Choose the song Once you have access to your Musixmatch dashboard, **go to your “Roster” of songs.** You may immediately see songs in your “To Do” list that are missing lyrics. Otherwise, hit the “Music” tab. Select the song and hit “Edit Lyrics.” #### 4\. Enter the lyrics You can paste the lyrics into the lyric field. Or listen along to the song and **transcribe the lyrics in real-time**. **For convenience, a player below the lyrics field will source audio from Spotify or Apple Music.** [![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/gWHl6n5HcKdIgBhGw1i5SUUcAhOOruhORbs7hOaB4ubkBA7XgWdPIaDvyYLX48mc-LzaBxXprsgWN2ocvh0ZuBRV1emhS2xKFmS6PFMYOpZVBxcQy5MEfZVcgpLtgOfTtboR-sG-2OGq-_VwppCZ5Lc)](https://blog.reverbnation.com/what-is-mastering-heres-what-every-musician-needs-to-know/?ref=hypebot.com) #### 5\. Format the lyrics After typing or pasting the lyrics, be sure to follow Musixmatch’s formatting guidelines. For instance: Every line should begin with a capital letter. If your entry doesn’t meet the formatting guidelines, you’ll see a helpful window with suggestions. **A virtual assistant can automatically fix these errors.** #### 6\. Add *section* tags This is where you’ll categorize stanzas as **verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge**, etc. If you have a longer instrumental section or solo between sections, you can mark that as #INSTRUMENTAL. #### 7\. Sync the words to the music The Musixmatch app makes it easy for you to toggle through the lyrics while the track plays. This process **time-stamps the lyrics** so they’ll automatically sync when someone streams the track on Spotify. Or when someone creates an Instagram Reel using your song. #### 8\. List credits Who wrote the words and music? Did someone else **mix, [master](https://blog.reverbnation.com/what-is-mastering-heres-what-every-musician-needs-to-know/?ref=hypebot.com), and produce** the track? Were there session players? You can credit everyone accordingly during this step. #### 9\. Submit the lyrics Hit the “Send” button when you’re ready. Then Musixmatch will deliver the words to their affiliated platforms. If there are any issues, **you’ll see a warning appear** and have a chance to fix it. #### 10\. Share your lyrics! Now the fun part. It’s time to post creative content that **showcases your words** on Instagram and Facebook. --- ### Conclusion One of the happy outcomes of the Social-Video Age is that **people are accustomed to seeing captions** now. They expect text on-screen. And they’re willing to READ IT to dive deeper into the content. And guess what? That means people will engage with your lyrics. Great news for songwriters who want their **social content to be an extension of their artistry!** Thanks to [Musixmatch](https://about.musixmatch.com/artists/verified-artist?ref=hypebot.com), getting your lyrics synched-up with your tracks on major social and streaming platforms is easy. This is a process you should revisit **every time you launch new music**, and it’ll take you barely more time than it takes to listen to the song.
