Why do I have to get premium to view lyrics for a song?

[EmberrC]

Why would this feature be added? All it does is drive people away from the app, especially seen as though premium is hard to afford

Hey @EmberrC, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

You can view lyrics on Spotify free on the mobile app, but there is a monthly limit. On desktop and the Web Player, you will need Premium to view full lyrics. There is more information about viewing lyrics here.

I will also pass your feedback on to the right folks so thank you for sharing how you feel about this feature. 

Have a great day!
