Spotify has rolled out three new updates to its lyrics feature, aimed at making it easier for users to read, understand, and follow song lyrics. Lyrics remain one of the most popular features on the platform, generating hundreds of millions of views every day. The latest enhancements focus on lyric translations, offline access, and improved on-screen visibility. Here’s more on that.

Lyric Translations Expanded Globally

Spotify is now expanding lyric translations to users worldwide. Earlier limited to select markets, this feature allows listeners to view song lyrics in a different language from the original. For tracks that support translations, users can tap the translate icon on the lyrics card to display the translated text below the original lyrics.

The translated language is shown based on the device’s language settings, and users can switch back to the original lyrics at any time.

Offline Lyrics Support

Spotify has also added offline lyrics support for downloaded songs. With this update, lyrics are automatically available even without an internet connection.

This makes it easier for users to follow along while travelling, commuting, or in situations such as flights where online access may be unavailable.

Lyric Previews on Now Playing Screen

Another addition is lyric previews, which display lines of lyrics directly beneath the album artwork or Canvas clip while a track is playing. This layout is designed to make lyrics more visible and simpler to follow in real time. Users can share specific lyric lines to social media platforms from the Now Playing screen.

Those who prefer a cleaner interface can disable lyric previews by opening the three-dot menu and selecting “Lyrics Off.”

Availability Details

Lyric translations are available globally for both Free and Premium users. Offline lyrics are rolling out worldwide but are limited to Premium subscribers.

Lyric previews are being released globally for Free and Premium users on mobile devices, including iOS and Android smartphones, as well as tablets.
