So, you have a song that’s ready to go! Congratulations. Now it’s time to get the ball rolling and release what will hopefully be your first of many hits.
To ensure you have everything covered before releasing your song, we’ve put together this checklist:
- Is it copywritten? Make sure you have all of your paperwork filled out and registered with the right performance rights organizations (PRO).
- Do you have all the assets? What are we talking about? Artwork, promotional materials, video, social media posts—everything you’ll need to start promoting your song.
- What’s your release date? Make sure you choose a date that’s at least four weeks away from when you’re writing this so that you can submit your song to editorial playlists on Spotify or Apple Music.
- Develop a marketing plan—this is the most important part of releasing your song! If people can’t hear it, it doesn’t matter how great it is—make sure you put it in front of the right audience at the right time.
- Release and enjoy the process.
You’ve worked hard to get here, and it can be tempting to jump right into the launch before you’re ready.

Our company specializes in helping artists and their teams develop the right strategies and plans for releasing their music. We offer services such as promoting your song on Spotify, YouTube, and Social Media. With our team, your release will go off without a hitch!
