The world’s biggest collection of song lyrics and musical knowledge

Genius is the world's biggest encyclopedia of music. From its foundation in lyrics, it has grown to become a leading brand in music, producing popular video series like VERIFIED and hosting career-spanning live conversations with the likes of Mariah Carey & T-Pain. Genius reaches 100+ million people monthly across the globe and has 5+ million YouTube subscribers. It continues to power the successful “Behind the Lyrics” integration on Spotify and drives a major lyrics integration on Apple Music.

Genius started as a platform for annotating clever rap lyrics—our original name was Rap Genius. Over the years, we’ve expanded our mission to include more than hip-hop, and more than just lyrics. Every song has a story that needs to be told, and the biggest names in music—including Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande—come to Genius to give the world insight into their art.
