Metadata & credits guidelines

Naming rules that keep your release from being rejected by stores.

Updated Sep 1, 2026

Titles

  • Use Title Case: *Midnight in the City*, not *MIDNIGHT IN THE CITY*
  • Do not include featured artists in the title — use the Featured artists field
  • Version info goes in parentheses: *(Remix)*, *(Live)*, *(Acoustic)*, *(Sped Up)*
  • Never include "Single", "EP", "Official", "New", or years unless part of the actual title

Artist names

  • Match your existing store profile spelling exactly
  • No emojis or symbols unless part of your brand name
  • Do not use another artist's name to attract listeners — this is a store violation

Credits

Every track needs at least one songwriter (legal name). Producers, performers and engineers are optional but improve credits display on Spotify and Apple Music.

Copyright line
