If you're looking for an Android app that keeps your song lyrics always visible, no matter what else you’re doing on your phone, then the app Floating Lyrics – Music lyrics (available on the Google Play Store) is a top contender. In this blog post I’ll walk you through everything you need to know — what it does, why it’s great, how to use it, and what to watch out for.
What is Floating Lyrics – Music lyrics?
Floating Lyrics – Music lyrics is an Android application developed by BitDance AI Studio (Fun, Creative & Smart Tools) which provides a floating overlay of song lyrics on top of other apps.
“Smart floating lyrics overlay for Spotify & YouTube Music. Whether you’re gaming, chatting, or working, lyrics stay on top of all apps—always in perfect sync.” — Google Play
What this means: when you’re listening to music (via Spotify or YouTube Music, for example), the app detects playback and shows the current lyric lines in a floating window. That way, even if you switch to another app — game, chat, browse, etc — you still see the lyrics without having to switch back to your music player.
Key Features & Why They Matter
Instant Sync (millisecond-accurate)
The app monitors dual media session and notification playback to align lyrics precisely. — Google Play
Pro Display
Multi-line preview, highlighted current line, live progress bar: You can see a few lines ahead while the current line is highlighted.
Full Control
Drag, resize, auto-fit 3–7 lines: Move the floating window around your screen and adjust its size as needed.
Beautiful themes
10+ styles, gradients, and smooth animations for aesthetic customization.
Quick Start
Auto-detects playback, no manual setup needed: Just install, grant permissions, and go.
Compatible with Android 7.0+
Broad compatibility across devices.
Why This App Stands Out (and Why You Should Consider It)
Genuine “floating lyrics” experience
Lyrics render across all apps, ideal for multitasking.
Learning & karaoke friendly
Multi-line preview + highlight + sync help with following and singing.
Minimal setup
Auto-detect reduces friction.
Customization
Choose lines, position, theme, size.
Low system requirement
Android 7.0+ support.
How to Use It — Step by Step
- Install from Google Play.
- Open the app and grant overlay permission.
- Grant notification access / playback monitoring.
- Launch your music app (e.g., Spotify or YouTube Music) and play a song.
- Tap Start in Floating Lyrics — the floating window appears with synced lyrics.
- Drag/resize the window while switching apps; it stays on top.
- Use settings to pick theme, lines (auto-fit 3–7), animations, etc.
Things to Be Aware Of / Limitations
- Permissions required: “Draw over other apps” and “Notification access”.
- Compatibility: Some OEMs (Huawei/Oppo/Vivo) may have overlay quirks.
- Lyrics sources: Obscure songs may have missing/inaccurate lyrics.
- Battery / performance: Any persistent overlay + background service may impact battery; turn off when unused.
- Affiliation: Not affiliated with Spotify or YouTube Music.
Final Verdict
If you multitask while listening to music and want synchronized lyrics without switching apps, Floating Lyrics – Music lyrics is a strong pick. Its overlay support, customization, sync accuracy, and ease of start-up make it stand out. For deeper features like translations or annotations, you can pair it with a full-featured lyrics app — but for what it does, it does it well.
