Hi, I don't know if you've resolved this or not, but I hope this helps.


-You should delete all songs from your iPhone. Make sure that no songs are left in the music app.

-Then, add your songs again using iTunes. Only use one attempt to add your songs, try not to add over multiple attempts since everytime you sync your iPhone's music (especially if new songs are added) it will overwrite the data and you'll end up with some songs missing their lyrics.


This bug has been going on for a few years now. If you want to add new songs, you should do a complete delete of all songs and then sync your library again from scratch. This is the only way to make sure your songs has their custom lyrics.


If you're done, the lyrics in ios 11.3 is back in the player again (like it used to in ios 10). You can also see it from 3D-touching the song.
