Can I release a cover song?

Yes, we can distribute cover songs.

However, please bear in mind that the following must be considered:

  1. Publisher, Composer and Lyricist metadata must reflect that of the original song you are covering.
  2. In order to distribute the release (that your cover song features on) to digital download stores in the USA, Canada, Mexico, India, Japan and Pakistan, you will need to purchase a license, or obtain permission from the original copyright owners.

Artists and labels should obtain licenses separately for themselves.

If you need to buy a cover song license, we recommend using Affordable Song Licensing.

We cannot distribute a cover for you to all platforms until we have been provided with proof of permission or license being purchased.
