If your release includes multiple versions of the same song, such as a live recording, remix, or instrumental, you'll need to give each version a unique title. This helps listeners distinguish between versions and ensures your music is correctly identified on streaming platforms.
How to label different versions of a song
Add a descriptive version label in parentheses after the track title. For example:
- Song Title (Live)
- Song Title (Acoustic Version)
- Song Title (Instrumental Version)
You can use the following labels, or similar descriptions, to distinguish your tracks:
- Live
- Bonus Track
- Deluxe Version
- Soundtrack from the Motion Picture
- Soundtrack from the TV Series
- Music from the TV Series
- Score
- Radio Edit
- Remix
- Acoustic Version
- Demo
- Instrumental Version
- Re-recorded Version
- Karaoke Version
Important: Each version must have a unique title. Avoid generic labels such as "Track 1" or "Instrumental 2," and make sure your track information is consistent with your release artwork.
How to format remix titles
If you're releasing a remix, you'll also need to credit the remixer in the track's artist information. When including a remixer's name in the track title, it must match the name entered in the Remixer artist role.
Streaming platforms may interpret other words included alongside "Remix" as the remixer's name and display them alongside the primary artist.
If you want to use a creative name for your remix, such as "Night Remix" or "Gold Remix," use Version instead.
Can I use "Remastered" in my title?
You cannot use "Remastered" in individual track titles. However, you can include "Remastered" in the album title when re-releasing an album or EP.
