Songs to License
Looking for songs to license? Start with what kind of licensing you mean. If you're an artist, licensing a song means getting the right to record and release your own version of an original song — that's what this catalog is: thousands of human-written songs from professional songwriters, licensable from $30, each auditionable in multiple production styles before you commit. If you're syncing music to picture, adaptive sync licensing arrives on Starchild in fall 2026.
Licensing here is instant and documented: choose your package, check out, and download your files with a license certificate naming the song's writers and publishers and exactly what you licensed. Exclusive terms (3, 6, or 12 months) take a song off the market while it's yours; royalty-free buyouts remove ongoing considerations where writers offer them.

Common questions
- How much does it cost to license a song?
- Song licenses start at $30; adding the instrumental is $50, personalized productions are $60, exclusive terms run $60–$150 for 3–12 months, and royalty-free buyouts are $99 where offered. Stems packages are priced per song.
- What's the difference between licensing a song and licensing music for a video?
- Licensing a song (this page) gives you the right to record and release your own version. Sync licensing pairs an existing recording with picture — a different right, with adaptive sync licensing launching on Starchild in fall 2026.
- Do I need a lawyer to license a song here?
- No — terms are standardized and published, the same for every buyer, with a certificate documenting each purchase. Legal review is for negotiated contracts, not fixed-price marketplace licenses.
