If you have not released yet

Keep working on your private project while checking the offer and completing the required license steps. Do not treat an available download as permission for every use.

If the song is already public

Locate the beat and any agreement you received, then contact support or the rights holder to clarify the situation. Avoid submitting ownership claims you cannot substantiate.

Put it into practice

Find your next beat, or contact support for help with your account or release.
