How to Declare AI Usage in Your Release

When distributing music, declaring how AI was involved in the production or writing process ensures transparency and compliance with Music platforms standards.

Check the box for "AI was used in the creation of this track" if generative AI contributed to the lyrics, music, vocals, instruments, or production.


You can also apply your declaration choices across all tracks in your release using the toggle at the bottom of the form:

For each track using AI, you must select options for two primary categories, Composition and Sounds, and list any specific Tools used (e.g., Suno)

Category 1: Composition (Lyrics, Melody, Harmony, Structure)

  • None

    Select this if humans wrote all lyrics, melodies, chord progressions, and structural arrangements without generative AI.
     

  • AI-assisted

    AI represents a non-material portion of the composition. Choose this if you used AI to generate initial ideas, individual lyrics, or draft melodies that humans then developed, expanded, or significantly altered.
     

  • AI-generated

    AI represents a material portion of the composition. Choose this if generative AI created the primary lyrics, main melody, or core structural composition.

Category 2: Sounds (Vocals, Instruments, Production, Mix)

  • None

    Select this if all vocals, instruments, and mixing were recorded or performed by humans without generative audio tools.

     

  • AI-assisted

    AI represents a non-material portion of the audio. The track remains primarily human-created, but includes isolated AI elements such as a backing vocal, sample, or fill.

     

  • AI-generated

    AI represents a material portion of the audio. Choose this if AI produced primary audio elements, such as main vocals or lead instrumentation

Regarding production tools like Mastering, EQ, compression, or basic reverb:

Standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) mixing tools, AI mastering tools, pitch correction, and traditional audio processors do not require an AI declaration. Declarations are only required when generative AI contributes directly to the composition, vocals, instruments, or production audio.
