Words on screen

A lyric video is a music video that displays the song's lyrics on screen as the audio plays, synchronized to the vocals.

These videos typically feature animated text, simple graphics, or abstract visuals rather than filmed performances: The band released a lyric video ahead of the official music video.

They serve as promotional content, often released before or instead of a full production video, and help listeners learn the words.
