New Monetunes x Musixmatch Partnership Unlocks Global Lyric Royalties for Songwriters and Publishers

Most songwriters don’t know this, but your lyrics can earn royalties—every time they’re shown on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.

The problem?

Most of those royalties go uncollected.

That’s exactly what Monetunes and Musixmatch are solving with their new partnership.

If you’re a songwriter or music publisher, here’s what you need to know.

Why Lyric Royalties Matter More Than Ever

Lyrics are now a key part of how music is consumed:

→ Listeners search for lyrics on Google and YouTube

→ Fans share lyrics on Instagram Stories and TikTok

→ Platforms display synced lyrics during playback

And yet, lyric royalties remain one of the most misunderstood and underpaid pieces of music publishing.

While many artists and publishers focus on mechanical and performance royalties, lyric royalties are often left on the table.

This is mostly due to poor metadata, misattribution, or simply a lack of infrastructure to track and collect lyric usage.

What the Monetunes x Musixmatch Partnership Means

Monetunes is now fully integrated with Musixmatch—the world’s largest lyrics catalog and the official lyrics partner for Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Instagram, Google, Shazam, and more.

This means Monetunes clients will now automatically receive lyric royalties from all supported DSPs (Digital Service Providers) and platforms, with no extra work required.

Here’s what’s included:

→ Automatic registration of lyrics with Musixmatch’s global network

→ Proper attribution to the original songwriter or publisher

→ Royalty collection from all platforms where lyrics are used

→ No manual uploads or claims required

This partnership ensures that song lyrics are not only properly identified, but also monetized—worldwide.

Why This Is a Big Deal for Music Creators

The music industry still runs on outdated systems.

Even in 2025, most independent creators and small publishers don’t have access to reliable infrastructure for collecting royalties across global platforms.

As a result, millions in royalties go unclaimed every year—especially from fast-growing revenue streams like lyrics, UGC (user-generated content), and social media usage.

Monetunes is working to fix that.

By combining modern tech with direct partnerships, Monetunes helps creators collect everything they’re owed—across formats, territories, and platforms.

This latest integration with Musixmatch is another step toward that goal.

How to Start Collecting Your Lyric Royalties

If you're a Monetunes client, you're already covered.

Your lyrics will now be registered, tracked, and monetized through Musixmatch, automatically.

If you’re not yet using Monetunes and want to ensure you're collecting all your lyric royalties, here’s what to do next:

→ Visit Monetunes.com

→ Sign up as a writer, band or record label

→ Submit your catalog

→ Start collecting from every platform that uses your lyrics

Final Thoughts

This partnership isn’t just a feature—it’s part of a bigger mission.

The music industry is broken for creators.

Too many revenue streams are hidden, siloed, or left unclaimed.

Monetunes is building a smarter, more complete publishing solution—where every song, every lyric, and every use is tracked and paid.

This integration with Musixmatch helps make that vision real.
