Editing a song

Fix a song record and track the contribution you made.

You can fix a song's title, release details, artwork, links, lyrics, genres, labels and credits from the song editor.

Open the editor

You need a signed-in account to suggest an edit.

For a published song:

  1. Open the song page.
  2. Scroll to the Contributors area. On a desktop, it is in the listening panel. On a phone, continue down the page until you reach it.
  3. Click Suggest an edit.
  4. Choose the section you want to change.

For a pending song that you added or edited:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
  2. Choose Manage contributions.
  3. Find the song and click Edit.

Make and save the change

  1. Change only the fields that need correction.
  2. Check the progress list for required sections.
  3. Read the accuracy statement.
  4. Click Save.

Your edit is saved to your contribution history. A change to a published song updates that public record. A pending song stays pending until it is reviewed.

If you need an older version

Administrators can open a song's contribution history and choose an older version. The revert is saved as a new contribution, so the change remains traceable.

Use the existing record

If a song already exists, edit that song. Do not add a second copy to fix a mistake.
