"Free YouTube Music accounts are now seeing their access to lyrics limited, according to multiple reports. Google started testing lyrics as an exclusive feature for Premium users in September, but it appears that it's now receiving a wider rollout. It seems that free users will be limited to viewing lyrics for five songs per month, though we've reached out to Google for confirmation."
"Once that limit is reached, users will only be able to see the first couple of lines. Everything beyond that will be blurred out, and they'll be prompted to "Unlock lyrics with Premium." The banner warning users about their limited lyric views remaining appears prominently when you open the tab, complete with a countdown."
Free YouTube Music accounts now have restricted access to lyrics, with a hard limit of five full lyric views per month. After users exceed the limit, only the first couple of lines display while remaining lines are blurred and replaced with a prompt to "Unlock lyrics with Premium." Google began testing lyrics as a Premium-only feature in September and is expanding the restriction to more users. A prominent banner displays the remaining limited lyric views and includes a countdown whenever the lyrics tab is opened. The change shifts full lyric access behind a paid Premium tier.
