"Couldn't load the lyrics for this song" error

[#1]

As of version 8.8.20.544 and the version prior to that has caused the lyrics from my personal playlist in my device 'Samsung-SMJ250F' to disappear, at first I thought it was brcause the songs were old but way older songs still had lyrics
The playlist is a private playlist featuring all songs of 'DragonForce'
and after the update none of the songs had lyrics.

Hey folks,

Thanks for posting about this here in the Community.

Please note that the availability of the Lyrics feature and the lyrics themselves can vary over time, as well as between markets, and depending on the agreements we have in place with our rights holders. We add new content to Spotify every day, so if you can’t find something right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon.

We hope this helps!

Cheers,

it is happening on my all devices inculiding smart phones and windows.

i guess since early december it keeps happening.

some of the songs use to have lyrics even after the situation but some of them keep disappearing over time.

Essentially, for the last maybe year-or-so, the lyric tab on my Spotify (iPhone) has been coming up with “couldn’t load the lyrics for this song” for a large majority of music that I listen to. Some songs have lyrics and some don’t - and the weirdest part is, some songs that said “couldn’t load the lyrics” now have lyrics, and it goes on and off. I have really good internet connection and some lyrics still load, so I know it’s not a problem related to my connection. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
Thanks!

I can barely see the lyrics of any song. Please see if you can do anything. 

My phone is a Android.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I swear by each update there are more songs dissapearing and honestly getting kinda annoying. Like yesterday there were lyrics to sweet venom and today suddenly they can't load em.

This is a problem that has been occuring from 2023 and still hasn't been fixed.
Most spotify songs lyrics are no longer appearing for free and premium users. messages such as "Looks like we don't have the lyrics for this song",
"You caught us, we're still working on getting lyrics for this one" or "You'll have to guess the lyrics for this one" appear instead. Now all of the songs that have this issue, the lyrics for them are available on music musixmatch where spotify gets there lyrics from. But why are they not on appearing on dekstop website, dekstop app, or my android phone? idk?
No songs have came back since the first time that this problem occured. More songs are dissaperaing.

Se actualizo mi spotify pero ya no me aparece el "microfono" para ver las letras de las canciones :((

[#11]

the problem is not bcz of the song itself there is lyrics of it in spotify but simply dont showup to me with a message of ;hmm we dont know the ;yrics of this song ,

[#12]

Most of the songs don't have lyrics which is weird because recently released songs have lyrics but if the song is like few months or older the lyrics don't show up.

The problem started when the payment was updated

[LazySamm]

yes! This, this is also the problem I've been having basically 😭 please I want my lyrics back!

[tonyperin1]

My Question or Issue

I tried putting lyrics on Spotify on my PC (using the installed app) and they don't work. A message appears saying that they don't know the lyrics of that song. I tried different songs but the same result. I also used the online player but appears the same. I also tried using another Windows device but the lyrics don't work.

Can you help me?

Thank you!

[CrisFH]

Yeah I got this issue since last year and it's frrrrreaking annoying like where the heck are the gahdamn lyrics!? how the most popular songs lost their lyrics? they are just lyrics!

[Ryuu1]

I finally found a solution to this problem guys. U have to to download the
app Musixmatch. Then turn on floating lyrics. Now everytime you turn on
music, the lyrics will appear in pop-up mode.

For some time now every lyric of every song i listen to is not showing. I already tried everything: clearing cache, loging out and in, deleting the app. And still, the lyrics don’t show up

[Nirvair_Singh]

They say the use musixmatch, but the song that dont have lyrics on spotify are availible on musixmatch if you check. it is intriguing.

Hi! 

So I can never be able to see lyrics to multiple songs on all my devices. For example, I tried listening to a song called Butter by BTS. The lyrics would not show up for me... but my friend who has a premium plan gets all the lyrics. Must I get premium to see lyrics?

If anyone knows a solution please help me out. Spotify should work on this problem as it happens to lots of people.
