Releasing music that includes someone else’s work without proper licensing can lead to takedowns, flags, or even legal issues. If you want to distribute a cover song safely, Too Lost offers an integrated Cover Song Licensing process that ensures your release is fully compliant.
Too Lost has partnered with Easy Song Licensing to make it simple for artists and labels to obtain the necessary license. Cover Song Licensing is a one-time fee of $14.99 per song, and the approval process usually takes 1-2 days.
