In this project , we developed an automated music genre classification system based on the lyrics of the song. Most studies on music genre classification is based on the melody or the flow of the song, however, our task is to develop a genre classification system that can automatically classify songs based on their lyrics without the information of their audio signal. We use song lyrics as the inputs and the outputs would be the music genre.

    This task can be very helpful in the aspect of song formation. In many circumstances, it comes the lyrics first, and the composer then try to compose the melody that could go along with the lyrics. This system can help the lyricists categorize the music genre of the lyrics they wrote and help them find the suitable composer to compose the melody that match the lyrics. It can also be a useful tool for lyricists when writing the lyrics for certain genre. For example, if a lyricist receive a request to write lyrics for a love song, the system will help him determine if the lyrics he wrote fit the concept or not.
