Lyrics will shrink when switching or replaying the song

Lyrics will shrink when switching or replaying the song

Plan: premium
Version: 8.9.44.362
Devices: IPhone 12
iOS: 17.5.1

Hello everyone,
I have been troubled by an issue with my Spotify for a long time.
The lyrics always shrink when the song switch or replay, it cannot stay in lyrics mode continuously. It should be able to stay in lyrics mode right?

And some times then the song replay, I can not open lyrics immediately, it will disappear like the Spotify doesn’t have lyrics for the song.
I have to minimize the "Now Playing" window and then open it again for the lyrics to appear.

Can anyone help me to solve this issue? This is been troubled me for many years.
Thank you guys!

Hey @BrantSun! Thanks for your question here in the Community.

This is normal behavior, as sometimes Spotify can't load the lyrics for a specific song provided by MusixMatch. Not due to errors, but because the lyrics might not be available yet.

So if you're seeing the lyrics for a song and the playback ends, the lyrics panel will close, and The Now Playing screen will load information for the next song. If you want to continue seeing the lyrics, you'll need to open it up again.

Hope this helps clear things up. Let me know if this is not what you meant.
