Do not include the song's entire lyrics or embed the song's music video in the article unless you are certain they are in the [[public domain]]. [[Quotation]]s of the work within the analytical framework can fall into the [[fair use]] provisions within [[US copyright law]] (and to a lesser extent [[fair dealing]] and related concepts within other jurisdictions). However, how much of a song you can quote is open to interpretation, but you should [[Wikipedia:Avoid copyright paranoia|avoid copyright paranoia]]. Examples of works still under copyright can be found at [[:Category:FA-Class song articles]] and should be used as guidelines. Lyrics and music videos that are in the public domain may be entered at [[Wikisource]]. Links to external websites that provide lyrics belong in the "External links" section.

Per Wikipedia policy, please do not link to websites that are in violation of the artist's own copyright. See [[Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works]]. If there is a question regarding the licensing or accuracy of the information, including songwriter credits, please do not add a link. See [[Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided]].

When linking to a music video on YouTube use only the videos that have been uploaded by the musician(s), the record companies, or [[Vevo]]. The official Billboard.com YouTube channel can also be used. Links can be incorporated into the infobox (via {{para|misc}} using {{tl|External music video}}) or the external links of the article using {{tl|YouTube}}. Though the list of musician channels varies, a list of the acceptable record labels and distributors is presented below:
