Everything You Need to Know Before Submitting Your Lyrics

Thinking about submitting your lyrics for a professional review?

You’re not alone.

Below you’ll find answers to the questions we’re asked most often about the TIM A&R Lyric Evaluation. If your question isn’t answered here, don’t hesitate to contact the Tunes In Motion team—we’re always happy to help.


Is my lyric evaluation generated by AI?

No. Every lyric is personally reviewed using the TIM A&R Lyric Evaluation Standard v1.0—our professional review framework developed from years of songwriting, music production and A&R experience.

We may use modern technology to support our workflow where appropriate, but every evaluation is individually reviewed and professionally written to ensure the feedback is meaningful, consistent and specific to your lyrics.

Our goal is to provide real insight—not generic comments.


Are my lyrics confidential?

Absolutely. Your lyrics remain your intellectual property and are treated with complete confidentiality.

We will never:

  • Share your lyrics with third parties.
  • Publish your work without your permission.
  • Use your lyrics for promotional purposes without your written consent.


Every submission is handled securely and used solely for the purpose of preparing your professional evaluation.


Do I keep all rights to my lyrics?

Yes. Submitting your lyrics for evaluation does not affect your copyright or ownership in any way. You retain 100% ownership of your lyrics and all associated intellectual property at all times.


Can I submit multiple songs?

Yes. You may submit as many lyrics as you wish. Each submission receives its own independent evaluation report and should be submitted separately to ensure every lyric receives the time and attention it deserves.

If you’re planning to submit an EP, album or larger songwriting project, please contact us to discuss multiple-song packages.


Do my lyrics have to be finished?

Not at all. Many songwriters submit lyrics while they’re still being developed.

We evaluate lyrics at every stage, including:

  • First Draft
  • Work in Progress
  • Final Draft
  • Pre-Recording Version


Professional feedback early in the writing process can often make the biggest difference.


How long does the evaluation take?

Our standard turnaround time is: 3–5 Business Days

This starts once we have received both your completed submission and payment.

If demand is unusually high, delivery may take slightly longer. Should that happen, we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.


What payment methods do you accept?

We offer secure online payment through our website.

Depending on your location, payment options may include:

  • Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • PayPal
  • WERO (Ideal)


All payments are processed through trusted payment providers using encrypted connections.


Do you offer refunds?

Because every lyric evaluation involves personal analysis and individually written feedback, refunds generally cannot be offered once the evaluation process has started.

If you’ve accidentally submitted the wrong document or experience a technical issue, please contact us as soon as possible.

We’ll always do our best to find a fair solution.


Will you tell me if my lyrics are ready to become a song?

Yes. One of the primary goals of our evaluation is to determine whether your lyrics provide a strong foundation for a professionally recorded song.

If we believe your lyrics are ready, we’ll tell you.

If we believe they could become even stronger, we’ll explain exactly what could be improved—and why those improvements matter.

Our recommendations are always constructive, objective and designed to help you grow as a songwriter.


Do you guarantee commercial success?

No. No professional songwriting or A&R service can honestly promise hit songs, streaming success or record deals.

What we do guarantee is a thorough, objective and professional evaluation based on:

  • Storytelling
  • Emotional Impact
  • Songwriting Quality
  • Commercial Potential
  • Industry Expectations
  • The TIM A&R Lyric Evaluation Standard v1.0


Our mission is simple:

To help you write the strongest lyrics possible.


Why should I have my lyrics reviewed before recording?

  • Because changing words on paper is far easier—and far less expensive—than rewriting a song after it’s been recorded.
  • A professional lyric review helps you strengthen your story before investing time and money in production, musicians, studio sessions and mixing.
  • Strong lyrics create stronger songs.
