I get oddly excited about little internet hunts like this, so here's how I go about finding lyrics for a track like 'Lost in Paradise' when it's hiding in the noise.
First, I try the simplest trick: I type a distinctive line I can hear from the song into Google surrounded by quotes, then add the word lyrics. If that fails, I'll search site-specific: site:genius.com "Lost in Paradise" or site:musixmatch.com plus the quote. Genius, Musixmatch, and LyricFind are usually my go-tos because they often have annotated lines or verified transcriptions.
If the song is obscure or in another language, I flip tactics: use Shazam or SoundHound to identify the exact version, then check the streaming app (Spotify, Apple Music) for synced lyrics, or hunt on YouTube for an official upload — the description or pinned comments sometimes carry the full text. For really stubborn tracks I’ll peek at fan forums, subreddit threads, and the Wayback Machine for old lyric pages. Lastly, keep an eye on accuracy — fan transcriptions can be off, so cross-check a couple sources before trusting a line.

Honestly, it varies a lot depending on which song and release you mean. For the track 'Lost in Paradise'—the one tied to the anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen'—there’s no single, universal place that guarantees an official translation. Sometimes the artist or label will publish an English (or other language) translation in the CD/LP booklet, on the official website, or as subtitles on an official YouTube upload. Streaming platforms like Apple Music occasionally include translated lyrics, too.
If you’re hunting for a trustworthy version, I usually check three places: the artist’s official site and social media, the record label’s press pages, and the official anime site or Blu‑ray booklet. When none of those yield a translation, fan translations are common and often very good, but they can differ in tone or intent. I like comparing a couple of translations side by side—literal versus poetic—because lyrics often lose nuance when shifted between languages, and seeing both helps me appreciate the lines more personally.

When I want to sing along to 'Lost in Paradise', my go-to is usually Spotify — it shows synced lyrics on mobile and sometimes on desktop. Tap the bar at the bottom while a track plays, then swipe up to see live lyrics (if available). Apple Music is another solid bet: the lyrics panel scrolls in time with the song on iPhone/iPad and on macOS it shows a full-lyrics view too.
I've also had luck with Amazon Music (their real-time lyrics are pretty neat) and YouTube Music, where you can often open the three-dot menu and select 'Show lyrics' or just check the official video description. Deezer and Tidal both offer lyric displays as well. A tiny caveat: not every release of 'Lost in Paradise' will have synced lyrics — live versions, remixes, or region-locked editions sometimes miss out.
If a platform doesn't show them, I usually pull up Musixmatch or Genius in another tab; Musixmatch integrates with Spotify and is great for karaoke vibes, while Genius often has annotated lines or translations. For me, seeing the words while I cook or ride the train turns a good track into a small private concert.

There are a few ways I judge which 'Lost in Paradise' versions have the most accurate lyrics, and I tend to trust official sources first. If it's the 'Lost in Paradise' by ALI featuring AKLO (the one used in 'Jujutsu Kaisen'), I look for the printed lyrics in the single/album booklet or the label’s official post — those are the gold standard. After that I check the official YouTube lyric video or the release on streaming services where the artist/label has uploaded timed lyrics (Apple Music and Spotify both include those now).
If the song has Japanese/rap sections, I compare the original Japanese text (from the booklet or official PDF) with multiple translations: a literal line-by-line and a polished localization. Fan sites like Genius can be helpful for line discussions and alternate readings, but I treat them as community-sourced and double-check against the official text and the audio. For tricky rap lines, I slow the track, listen to live performances, and cross-reference a few performances because artists sometimes change words on stage. In short: printed lyrics > label/artist posts > official lyric videos/streaming lyrics > community annotations, and I mix literal translations with a faithful poetic one when I want to sing along or study the meaning.

Back when I used to dig through CD booklets and scribble release dates in the margins of my planner, I learned that a title like 'Lost in Paradise' can belong to many different songs, so the “earliest published lyrics” depends on which one you mean. One clear instance is 'Lost in Paradise' by 'Evanescence' — that track appears on the self-titled album 'Evanescence', which was released in 2011, and the lyrics were first printed in that album’s booklet and promotional materials around the same time.
If you’re chasing the absolute earliest printed lyric instance for any work titled 'Lost in Paradise', you’ll want to decide which artist’s version you mean, then check album liner notes, sheet music publications, and music publisher records. For me, the satisfying part is the treasure-hunt: flipping through scanned booklets on Discogs, peeking at publisher entries on ASCAP or BMI, and sometimes finding a lyric printed in a magazine or fanzine years before a formal album release. Tell me which artist you have in mind and I’ll dig further into the archives for you.

I get why you'd want to drop the lyrics of 'Lost in Paradise' into a fan video — that chorus hits hard and it instantly gives a mood. Before you hit upload, though, keep in mind that lyrics are protected by copyright, so using the original words in a video usually needs permission from whoever owns the song's publishing rights. That permission is called a synchronization (sync) license, which is different from the simple mechanical license you might get for making an audio cover. Platforms like YouTube also have Content ID systems that can automatically flag your video, mute the audio, demonetize it, or direct revenue to the rights holder.
In my last attempt at a montage I learned the practical side: you can try reaching out to the publisher (check ASCAP/BMI/PRS/JASRAC databases depending on the territory) and ask for a sync license, but small fan creators often get denied or charged. Another route is making the clip transformative — heavy editing, commentary, or parody can strengthen a fair use claim, but fair use is murky and risky; it isn’t a guarantee. If you want a safer, faster option, use a licensed instrumental, commission a cover where the performer clears sync rights for you, or write your own lyrics inspired by the song.
Personally, I usually test with short clips privately, then either swap to an instrumental or ask permission when I can. It’s a bit of a pain, but losing a video to a claim stings more than spending an hour emailing publishers.

I've tripped over this exact question while digging through my music folders, so I get why it's annoying — there are several songs called 'Lost in Paradise' and the writer credit changes depending on which one you mean.
If you can drop the artist or where you heard it (anime, movie, streaming playlist), I can look up the specific liner notes. In general, the best places I check first are the album booklet, the streaming-service credits (Spotify and Apple Music sometimes list writers now), Discogs for physical-release credits, and sites like MusicBrainz. For Japanese releases I also use JASRAC or the label's official page. If it’s a rap feature, the featured rapper often writes their own verses, so credits can be split between multiple writers. Tell me which version you mean and I’ll hunt down the exact original lyricist for you.
