How to view song lyrics in Apple Music on iOS, Mac and Apple TV

By Sandy Writtenhouse 0 comments Last updated February 22, 2019

How many times have you sung the wrong lyrics to a song? We all do it. We sing along with what we think they’re saying and often find out we’re wrong. And many times, it’s laughable at what we thought the words were.


If you really want to know the lyrics to a song, whether to sing along or just out of curiosity, you can do this easily with the Music app or iTunes, depending on your device. Here’s how to view song lyrics on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
