This is normal. Musixmatch has disbanded from the Spotify desktop app, so it doesn't have lyrics to songs anymore. It appears that Spotify may be rolling out their own lyrics system.

Same here! I love to look at lyrics and MOST of the songs I have had lyrics on them before and now they have spoof away! 😞 I really hope they don't remove this feature from Spotify.

@MattSuda:

But it does not work on macOS Monterey (12.2.1) with Spotify für macOS (Intel) 1.1.80.699.gc3dac750

 

So not all devices 😞

Hey @Michi_F 

 

You should be able to see lyrics.

 

Try logging out of the desktop app, and logging back in.

 

If that doesn't work, you will need to contact support. I've seen that some users got it working after doing so.
