lyricist
Sign in to saveAlso known as song lyricist, lyric writer
A lyricist is a writer who writes lyrics (the spoken words), as opposed to a composer, who writes the song's music which may include (but is not limited to) the melody, harmony, arrangement and accompaniment.
A lyricist is a writer who creates the words sung in songs, working separately from the composer who creates the music. This division of labor matters because it allows artists to specialize in either writing memorable lyrics or crafting compelling melodies and musical arrangements.
