Lyrical Is Live on the App Store โ Real-Time Synced Lyrics for Every Song
Lyrical is officially live on the App Store. Real-time synced lyrics for Apple Music and Spotify, with romanization, CarPlay, Dynamic Island, and Lock Screen support.
Today, we are launching something we built because we needed it ourselves.
Lyrical is now live on the App Store. It is a real-time synced lyrics app for Apple Music and Spotify. It shows you the words as they are sung, line by line, word by word, perfectly in time with the music. It works in your car through CarPlay. It works on your Lock Screen without unlocking your phone. It lives in your Dynamic Island, so you can glance at lyrics while doing other things. It turns your iPhone into a karaoke machine.
We built this because we were tired of lyrics apps that just dump text on a screen. You know the ones. Static blocks of words that may or may not match what you are hearing. No timing. No flow. No feeling.
Music is not static. Lyrics are not static. They move. They breathe. They hit at specific moments. Lyrical respects that.
Real-time synced lyrics, right now
Lyrical shows every word as it plays, perfectly timed to the music. Download free and sing along today.
What Lyrical Does Differently
Most lyrics apps treat songs like documents. They show you the words. You figure out the timing yourself.
Lyrical treats songs like experiences. The active line is highlighted and centered. The surrounding lyrics softly fade into the background. As the song progresses, the view scrolls smoothly, keeping you in the moment. You are not reading lyrics. You are singing along.
The difference is hard to describe until you feel it. Put on a song you love. Open Lyrical. Watch the words light up exactly when they are sung. That is the moment you understand.
Built for How You Actually Listen
Apple Music and Spotify: Lyrical works alongside both. Connect your account and your entire library becomes lyric-ready. No switching apps. No importing playlists. It just works.
Romanization: This matters for K-pop fans, J-pop fans, anyone who loves music in languages they do not read. Lyrical shows Korean lyrics in Hangul and romanized side by side. You can sing along to "Hype Boy" or "Idol" without knowing a single Korean character. The same applies to Japanese, Chinese, and other languages.
Song recognition: Hear a song you do not know? Lyrical has a Shazam-style mode. Tap, identify, jump straight to lyrics. No more wondering what that track was or searching manually.
Full-screen karaoke mode: Turn your phone sideways. The lyrics expand. The background dims. You are not looking at an app anymore. You are looking at a karaoke screen. This is how you learn a song. This is how you sing in the car with friends.
Dynamic highlighting: The current line is crisp and clear. Past lines fade. Future lines wait their turn. Your eye knows exactly where to go. The cognitive load drops to zero. You just sing.
Every Screen, Every Situation
Lock Screen: Lyrical works from your Lock Screen. You do not need to unlock your phone, find the app, navigate to the song. The lyrics are just there, updating in real time, controlled from your Lock Screen widgets.
Dynamic Island: On iPhone 14 Pro and newer, Lyrical lives in your Dynamic Island. A compact view of the current lyrics, always visible, always updating. Glance down while texting, browsing, doing anything. The words are there.
Home Screen widgets: Add Lyrical widgets to your Home Screen. See current lyrics, control playback, jump back into the app, all without opening anything.
CarPlay: This is the feature that started it all. We wanted to sing along in the car without looking at our phones. Lyrical brings synced lyrics to your CarPlay display. The words appear on your dashboard screen, perfectly timed, perfectly safe. CarPlay karaoke is real.
Powered by Community
Lyrical uses LRCLIB, a community-driven lyrics database with millions of songs. The timing data comes from fans who care enough to mark exactly when each word hits. That means the lyrics are accurate, the timing is tight, and the catalog keeps growing.
When you use Lyrical, you are benefiting from thousands of contributors who love music as much as you do.
Sing your favorite songs with perfect timing, every word visible as it plays. Lyrical makes every drive, every walk, every moment a karaoke session.
Who Lyrical Is For
K-pop fans: You want to sing along to Korean lyrics but you do not read Hangul. Lyrical's romanization means you can sing "Ditto" or "Super Shy" phonetically, following along in real time. You are not just listening anymore. You are participating.
J-pop fans: Same story. Japanese lyrics with romanization. Sing along to Yoasobi, Ado, Official Hige Dandism, without needing to read kanji.
Anyone who sings in the car: You do not need to be a K-pop fan. You just need to love singing along. Lyrical turns every drive into a concert. Every commute becomes a performance.
Language learners: Seeing lyrics in two languages simultaneously, timed to audio, is a powerful learning tool. You hear the pronunciation, see the original, see the transliteration, all at once.
People who want more from music: You do not just want background noise. You want to feel the words. Lyrical gives you that connection.

The app is free to download. You can use core features without paying. If you want the full experience, unlimited lyrics, all the premium features, subscriptions are $9.99 monthly or $29.99 yearly. That is less than the cost of one concert ticket for a year of karaoke everywhere you go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lyrical work with Spotify?
Yes. Lyrical works with both Apple Music and Spotify. Connect your account in the app settings and your entire library becomes available with synced lyrics.
Do I need to know Korean to use Lyrical for K-pop?
No. Lyrical shows Korean lyrics with romanization, so you can sing along phonetically even if you do not read Hangul. The same applies to Japanese, Chinese, and other languages.
What is romanization?
Romanization is the conversion of non-Latin writing systems into Latin letters. For example, the Korean word "์ฌ๋" (love) becomes "sarang" in romanization. Lyrical displays both the original script and romanized version side by side.
Does Lyrical work offline?
Lyrical requires an internet connection to fetch lyrics from the LRCLIB database. Once lyrics are loaded for a song, they may be cached for offline use, but initial loading requires connectivity.
