Hi I am not getting $lyrics populated in SQL

I have
PHP
try {
$result= OpenPDO($conn,\INSERT INTO played\_songs (song, artist, album, length, bpm,genre, listeners,track\_user\_rating,track\_user\_num,comment,ImageBase64,lyrics,year) VALUES (‘$title’,‘$artist’, ‘$album’, ‘$length’, ‘$bpm’, ‘$genre’,‘$listeners’,‘0’,‘0’, ‘$comment’,‘$base64artwork’,‘$lyrics’,‘$year’) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE listeners=‘$listeners’,$_execute,\);
catch(Exception $e) {
$result->rollBack();
ReturnError($code, \An Error occured inserting record to SQL);


It just doesn’t insert lyrics which is multi line string set in database as longtext
$lyrics = implode($xml->xpath(‘//PLAYER/TRACK/@LYRICS’));




I think the data choice might be wrong for multi line string
