Songs typically go live on Thematic within 3–4 weeks from the date of submission.

Here’s how the process works:

  1. Submission & Pending Status:
    Once you submit your song, it will appear in Pending status in your artist dashboard. This means your submission has been received and is awaiting review.

  2. Community Review (2–3 weeks):
    After initial processing, your song is shared with Thematic’s creator community. Creators preview your track and vote to determine if it’s a good fit for the platform.

  3. Approval & Rights Check:
    If your song receives enough positive feedback and passes our rights clearance review, it will be approved for release on Thematic. You’ll be notified whether your song has been approved or passed on by the community.

  4. Early Access for Influential Creators:
    Once live, songs are made available exclusively to Thematic’s top creators for 7 days before being released to the full creator community. This early access helps boost initial traction.

  5. Available to All Creators:
    After the 7-day early access period, your song is released to the full Thematic creator community and becomes discoverable in the site's music library.
  6. Optional Fast-Track:
    Want your song to go live sooner? You can purchase a Front of the Line Boost to expedite the release process.

💡 Note: Not every submitted song is approved. All songs must meet Thematic’s rights and submission guidelines.
