How to view lyrics on Spotify for Android

Spotify, one of the main music streaming services on the market, is gradually returning with an old function: to show the lyrics of the songs. In June 2016, the app lost the feature that was appreciated by users, but now begins to return with functionality. The "Behind the Lyrics" is the result of the company's partnership with the Genius site.

The novelty, besides showing the lyrics of the songs, also displays curiosities about the compositions, while the song is reproduced. So far, the "Behind the Lyrics" feature is limited only to premium Android phone users and works only on some albums and playlists. To test it, play the playlists "Today's Top Hits" and "Behind the Lyrics: Hip Hop", both created by Spotify itself. Learn, in the tutorial below, how to see the lyrics of the songs in the Android app.
