FAQ
How do you tell us if the lyrics are wrong?
Get in touch with us, using our webform, and we'll fix it as soon as we can.
Why can't I see lyrics?
If you are a free user of Deezer, or are using version 8.0.8 of Android (or older) or iOS 10.8 (or older), you will not be able to access lyrics. Free users will be redirected to purchase a subscription plan, so you still have a chance to view lyrics!
Why aren't lyrics available in my country?
Your country determines what's available due to different agreements. If lyrics aren't available, understand that we are trying our best to get them to you. The language that the song is written and performed in will be the same regardless of what country you're listening in.
What happens if I click on 'Play on Deezer' but don’t have the Deezer app?
You'll be able to see the album or track and be redirected to the store page to download the Deezer app, which you'll need to listen to the track.
Does the share feature work on the Instagram feed as well?
No, you can only share content and lyrics on your Instagram Stories.
Can I display lyrics while casting on my TV?
Yes, all Deezer users can enjoy lyrics on their TV using Chromecast or Chromecast built-in devices.
I don't see the report a problem button for lyrics?
Make sure you have updated your mobile app. The minimum version is 10.8 on iOS and 8.0.8 on Android.
Can I contact the support team instead of reporting the problem directly on the app?
