What it does
Genius pairs searchable song lyrics with contributor explanations, interviews and music coverage.
Use an annotation as a lead into a lyric's reference or context, then consider who contributed it. The homepage also offers artist-led videos and release coverage. A community explanation and a confirmed statement from a songwriter are different kinds of evidence, even when they sit beside the same lyric.
