Lyrics won't show due to "About the Artist" info showing instead

Lyrics won't show due to "About the Artist" info showing instead

With the latest update, artist information takes the place of lyrics for some artists. Considering there already is a way to see artist information, but no other way to see lyrics, this chage doesn't seem like it was thought through.

Okay then i have a question, since this issue was first reported 6 months ago nothing has changed, for example most of eminems solo songs there are no lyrics anymore. When is it getting fixed?

Can we get the option to show lyrics instead of artist info on spotify for mobile? It's very annoying

Please fix it, it's really frustrating 

I can’t believe it’s been months if not a year and this issue continues to persist! I too am bumping this as it’s so annoying. 

So glad I've not subscribed to Spotify yet. What a joke! Bring back the lyrics ffs

Quit changing things just for the sake of changing things. There’s no good reason to remove the lyrics feature. Restore it already. 

Why has it been almost a year and Spotify still hasn’t fixed this it’s very annoying especially if you’re listening to a new song and can’t find the lyrics somewhere else either 😞 fix it! It can’t be that hard just put it under the “artist info” or something there’s no need to take it away.

How the heck has this issue not been resolved yet? What a joke. 

everything was fine on my phone but now the lyrics is also under all other content hidden. can you please set it back so that the lyrics is on the first place. it's really not complicated to change the order of these cards.

fix it! it's so annoying it makes me want to switch to apple music

This is the first time I’ve had this issue (NO LYRICS on iPhone) but it’s incredibly annoying and I’m going to cancel this service if it isn’t fixed. 

F**K Spotify! You need to fix this ASAP!

Please fix it! Extremely frustrating. Can’t fully enjoy Beyonce’s new album because of this underdeveloped feature.

apple music wouldn’t bombard artist info and live events and merch before even showing us the lyrics this is ridiculous just put them first then keep your marketing second. lyrics are more relevant than getting us to buy merch and shows, and the fact we have to receive such marketing when we pay for an ad free service is an entirely different problem. 

What kind of stupid and pointleas thing is it to say "well some people get the "great" new features while others wont"???. Lets cut through the bs and you can just admit that this is some stupid mess up that apparently you still can't or just plain wont be bothered to fix almost a year later. Yes it will be a pain for me to switch but honestly with such a stupid broken feature and stupid half baked made up responses for a "fix", I can see that I should take my music listening elsewhere...

AGREED bring it back!

Hi Yordan, can you bring back the lyrics on iphone users? It’s useless having premium account

It’s infuriating that this issue has not been amended. As you can see from the back and forth between a few users and myself, the issue is alive and well. It’s pathetic. I am writing back to you to keep this bumped. 

If you scroll down the song page, song lyrics are now a tile at the bottom. Took me a minute to figure this out. 

I have an iPhone and recently have not been able to see lyrics on my Spotify app…how temporary is this since your post on it was from nearly a year ago? So frustrating. I do not see this as an improvement. Please pass along to your team that we want the lyrics back.
