YouTube Music has changed how song lyrics work, upsetting many users. Earlier, everyone could read lyrics for free. Now, free users can only see lyrics for the first five songs they play. After reaching this limit, lyrics become blurred and unreadable. To keep viewing lyrics, listeners must subscribe to YouTube Music Premium, which costs $10.99 a month. This update rolled out widely in early February after testing it with a smaller group. A pop-up shows free lyric views left as a countdown in the app. Many users who love singing along or learning from lyrics feel disappointed. They say it was a basic feature that helped enjoy music better. Some callers say the move seems aimed at pushing people towards paid plans instead of improving the free service. Not all users are affected equally; some don't use lyrics much or find that not all songs have them available anyway. Despite different views, many see this change as unnecessary and unfriendly to regular listeners. YouTube Music has not announced if it will change this decision. For now, free users must choose between limited lyrics or paying for Premium. This move adds to ongoing debates about how music apps should charge for basic features and fight to keep users.
