No additions or changes to song lyrics, even small ones, can be made without the creator’s permission. This applies to both adding and removing individual words. It’s not about the number or extent of changes but about the creator’s right to decide how their work is used.

Changes to lyrics can violate both the economic and moral rights of the creator. Moral rights are particularly at risk if the changes affect the artistic value or uniqueness of the work.

To avoid misunderstandings, we recommend requesting permission from the writer of the lyrics or their representatives in advance when any changes to the work are planned.
