streams. Additionally, adding lyrics encourages song saves and adding them to playlists, extending the song's reach and improving its long-term potential to be shared through the platform's algorithm.
