If Your Application Is Declined

How to Increase Your Chances on Re-Submission

A declined application is not the end of the process. It indicates that certain aspects require improvement. Below you will find practical recommendations that significantly increase your chances of approval when submitting your application again.

Submit Only Original Music with Full Rights Clearance

Make sure that your tracks are fully original or that you legally own the rights to all elements used — including samples, vocals, remixes, and any derivative components. If you hold licenses or agreements, ensure they are properly documented and available upon request. This significantly increases trust and eliminates legal risks.

Provide High-Quality Master Files and Accurate Metadata

All audio files must meet professional quality standards, with proper mixing and mastering. Metadata must be complete, accurate, and consistent. Low-quality audio or incorrect metadata is one of the most common reasons for rejection. A technically strong release dramatically increases approval chances and future platform performance.

Add Real, Verifiable Examples of Your Music

Your application must include direct links to your social media profiles, streaming platforms, or other public sources where your music can be reviewed. If your content is missing, inaccessible, or does not match the details provided, the application will most likely be declined. Even with a small catalog, it is better to showcase everything available: demos, live recordings, videos, or previews.

Provide Accurate and Verifiable Personal and Legal Information

Before reapplying, carefully review the accuracy of your name, address, country of residence, and other legally relevant details. If we request verification documents, you must be ready to provide them promptly. Accurate data accelerates moderation, increases confidence, and substantially improves approval probability.

Confirm That Your Jurisdiction Allows Legal Cooperation

Ensure that your country or territory is not subject to international or European sanctions that legally prohibit entering into distribution agreements. If you are uncertain, we strongly recommend contacting support before submitting a new application. This prevents rejection based on external legal restrictions.

Update Your Application and Submit Again

Once all rejection factors are resolved — content corrected, links added, rights confirmed, and data verified — you may submit a new application. In the comments field, clearly state that changes have been made and briefly describe what was updated. This demonstrates professionalism and significantly improves moderator trust.
