Use this interactive demo to learn how to view song lyrics while streaming on YouTube Music.

Quick summary

YouTube Music displays lyrics for songs directly inside the player, accessible via a dedicated Lyrics tab next to the Up Next and Related panels. Lyrics are provided automatically by YouTube Music and availability varies by song and region.


Steps

  1. Open and sign in to YouTube Music at music.youtube.com or via the app.
  2. Use the search bar to find an artist or song.
  3. Click the song title or thumbnail in the player bar to expand the full player view.
  4. Click the LYRICS tab next to the player screen — it sits alongside the UP NEXT and RELATED tabs.
  5. Read the lyrics displayed automatically by YouTube Music; note that availability may vary by song or region and lyrics cannot be added or edited manually.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube Music's built-in lyrics feature lets listeners follow along with any song without leaving the app or switching to a third-party lyrics site. Lyrics are surfaced automatically inside the full player view, making it easy to sing along, study song structure, or understand new music. This native integration keeps the listening experience seamless and reduces friction for users who regularly search for song lyrics online. It highlights YouTube Music as a strong all-in-one streaming platform for music discovery and engagement.
