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.
Absolutely. Your lyrics remain your intellectual property and are treated with complete confidentiality.
We will never:
Every submission is handled securely and used solely for the purpose of preparing your professional evaluation.

We offer secure online payment through our website.
Depending on your location, payment options may include:
All payments are processed through trusted payment providers using encrypted connections.
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.
