It’s easy and feels similar to Spotify’s lyrics-sharing feature too albeit, you can customize YouTube’s own, unlike other Android lyric apps.

Why does YouTube Music Lyrics Sharing Matter?

YouTube Music lyrics sharing isn’t just another feature, it’s a neat trick for YouTube Premium and Music to improve relevance. So, here’s why it’s a big deal:

  • It helps YouTube Music compete with Spotify and Apple Music. They both have had this feature for some time, so this helps YouTube Music stay in the game. 
  • It helps to express your social vibe – express your mood or feelings through the lyrics to connect with friends. 
  • Helps with song discovery since shared lyrics links can bring friends directly to the track on YouTube Music.
  • The customization is perfect for young users who like to post flashy cards on social media.

YouTube Music is growing fast and this update shows they are serious about keeping up with competitors. 

What Else Do We Know About This Feature Rollout?

The YouTube Music lyrics sharing feature is just for Android right now, but iOS and desktop versions might get it soon. Also, note that it’s a gradual rollout, so it’s not available to all Android users yet. Those who have it use YouTube Music version 8.15.51 or newer on Android.

Also, YouTube Music recently added better volume controls to keep songs at the same loudness. So, no more jarring switches unlike before.

Hence, if you’re thinking about ditching Spotify, check out this quick process to move your Spotify playlists to YouTube Music.
