For your release to be applicable for social monetisation, or social delivery, every track in the release must be a complete original and not contain any third-party material that was originally released by another musician. This means if you have an album of 10 tracks and even one of those tracks contains third-party material, you won’t be able to deliver any of the other 9 tracks to social media.  

So, for example, collaborating with other musicians on your own release such as having a back-up singer is allowed. But cover versions, remixes or using beats and samples from existing songs or online libraries [even free sample libraries] unfortunately won’t be allowed to opt-in for social monetisation. 

If your track hasn’t been submitted yet, then head on over our article that details how you can get your music on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
