Delivering lyrics to DSPs
If you want your lyrics to appear on major music and social platforms, the submission always runs through Musixmatch, which is the official lyrics partner for a wide range of services.
Musixmatch delivers lyrics to:
Music Streaming Platforms:
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal
Social Media Platforms:
Other Services:
Google Search, Shazam, Facebook, Vevo, Last.fm, JioSaavn
A very important detail:
Your release must already be online and visible on the platform before you can submit any lyrics.
Lyrics can only be added once the track has been processed and published by the platform.
Why Musixmatch?
Many major streaming and social platforms pull their lyric data exclusively from Musixmatch.
Because of this integration, lyric delivery always happens through Musixmatch, even if the release itself was delivered through dig dis!.
Musixmatch Pro (Optional)
Musixmatch also offers a paid service called Musixmatch Pro, aimed at artists and teams who need more control over their lyric delivery.
The most important advantage is:
With Musixmatch Pro, you can submit lyrics before the official release date, so they go live on the platforms on day one.
Other Pro features include faster approvals and additional tools for managing catalogues, but for most artists the key benefit is the early submission option.
