At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve our user experience. Some of those tests end up paving the way for our broader user experience and others serve only as an important learning. We don\u2019t have any further news to share at this time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To be clear, this isn\u2019t the same as the \u201cBehind the Lyrics\u201d feature that Spotify currently has. That feature displays selected snippets with some context provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Genius<\/a>, rather than complete lyrics you can sing along to. Engadget suggests that if Spotify keeps the full-fledged lyrics, the Genius option may be removed.<\/p>\n<p>The US implementation, as with the version in <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/06\/29\/in-a-significant-expansion-spotify-to-launch-real-time-lyrics-in-26-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">26 other countries<\/a>, continues to use lyrics service <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/06\/29\/in-a-significant-expansion-spotify-to-launch-real-time-lyrics-in-26-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Musixmatch<\/a>. There\u2019s still no guarantee the feature will actually roll out more widely stateside \u2014 it\u2019s a test, after all \u2014 but for those of us who can never remember lyrics, let\u2019s hope it sticks around.<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"post-sourceLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/spotify-live-lyrics-united-states-test-ios-android-140045159.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span class=\"source\">on Engadget<\/span> <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/apps\/2021\/02\/09\/spotify-is-finally-testing-live-lyrics-in-the-us\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify has been able to show live lyrics during music playback for ages\u2026 unless you live in the US (and a few other unlucky regions).
