How to license a song for a commercial project
The license is generated inside the app for an individual track. The steps below assume you have a Pro or Studio plan.
Create or choose the track
Make a track on the Create page, or pick one you already have in your Library.
Confirm your inputs are yours
Make sure any lyrics or uploaded audio used in the track are your own or properly licensed.
Generate the license
From the Library, generate the Content Usage License for that specific song.
Keep the record
Save the license alongside your project so you can show it to a platform, client or distributor if asked.
The basics
Personal use and commercial use are different
Everyone who creates music on the site can use it personally, subject to the Terms of Service. Personal use means things like listening, sharing with friends or using a track in a non-monetized personal project. Using music in anything that earns money, promotes a business or is delivered to a client is commercial use, and that is where the Content Usage License comes in.
Starter and Basic plans
Include downloads and personal use under the Terms. They do not include the Content Usage License for commercial projects.
Pro and Studio plans
Subscribers can generate a song-specific Content Usage License from the Library for eligible commercial projects, subject to its terms.
The license
How the Content Usage License works
The Content Usage License is issued per song. Pro and Studio subscribers generate it from the Library for the specific track they plan to use. Keep a copy with your project files in case a platform, client or distributor asks for proof of your usage rights.
- It is song-specific: each license applies to one track, not your whole account.
- It is non-exclusive: it grants usage rights, not exclusive ownership of the music.
- It is for eligible commercial projects, subject to the license terms and any third-party rights.
- It is generated by you from the Library while you are on a Pro or Studio plan.
Boundaries
What the license does not cover
A license can only pass on rights that exist in the generated music. It cannot create rights in material that belongs to someone else.
Exclusivity
We do not claim ownership of your generated content, but AI systems can produce similar results for different users. The license does not stop others from using similar music.
Third-party rights
It does not grant rights in anyone else's work, such as lyrics you did not write, recognizable melodies, or a real person's name or likeness.
Uploaded material
If you upload audio to remix, extend or cover, the license does not cover that source material. You need your own rights to it.
Content ID outcomes
We cannot guarantee how YouTube Content ID or other automated matching systems will treat a track. Claims are decided by those platforms and rights holders.
Good practice
Before you publish or deliver AI music
- Check your plan: commercial projects need an active Pro or Studio subscription when you generate the license.
- Generate the license for the exact song you are using and store it with the project.
- Only upload audio, lyrics and other input you wrote yourself or have permission to use.
- Do not present the music as exclusively yours or as free of any rights or conditions.
- Read the Terms of Service for the full conditions. If your project carries significant legal or financial risk, ask a qualified lawyer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use music from Music AI Generator commercially?
Pro and Studio subscribers can generate a song-specific, non-exclusive Content Usage License from the Library for eligible commercial projects, subject to its terms and any third-party rights. Starter, Basic and free-credit use do not include that license.
Do I own the copyright in the music I generate?
We do not claim ownership of your generated content, and the Terms grant you a non-exclusive right to use it subject to their conditions. Whether AI-generated music can be protected by copyright depends on the law where you are, so we cannot promise that you hold a copyright.
Is the license exclusive?
No. It grants usage rights for a specific song, not exclusive ownership. Because AI can produce similar results for different people, another user may create music that sounds alike.
Will my track get a Content ID claim?
We cannot guarantee it will not. Automated systems such as YouTube Content ID are run by the platforms and rights holders. If you receive a claim, you can reference your license record if you choose to dispute it through that platform.
Does the license cover audio I upload?
No. Material you upload for remix, extend or cover remains subject to the rights of whoever owns it. You need your own rights or permission for that source audio.
What happens if I cancel my Pro or Studio plan?
The license is generated while you have a Pro or Studio plan, so generate it for the songs you need before your subscription ends. For the exact conditions that apply to existing licenses, see the Terms of Service and the license text, or contact us.
