Locked Lyrics for artists - Why can't I edit the lyrics in a song?
You may find that when you want to curate a song, you cannot edit the lyrics because there is a Lock icon next to the Lyrics tab.

Locked Lyrics for Featured songs
To ensure the integrity of the work and the rights of all artists involved, direct lyric edits to songs with featured artists are restricted. This policy is designed to protect the creative contributions of both the primary and featured performers.
If you are a Free User, you can upgrade to a Premium subscription and start contributing to featured lyrics.
In case you have a Musixmatch Pro Plan subscription but still see your lyrics locked, you have two options:
- Send an outsource request to our Curators and Specialists (discover how to do it in this article);
- Contact your featured artist and ask them to edit the lyrics of the song for you.
