Create a GUI to extract Lyrics from song Using Python (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

In this article, we are going to write a python script to extract lyrics from the song and bind with its GUI application. We will use **lyrics-extractor to get lyrics of a song just by passing in the song name, it extracts and returns the song's title and song lyrics from various websites. Before starting, install the **lyrics-extractor module. Run this command into your terminal.

pip install lyrics-extractor

Requirements

Need an API Key and Engine ID of Google Custom Search JSON API.

**Engine ID

Create a Custom Search Engine to get your Engine ID here.
We have to create our own Programmable Search Engine (Google Custom Search Engine) and add Link to fetch lyrics.
Programmable Search Engine is based on Google's core search technology.
It is a search engine for your website and has a task to find information as the user choose.

Choose any link of one to get your search engine:

https://genius.com/
https://lyricsted.com/
http://www.lyricsbell.com/
https://glamsham.com/
http://www.lyricsoff.com/
https://lyricsmint.com/

**JSON API :

The custom search JSON API is able to retrieve and display search result from Programmable Search Engine.
To use the custom search JSON API we have to create Programmable Search Engine.
Visit here to get your API key.

**Approach:

Import the modules.

from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

Pass the Google Custom Search JSON API key and Engine ID into **SongLyrics().

extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(Your_API_KEY, GCS_ENGINE_ID)

Get the lyrics by passing the song name as a parameter to **extract_lyrics.get_lyrics() method.

extract_lyrics.get_lyrics("Shape of You")

Below is the implementation.

Python `

importing modules

from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

pass the GCS_API_KEY, GCS_ENGINE_ID

extract_lyrics = SongLyrics("AIzaSewfsdfsdfOq0oTixw","frewrewrfsac")

extract_lyrics.get_lyrics("Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi Lyrics")

**Output:

extractlyrics-copy-2

Note: Enter your own API key and engine id otherwise it will generate an error.

**Extract lyrics Application with Tkinter:

Python `

import modules

from tkinter import * from lyrics_extractor import SongLyrics

user defined function

def get_lyrics():

extract_lyrics = SongLyrics(
    "Aerwerwefwdssdj-nvN3Oq0oTixw", "werwerewcxzcsda")

temp = extract_lyrics.get_lyrics(str(e.get()))
res = temp['lyrics']
result.set(res)

object of tkinter

and background set to light grey

master = Tk() master.configure(bg='light grey')

Variable Classes in tkinter

result = StringVar()

Creating label for each information

Label(master, text="Enter Song name : ", bg="light grey").grid(row=0, sticky=W)

Label(master, text="Result :", bg="light grey").grid(row=3, sticky=W)

Creating label for class variable

Label(master, text="", textvariable=result, bg="light grey").grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=W)

e = Entry(master, width=50) e.grid(row=0, column=1)

b = Button(master, text="Show", command=get_lyrics, bg="Blue")

b.grid(row=0, column=2, columnspan=2, rowspan=2, padx=5, pady=5,)

mainloop()
