  1. Go to the Music app on your iPhone.

    • Tap a category such as Pop or Fitness.

      Tip: You can search for a song in Apple Music based on its lyrics. In the search field, enter a few of the words you remember to find a song.

    • Tap the search field, tap Library, then enter what you’re searching for (such as a song, album, or playlist).
