Introducing Lyrical: Dynamic Synced Lyrics for Apple Music
Today we're launching Lyrical — a premium dynamic lyrics app for iPhone that transforms Apple Music playback into a living, visual experience.
Why we built Lyrical
Music is one of the most emotional experiences humans have. Yet the way we consume it on our phones has barely changed in a decade. You press play, you look at an album cover, maybe you glance at lyrics if the default player shows them.
We thought: what if lyrics felt alive? What if the app understood the song, the moment, the emotion — and reflected that back at you?
That's Lyrical.
What Lyrical does
Lyrical connects to Apple Music and displays your current track's lyrics in perfect sync — word by word, in a beautiful full-screen interface. The design adapts to the song's energy. Backgrounds glow. Lyrics transition smoothly. Every moment feels considered.
The surfaces
We didn't just build a lyrics screen. We built lyrics for the surfaces you actually use:
Dynamic Island shows your current lyric line in the most native iOS way possible. Lock Screen Live Activities surface the lyric without unlocking your phone. CarPlay puts it on your car display, big and clear. Widgets let you put lyrics on your Home Screen. The Mini Lyrics Bar keeps a live line visible anywhere in the app.
Romanized lyrics
For K-pop fans, J-pop listeners, and anyone who loves international music, Lyrical shows romanized transliterations beneath the original script. Hangul, Hiragana, Thai script — all rendered phonetically so you can sing along no matter where the music is from.
What's next
We're just getting started. Lyrical 1.0 is the foundation. Coming soon: more language support, deeper Apple Music integration, improved word-level timing, and features we can't quite announce yet.
Download Lyrical on the App Store and make every song more alive.
