"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,

I find it very suspicious that every single Michael Jackson song says “couldn’t load the lyrics for this song” but any other artist the lyrics are clearly able to.

My Question or Issue

I experienced a problem regarding not being able to see the song lyrics, and I tried to resolve this issue with live support. However, the 'Consultant' friend began responding to me by copying and pasting messages as if they were a 'Bot,' without bothering to read the messages I wrote. This made me feel as if I were being told, 'Deal with it.'
From what I remember, the name of the Consultant friend was Nina A.

I no longer care about the issue I had with the song lyrics because, considering the situation, it seems like there's no one who can help me resolve it.

My Question or Issue

I used to have lyrics for all songs.For example popular Adel song Skyfall now there is no lyrics and there is only message that you should guess lyrics.This happened 1 month ago and all my friends have problem like that.What is happening?

[vaxerri]

yo mods can you add lyrics for 505 by arctic monkeys

[Tali48]

I agree. I used to always have lyrics until like 2 weeks ago and I just thought it was some songs but all of the songs that used to have lyrics, don’t anymore. This article isn’t saying anything that can help and it is really annoying.😐

[Jayden54]

real me to man.

[dimitris69xaxa]

Are they a premium feature now? Why do some songs still have them, and why did it not happen to my other Free Plan friends? 

[Krishna1015]

Really it's very annoying

[suyognegi]

there are many popular songs that use to have lyrics earlier but no longer available so why and please bring them back

[White_devil]

Hi.

About that... i actually check musixmatch and the lyrics for the songs that have these errors are in the app but just doesnt work on spotify itself. I didnt have this issue until 2 or 3 months ago. Lyrics just started getting this error one by one. Every artist i look up, 6 out of 10 songs dont have lyrics and its bugging me. One of the songs i check on musixmatch was agora hills by doja cat. It was there in the app but didnt show on spotify.

I've had this same problem for a good while, at first I thought it was my device but I have the same problem on the desktop app, and it's really annoying that some songs have lyrics and some don't, I remember all of these songs had lyrics before but now they're gone?? I usually check musicxmatch to make sure the lyrics are there but they doesn't show on the spotify app and this really bothers me, and I know that this happened to A LOT of songs but I can remember some albums with this problem: reputation by taylor swift, midnights by taylor swift, wiped out! by the neighbourhood, hard to imagine ever changing by the neighbourhood, pure heroine by lorde, and im aware that I missed so much more but I can't think of anything more, I don't know if the simple feature of seeing lyrics is a premium feature now? If not I really hope this problem gets fixed soon (sorry for bad english, english is not my first language)

DAS WHAT IM SAYING LMAOO FRANK, YE, KENDRICK, TYLER MOST SONGS GOT NO LYRICS BRO IM TELLING U THEY BE RACIST AS HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[brainstew0]

Yeah I've been wondering for the last several months why lyrics aren't available for most songs I listen to anymore. I was starting to chalk it up to being a free listener and not a subscriber. Is this not the case then and just an issue with the Spotify and musixmatch? 

[Jr08]

Is there any reason to most tyler the creator songs not having lyrics 

[joodyDpeck4]

This is a rather lame explanation, especially because the lyrics to all my songs used to be available and now, NONE of them are !! For me, this change occurred after an iOS update was installed. Is that true for anyone else? It’s terribly annoying and it makes me want to drop Spotify and use a different music service. They’d better fix this problem or I think they’ll lose a LOT of customers.

My Question or Issue

I have seen an old post about lyrics not loading before and I was said that this problem was resolved yet this is still an issue. I have noticed that on other versions this is not a problem, it seems that only mobile has this issue. Is there something I am supposed to be doing?

[#22]

my friends can see the lyrics but i can.I can only see them in very little songs
