Synced lyric deliveries to Apple Music and YouTube are available to all artists on Musician Plus and Ultimate subscriptions. We also offer our Lyric Blaster service, powered by Musixmatch, if you want synced lyrics in Spotify, Tidal, Instagram and Facebook.

To get synced lyrics on Spotify and Instagram, the first step is to upload plain text lyrics. Then, when submitting, opt into Lyric Blaster. Once your plain lyrics are approved, you can submit synced lyrics from the lyrics dashboard at https://distrokid.com/lyrics by clicking "Synced Lyrics."

Creating Synced Lyrics

To create synced lyrics for a song, you can head to the release page for the release from your DistroKid dashboard, scroll to the "Songs" section, and then click on "Synced Lyrics" by the song you want to add synced lyrics to. Alternatively, you can head to the lyrics dashboard at https://distrokid.com/lyrics and click on "Synced Lyrics" next to the song.

Here's how to create synced lyrics once you're on the synced lyrics page for a song:

1. Press the play button to start the audio for the song.
2. When a lyric starts, hold the space bar for the duration of that lyric.
3. When a lyric ends, release the space bar.
4. Repeat for all lyrics until the last lyric ends.

If you mess up the timing for a lyric, click where it says "Click here to reset" to reset all synced lyrics and try again.

Please note that synced lyrics can only be submitted for tracks with approved plain lyrics. If you've just uploaded plain lyrics, please wait for our review of those lyrics, which typically takes about a day.

If you are having trouble with playback while trying to sync your lyrics, try again using Google Chrome if you aren't already.
