Ownership of Songs Created with Songer
Ownership and usage rights depend on whether a song is locked or unlocked.
Lyrics
Lyrics written by the user belong to the user. Lyrics generated through Songer are licensed to the user once the song is unlocked.
Music
The melody, backing track, and vocals generated by Songer are licensed to the user once the song is unlocked.
Artwork
Artwork generated for a song is also licensed to the user once the song is unlocked.
Unlocked songs may be used for personal and commercial purposes, including distribution on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other services.
Using Custom Lyrics (Upgraded Plans)
The Custom Lyrics feature is available on upgraded plans only.
When users upload their own lyrics:
Full ownership of the lyrics remains with the user
The combined work (user lyrics + Songer-generated music) may be published, monetized, and distributed by the user
Songer does not claim ownership of user-provided lyrics or finished songs.
Licensing Terms
When a song is unlocked or downloaded, Songer grants the user a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the generated content.
This license includes:
The right to publish and distribute music and artwork
The ability to monetize songs on streaming platforms
Permission to perform songs publicly
Songer does not currently provide legal letters or formal licensing documentation. Music licensing requirements vary by jurisdiction and use case. Users should consult a qualified legal professional for guidance specific to their situation.
Copyright
Copyright laws and registration processes differ by country.
While Songer grants usage rights to unlocked songs, copyright registration and legal protection should be handled according to local regulations and with appropriate legal advice.
Final Rights
Songer does not place restrictions on how unlocked songs and artwork are used.
Once unlocked, they may be shared, published, sold, monetized, and distributed without platform-imposed limitations.
