YouTube Music Puts Lyrics Behind Paywall

Google is rolling out a change that restricts song lyrics in YouTube Music to Premium subscribers, testing on Android and iOS and limiting free users to lyrics for five songs before a paywall appears. The U.S. individual subscription costs $10.99 per month and includes ad-free listening, background play, offline downloads, and AI features like Ask Music, affecting user access and conversion mechanics.
