What is 'Overall Repetition'?
Repetition matters. Overall repetition gives you a score for all types of repetition used in your lyrics, including: word repetitions (i.e. "la la la"), sentence repetitions (i.e. refrains), letter repetitions ("oooooooooooooooooooh baby") and even section repetition (how many times does your chorus repeat?). The higher the score - the lower the repetition. One (1) is the maximal score and indicates a song without repetition of any kind.

SongSource FAQ
Prior to Submitting your song
Which artists can I pitch my songs to?
The colorful images on the SongSource grid represent artists for whom Mypart has been granted official permission (by the artists/their label) to collect songs. You may submit your songs to any of these enabled artists.
What about the artists whose pictures are greyed-out?
The greyed-out images indicate artists for whom MyPart does not yet have official approval to collect songs. However, you may submit an ”invitation” for these artists. Artists who receive a substantial amount of “invitations” will be the ones we next aim to bring aboard to MyPart.
Can I upload a song without choosing a specific artist, and instead opt to let MyPart choose the artist?
We believe that you are in the best position to make the artistic decision regarding who should use your songs. This is why we believe you should pitch each song to a specific recording artist. However, if you can't decide, you can pitch your song to the Wild card!
What type of content can I submit to recording artists on MyPart?
You can pitch an original song demo, remix, song lyrics, or a video of you performing your song. The more developed a song, (lyrics + composition/production), the stronger a shot it has of being placed.
Do you have a mobile-app?
MyPart currently only supports submissions via laptop or desktop computer. SongSource is not yet mobile-compatible.
What does it mean to register me in the PRO?
MyPart provides admin and publishing services for songwriters who are not registered with any PRO. If your song is successfully matched to a performing artist and they are interested in working with you, MyPart will help you register with a PRO ( such as ASCAP or BMI) to collect your royalties.
Do I have to own 100% of my song?
Yes, you should own 100% of any song that you submit. If you co-wrote the song with another songwriter, you must obtain their permission to upload the song.
Can I keep my song on additional platforms (Spotify, Soundcloud, etc.) while it’s still in the process of being reviewed on Mypart?
Yes, however please be mindful that songs that are made public during the submission period could be considered “already released”/covers, which may dissuade the artist to whom you are pitching from using the song.
What kind of songs are you searching for?
We don’t believe in good and bad songs, we believe in the right song for the right artist at the right time. The matching process is subjective, and will depend on the artist’s current needs and requirements.
How should I choose which artist to pitch to?
We recommend listening to recently released albums/records by each of the artists for whom we collect songs, and try to tailor your writing to one of their styles/bodies of work. All artists and their teams have different references. Can you visualize the artist singing your song? If you can, consider pitching your song to them.
What is the benefit for artists/songwriters?
MyPart enables songwriters to pitch their song to artists signed with different record labels. If the artists and their teams are interested in your songs, we'll help you negotiate the best publishing deal for that song. You'll receive royalties and the door will be opened to work on other songs for additional artists. If you’re an artist, yourself, you’ll have the chance to be featured in a song, be signed by a label, etc.
What if I can’t find a suitable artist to pitch my songs to?
We recognize that it can be difficult to choose a specific artist to pitch your songs to. That’s why we’ve added the “Wildcard” feature to our SongSource Platform. This feature allows songwriters to pitch their songs on SongSource without selecting a specific recording artist. Simply head to the SongSource Portal and click on the grey question mark icon, labeled “Wildcard.” Mypart’s AI will then be tasked with trying to find the most suitable match for the submitted song.
What is the Wildcard Feature?

Registration & Song Submission
How many songs can I submit?
You may upload as many songs as you’d like, but we recommend only sending the songs you feel are the best fit for the performing artist with whom you aim to collaborate.
If my song is registered with BMI, SESAC or ASCAP, can I still upload it to MyPart?
If you are already a member of BMI, ASCAP, SESAC or any other PRO (Performance Rights Organizations), MyPart will reach a co-publishing agreement for your specific song when it is successfully placed with an artist. If you are not listed in any PRO, however, MyPart offers to provide this service for you .
What should I include in the “Description” field when I upload a song?
Add a one-liner that best describes your song. You have up to 77 characters to best describe your song to the performing artist’s representatives. You may leave it blank if you’d like. Please avoid including any personal details - we want the artist to focus on your song, rather than who you are.
Do you screen the submitted songs?
MyPart does not screen or listen to the submitted songs. Rather, we sort and prioritize the songs according to specific parameters defined by the performing artists and their respective teams.
How do I send my songs to a recording artist?
Do you send any feedback on the submitted songs?
Yes we do, If your song got reviewed you will be notified. In any case, you will get a response on your submitted song within 3 months.
Post Song Submission
What should I do if I decide I no longer want my song to be on the MyPart platform?
A: You have the right, at any time, to ask us to remove your song from our platform. Simply send us an email to my_art@myart.com with the name of your song and we will remove it from our platform within a reasonable time.
How long does MyPart own a submitted song?
When a song is submitted to MyPart, we have the right to pitch it exclusively for a period of 3 months. We do not own the song, we are merely representing/promoting your work. If you already have a deal in place with a music publisher, then once your song will be chosen by an artist or a label we will negotiate with you and your music publisher on the royalty split.
Can I continue to upload songs even if I have submitted one before?
Yes, absolutely! We recommend that you submit as many songs as you would like, as long as it isn’t the same song or a different version of the song that is similar to what was submitted before during the 3 month period of exclusivity.
What can I expect after song submission?
Once you submitted a song, it is processed with MyPart's AI and sent to the relevant representative of the performing artist. If your song got reviewed, you would be notified. In any case, you will get a response on your submitted song within three months.
Does anyone on behalf of the artists actually listen to the submitted songs?
Yes, they do! All content submitted on our platform (per A&R for each performing artist) is viewable in a highly tailored smartphone app accessible only by the A&R folks who will be looking through the submitted material.
How can I track my submitted work status?
When logged in, you can see your submitted content with general details about the amount of times viewed, etc. Every interesting update will be sent via email.
How is my song/material protected?
Your submissions are private. No one other than the official creative team of the artist to whom you’ve pitched (and the Mypart team), has access to your work. We also have a digital record of when you submitted your song and who has listened to it. MyPart also has a dedicated tech team with a background in cyber security that works to secure your songs.
