Musixmatch: Lyrics App Overview

Musixmatch shows real-time synced lyrics for whatever you're playing, on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and most other players, plus its own standalone music player and lyrics search. It's one of the largest lyrics databases available, covering songs across most languages and genres.

What It's Good For

Synced lyrics that scroll in time with the song, translations for songs in other languages, and a karaoke mode for singing along. It's also useful for simply catching lyrics you misheard, searching by a half-remembered line is often faster than typing a full song title into a search engine.

How Lyric Syncing Works

When connected to a supported music app, Musixmatch detects what's currently playing and pulls up matching lyrics timed to the track. This works through official integrations with services like Spotify, rather than reading anything from the other app directly, so it only works with players Musixmatch has explicitly added support for.

A Note on 'Full Version Without Ads' Downloads

You'll see sites offering a modified, ad-free APK. We don't recommend installing apps from outside the Play Store, they aren't reviewed by Google Play Protect and are a common source of malware. If ads bother you, Musixmatch also offers a legitimate premium subscription within the official app that removes ads and adds offline lyrics.

Where to Get It

Musixmatch is available officially on the Google Play Store.
