We usually share a lot on social media: our morning coffee, what we’re up to, something that resonates with us, and much more. In an attempt to share more about ourselves with our followers, we tend to post inspirational quotes.
You have probably come across posts with song lyrics on social media. If you want to learn how to do the same, continue reading. This article will show you how to share Spotify song lyrics on social media platforms.
Spotify’s Live Lyrics feature works similarly to Apple Music’s Live Lyrics feature. Both allow you to sing a song and share specific lyrics. The best part is that sharing Spotify song lyrics on social media only takes a few minutes. Here’s how to get started:
- Open the Spotify app on your phone.
- Find and play the song whose lyrics you want to share.
- Tap the music player near the bottom to open it.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap the button Lyrics section.
- Now touch the Share button in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Touch the line or lines you want to share, then touch the Share button.
- Spotify will now show you a preview of your post. Touch the social media platform you want at the bottom of the screen.
Now let’s see how to share Spotify lyrics on specific social media platforms: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, to be exact.
How to Share Spotify Song Lyrics on Instagram
To share lyrics from Spotify to Instagram, touch the Instagram icon, then touch Your history either Intimate friends at the bottom of the screen.
Please note that you cannot share Spotify lyrics as an Instagram post unless you take a screenshot and upload it to your profile. However, you can still post a story with your close friends on Instagram and share your favorite lyrics.
How to Share Spotify Song Lyrics on Facebook
Moving to Facebook: To share Spotify lyrics to your profile, tap the Facebook icon. If prompted to confirm that you want to allow Spotify to open Facebook, tap Open. You will now see a preview of the lyrics card. Go ahead and edit the post if you want. When you’re done, tap share in story in the lower right corner.
As with Instagram, you cannot share Spotify song lyrics as a story and not as a Facebook post.
How to Share Spotify Song Lyrics on Twitter
Finally, to share lyrics from Spotify, touch the twitter icon. You’ll see a preview of your Tweet with the lyrics card on your screen. Add supporting text, then tap cheep in the upper right corner.
If you’ve steered away from Twitter due to its toxicity, there are still ways to make your Twitter timeline less toxic and have a better experience.
You can only share consecutive lines of a song; you cannot share lines from different points in a song at the same time. For example, you can share lines five through ten, but you cannot share lines five, seven, and ten at the same time. And you can only submit full lines, not parts of a line or single words.
This feature works on both the free and premium versions of Spotify. Have you ever wondered how the two are different? Read our guide to learn the differences between Spotify Free and Spotify Premium.
Sharing lyrics is a great feature of Spotify that can help you connect with your followers on social media without sharing too much. Doing this shows your followers what you’re currently listening to and gives them an idea of the type of music you like.
