FAQs

Today, song credits are powered by metadata provided to us by labels and distributors. The best way to report and remedy incorrect credit attribution is to contact the distributor or label responsible for delivering a particular recording to Spotify. Once the responsible party updates the copy, then a redelivery of the metadata will take place and be updated across the Spotify platform.

How do I update song credits?

For the initial beta of Songwriter Pages, we’re working with publishers to create the pages via Spotify for Publishing. This is because we need detailed publishing data delivered in CWR format, which is something that most publishers should be able to provide.

We'll share more info once we're able to roll out future phases of Songwriter Pages.


I’m an independent songwriter — how can I get a Songwriter Page?

Spotify for Publishing is available to music publishers in any territory where Spotify is live. As we’re currently in beta, we are granting access to a limited number of publishers in phases. You can request access through our signup form, and we’ll reach out when we’re ready to onboard you. There is no cost to sign up for this tool.

Please note that at this time, Spotify for Publishing is available to publishers who can provide details of the works they represent in the CWR format. The structure of this industry-adopted format allows us to give you detailed mapping to each territory where you represent works.


I'm a publisher. How do I join Spotify for Publishing?


We are working on multiple ways for songwriters to benefit from the work we're doing around publishing analytics, however we aren’t granting individual access to the platform at this time. If you’re a songwriter and would like to discover the analytics around your songs, please reach out to your publisher. A majority of the world’s leading music publishers are partnering with Spotify to further develop this tool.

I'm a songwriter. Can I have access to Spotify for Publishing?


Spotify for Artists data is centered around performing artists' recorded and released songs. Spotify for Publishing data is centered around the underlying composition of each song. An example of the difference would be a song that has been covered by another artist — in Spotify for Artists, you’d only see the recording of the version you did, but in Spotify for Publishing, all recordings of that composition identified by the data that the participating publisher provides would be visible.
