Challenge: The Lyrical Audit

Secure your intellectual property in two days.

This challenge focuses on the business of your lyrics. You will create a definitive, professional lyric sheet for one of your songs and audit its ownership status.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Choose one of your released songs. Use an AI transcription tool to generate a baseline lyric sheet. Manually correct it line-by-line until it is 100% accurate. This is your new 'source of truth' document.
  2. Day 2Review the lyric sheet. If it was a co-write, can you identify specific lines contributed by others? Does your split sheet reflect these contributions? Perform an emotional resonance gut-check: does the documented lyric still carry the song's core feeling?
