There are two types of people in the world: one who listens to music for the beats & instruments and others who do it for the lyrics & melody. I belong to the latter, so, knowing and understanding the lyrics of a song means a lot to me.
In today’s times, sharing songs on social media is quite a trend. This triggers the creators to upload the lyrics of their songs. As an artist, you should do the same as soon as you release. But if how is your question, you’re in the right place.
Prerequisites
You need to check on a few things before you can add lyrics on Spotify.

- Link your Spotify account to Musixmatch through the settings page. This gives Musixmatch access to fetch your published tracks.
- Properly write the lyrics of your song. Avoid any typographical errors.
Once you have the entire checklist, proceed.
