# Lyrics

> Open the player lyrics panel, understand the login requirement, and manage track-specific lyric entries.

This page covers the lyrics tools connected to the active player session. It is different from the [Library Lyrics](/help/library/lyrics) page, which is the account-level list of your saved lyric entries.

## How Lyrics Access Works

Lyrics access is gated by the current player state:

* A track must be cued in the player.
* The current BeatPass instance must expose the lyrics button.
* You must be signed in before BeatPass fetches lyric data for that track.

<Note>
  Logged-out users can still click the lyrics button, but the current flow opens the login dialog instead of loading lyrics.
</Note>

## Desktop And Mobile Behavior

| Device  | Current lyrics surface                                         |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Desktop | Lyrics open in the player-side panel while playback continues. |
| Mobile  | Lyrics open inside the expanded player overlay.                |

## What You Can Do In The Lyrics Panel

* Read the lyric entry tied to the currently playing track.
* Create or edit the lyric text for that track.
* Save synced lyrics when that data exists.
* Delete the current lyric entry when you no longer want to keep it.

## Privacy And Scope

* Lyrics are private to your signed-in account in the current implementation.
* BeatPass does not fetch track lyrics for anonymous sessions.
* Availability is track-specific, so one track can have lyrics while another does not.

## When You Should Use The Library Page Instead

Use [Library Lyrics](/help/library/lyrics) when you want to review lyric entries across multiple tracks. Use the player lyrics panel when you are actively listening and working on the current track.
