flag YouTube Music now limits free users to five monthly lyrics views, blurring them afterward and pushing Premium upgrades.

flag YouTube Music is limiting free users to five song lyrics views per month, after which lyrics are blurred and a prompt appears urging a Premium upgrade. flag The change, first tested in September, is now rolling out globally, with users seeing a countdown bar showing remaining views. flag While Google hasn’t confirmed details, the move restricts full lyrics access to Premium subscribers, mirroring past attempts by Spotify to paywall lyrics—though Spotify ultimately kept them free. flag The shift, priced at $11 monthly, may aim to boost subscriptions, but could frustrate free users already enduring ads. flag Alternatives like Musixmatch and Shazam remain options for real-time lyrics.
