im writing a book, shes going running and I want her to be listening to a song, If i put the name of the song in the book, will i be copy written?

Answer 1

Using the name of a song in your book, in most cases, does not automatically constitute copyright infringement. Mentioning the title of a song is generally allowed under the concept of fair use, as long as it’s done in a way that does not imply endorsement, creates confusion, or misleads readers about the content or purpose of the book.

However, it’s generally a good idea to avoid using the lyrics of the song without permission, as that could infringe on copyright. If your use of the song title has a significant impact on the story or if you’re concerned about potential legal issues, you may want to consult a legal expert who specializes in intellectual property rights to get specific advice.

Alternatively, you could also create a fictional song title for your narrative to avoid any potential complications.
