All lyrics are provided by Musixmatch, a music data company. The company claims to have ** more than eight million lyrics in its catalog ** (the world’s largest live lyrics catalog), so it should be very strange to find a song on Spotify that has no lyrics. This feature was recently launched, specifically on November 18, 2021, so you may need to update your app or wait a bit if it is not yet available on your device.
