# Can I license this song for a TV show or a commercial?

 
Unlimited lease licence

 Depends on the contract 

 
On the Unlimited lease tier, licence it for tv, film or an advert is depends on the contract as these agreements are ordinarily written. Sync requires clearance from BOTH the recording and the composition. Even on an exclusive, the producer typically still controls a share of the composition, so a sync deal usually needs their signature as well as yours.

 

 
## What to check in your agreement

 
Whether sync is granted at all, and who must sign to clear the composition.

 
## The same question on every other tier

 Licence tier | Licence it for TV, film or an advert | 
 Free (tagged) | Not permitted | 
 Basic (MP3) | Not permitted | 
 Premium (WAV) | Not permitted | 
 Trackout / Stems | Not permitted | 
 Exclusive rights | Depends on the contract | 
 

 
## What this tier is

 
Caps removed. Everything else is unchanged: the beat is still sold to other artists and the producer still owns it. Typical price: $150–300.

 
Scope limit. This models the STANDARD form of each tier. Any individual agreement overrides it. Where a cell says 'depends', the answer is genuinely contract-specific and no general resource can resolve it.
