Song credits and lyrics come with Apple Music. When you subscribe to Apple Music, you can show song credits and view and share lyrics.
Credits cover the performing artists, composition and lyrics, and production and engineering roles, plus available audio quality. You can view song credits while a song is playing, show or hide time-synced lyrics, share lyrics, and report a concern.
Here’s how to show song credits and lyrics on iPhone.
