"We don't want to run the risk of Musixmatch no longer existing, CEO and Founder Max Ciociola explained.

Musixmatch's library is still available through its own apps for Android, iOS, a Chrome app for YouTube and the web. In a Medium post this week, Musixmatch explained that as of the end of May, its lyrics would no longer be available in the Spotify app. Spotify does still offer insight into the meaning of a song's words, thanks to a separate partnership with Genius. Billboard reports that "updates" are on the way, though specifics aren't mentioned, so there's no concrete indication when or if the feature will return. That's because the streaming service ended its partnership with Musixmatch, a company that power the tool with its catalog of song lyrics. If you tried to access Spotify's lyrics feature recently, you were likely greeted with a "Humming is fun" message instead.
