YouTube Music is taking a cue from Spotify and Apple Music by incorporating this useful feature.

Essential Information

• YouTube Music is launching a new feature for sharing lyrics today, following initial testing in April 2025.
• This feature is accessible on the latest version of the YouTube Music app for both iOS and Android.
• A shareable card is created with selected lyrics and song details, available for all YouTube Music users, both free and paid.

YouTube Music is introducing a convenient way to share what you’re listening to: lyric cards. The music streaming platform started testing this feature in April 2025, and it is now rolling out to users as of today, June 17 (via 9to5Google). This feature requires version 8.24 of the YouTube Music app for iOS and Android.

With lyric sharing, users can generate a shareable card featuring a few lines of lyrics from the song currently playing. When the feature is available, a new Share button appears in the Lyrics tab of the Now Playing interface. After tapping it, you can choose which lines of lyrics to include in the shareable card.

You can select the background color for your lyric card, and proceeding will finalize the graphic. It displays the song title, artist, album cover, selected lyrics, and a subtle YouTube Music logo. Essentially, this creates an image that can be saved to your device’s camera roll or shared across different applications.

Since the feature simply shares an image of your lyric card, you will need to manually add audio when sharing lyrics on your social platforms. For instance, to include YouTube Music lyrics in your Instagram story, you’ll still need to select a track for the story to ensure that the music plays. However, creating and sharing a YouTube Music lyric card takes just a few taps.
