Now, Spotify has started rolling out the full song lyrics options for users. You can now get the full lyrics of the doing you are listening, from within the app.

Get Full Song Lyrics on Spotify in Android and iPhone
Many streaming platforms including Apple Music already have the song lyrics option. This lets the users get the complete lyrics of the song without leaving the app. Apple Music even highlights the line which is playing, helps you follow along with the song easily.
When it came to the Spotify, the streaming platform had been using the “Knowledge cards” from Genius for selected songs. It showed a few lines from song lyrics, and mostly the facts and knowledge about the song playing. Even though it was supposed to attract more users, it did the exact opposite.
Finally, considering the users’ demand, Spotify has added the full song lyrics for all the users. Here is how you can get the full song lyrics on Spotify.
- Update the Spotify app on your iPhone or Android.
- Open the Spotify app and play a song.
- Tap the mini-player at the bottom to enter a full-screen player.
- You will see the “Lyrics” card at the bottom of the screen if the song currently playing has full lyrics available.
- Swipe up the card.
- You can find the currently playing line highlighted on the screen.
- Tap on the lyrics card to expand and see full song lyrics on Spotify.
Unfortunately, unlike Apple Music, you cannot jump to a certain line from the lyrics on Spotify.
