Your listeners want the words. A lyric video gives them every line in time with the music, inside a world that looks like your song: your artwork, your colors, your mood. We design it, animate it to the beat and deliver it ready for YouTube.
Fans look for the words. A lyric video on your own channel lets them sing along with the official version, not a fan upload.
Many artists release the lyric video with the single and a full music video later. It keeps the song visible while the bigger video is made.
The best lines can become short vertical clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, so the release has posts for weeks.
The words move with the song around a layered heart under hanging stars.
The lyrics live inside the scene, on a drive from sunset into the night.
Hand-drawn line art, with the lyrics appearing as part of the drawing.
The lyrics fill the screen and roll with the meatball, for a kids channel.
A grammar song: big sing-along words and a bird for each part of speech.
A cheeseburger character leads the song under big sing-along words.
A lyric video shows the words of a song on screen, in time with the music. In an animated lyric video the words are part of the design: they appear on the beat, grow on the chorus and move through illustrations made for your song, so it feels like a music video and not like karaoke.
It is lighter to produce than a full animated music video, because the words carry most of the screen. That is why it has its own packages, priced by the length of the song: $150 for up to 1 minute, $300 for up to 2 and $450 for up to 3.
Every lyric video goes through the same three stages you approve one by one, so the words, the look and the timing are right before the next step starts.
The style follows the song. These are the ones artists ask for most, and you can see each one in the videos above:
Choose a lyric video when the words are the hook, when you need a video on release day or when the budget is for one song of many. Choose a full animated music video when the song tells a story with characters, places and something that changes.
Both are made by the same team in the same three approved stages. A lyric video has its own packages by song length; a full music video is priced by the second, with custom illustration and characters that act out the story.
