Hey @daawn

Seems like you're having an issue worth investigating.

As a first step, you should try deleting and reinstalling the app. Hopefully that'll fix the issue.

If not, please search for the issue in the respective help section and post there to be in the loop. If it doesn't exist you can create a new topic, so it can fixed.

Thanks for the cooperation @daawn.

To investigate further, could you let us know when this started happening and if the lyrics appear empty for other songs as well? Is it only this specific song?

From the screenshots you provided, it looks like you're using an external device to stream music on. If you're playing directly from the phone, does this change anything?

Lastly, let us know how the lyrics section looks like for you if you're logged in to your account on another device.

We'll be on the lookout 🙂

Thanks for replying and try to solve my problem. This was an issue with my device's dark mode, turning it on, for some reason, It removes part of the design and also the letters from the lyrics.

I already solved this by disabling dark mode only for Spotify.

However this hasnt happened before, because I've always had dark mode on. Maybe it's an update issue with my device or with Spotify. Thanks.

Thanks for the response @daawn.

It's great to hear that this is fixed for you and we appreciate you sharing the detail about enabling/disabling dark mode on your phone. We'll make sure to pass the info on to the relevant team.

We can't say exactly why this happened and upon checking we couldn't find other users that have reported the same behavior, so maybe it was a temporary issue. Just to be on the safe side, we recommend always keeping Spotify up-to-date.

The Community's here should you need help with anything else 🙂

I assume you have exactly the same as in my screenshots, maybe you can upload how it looks on your device. But like I said, just turning off dark mode should solve it, It depends on what device you have so you can deactivate dark mode only for Spotify.

Lyrics doesn't show up

This drove me nuts.
I turn on dark mode everywhere on all my devices, and the phone I use most to play songs never wanted to display the lyrics.
I'm so glad that turning dark mode off specifically for fixed my issue. been having this for over a year and I only now found this forum post!!!

From the little webdev I have seen so far, both dark modes probably clash with one another, probably turning the text into the same color as the background lyrics panel.
Thank you for this forum post and the provided solution!
