Get Started
Releasing music isn’t just about uploading a song and hoping for the best. A strong release needs planning, timing, and the right tools. Here's your ultimate pre-release checklist to make sure your track gets the attention it deserves.
1. Final Mastered Version Make sure your track is fully mixed and mastered. A rough mix won’t cut it. This is the version that will go on all platforms.
2. Cover Art Your track needs an eye-catching cover image. It should be square, high-resolution, and reflect your brand or the theme of the song.
3. Song Metadata This includes:
Track title
Artist name
Contributors
Genre
ISRC code (your distributor may assign this)
Explicit lyrics? Yes or no
4. Distribution Plan Use a distributor like MusicDigi to get your song on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and all major platforms.
5. Release Date Pick a date at least 2-4 weeks in advance. This gives you time to promote the release and submit it for playlist consideration.
6. Pre-Save Link Set up a pre-save link so fans can save the song before it drops. This boosts your chances with Spotify’s algorithm.
7. Press Kit Put together a short press kit with your bio, song details, cover art, and any promo photos. This is helpful if you plan to contact blogs, playlist curators, or radio stations.
8. Social Media Plan Create a rollout plan:
Teasers and snippets
Countdown posts
Behind-the-scenes clips
Release day post
9. Lyric Video or Visuals Even a simple video helps bring your song to life and gives fans something to share.
10. Backup Everything Always save your project files, stems, and final versions in the cloud or a hard drive.
Conclusion Releasing music takes effort, but preparation makes it easier. Use this checklist as your go-to guide every time you drop a new song.
