Put your song on Spotify

Spotify doesn't take uploads from artists directly: every song reaches it through a distributor. Hookletter gives you everything a distributor asks for, free, on your own song page.

The release kit

• The audio as a 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo WAV.
• A 3000 x 3000 cover drawn from your title (no AI image, no faces; the title is the only text).
• The metadata sheet and your lyrics.
• Answers for Spotify's AI credits, per role, and a rights note on where the audio came from.
• Step-by-step instructions.

Steps

1. Open your private song page (ask “show my Hookletter song”) and download the release kit for the version you like.
2. Pick a distributor that accepts fully AI-generated tracks. In October 2026 DistroKid, Amuse, Ditto, ONErpm and RouteNote do; CD Baby, FreshTunes and iMusician don't; TuneCore and Symphonic accept only some AI models, so check first.
3. Release it as a single under your real name or a stage name of your own (search Spotify for it first), answer the AI questions from the kit, and upload the WAV and cover.
4. For a gift, pick the earliest date; to pitch it to Spotify's editors, at least 7 days out. The distributor emails you when it's live.

Good to know

• A song needs at least 1,000 streams in 12 months on Spotify before it earns anything, and AI tracks rarely get there: a gift song is a gift, not an income.
• Release as a human artist, not an AI persona: Spotify labels AI personas and leaves them out of recommendations.
• One release per song, and never buy streams: fines for artificial streams are passed on to you.
• Releasing is for people aged 18 and over. The song can't be used in film, TV, radio or games.
