You’ll now have a text box like this on your slide…

Section Layout
Select the last layout (for the song slides)…
Select the title box. Then go to Shape Styles > Quick Styles and change the style of the title box so it’s easier to read, stands out more, and is not the same color as the subtitle box (song name).
