Permission

This is the letter that I would send to Atlantic Records. This is to ask permission to us the song that has been copyrighted by the record label.
It's important to write to the record label because otherwise it is illegal to use copyrighted products without permission. If the atrists song is not copyrighted other artists and groups can copy it.

Song Choice

The song that me and my group have chosen is "Brush You Off" this is sung by Aundrea Fimbres. The song is a Pop/R&B genre with electro influences in some parts of the track. The reason we have chosen this song is because it has deep and meaningful lyrics. It will be helpful for to create our video because we can be creative with the video and show lots of emotion in it.
We didnt chose Katy Perry - "E.T" or Lady Gaga - "Monster" this is because the lyrics are sexual and when we are creating the video it would have inappropriate content.

The lyrics to this song are as shown:

Aundrea Fimbres ‘Brush You off’ lyrics
Oh
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
Go, Go, Oh

Been hurt in the past
Don’t want to take it no more
I’ve played this game
I don’t want to play it no more
I scream at you, you scream at me
We attempt to make up
Can’t bring down each other anymore
Who are we fooling, we just need to let go
That’s what I’ve got to do
Need to let go of you

Try to walk away, you still stay
You get up all in my face
I can’t believe that we
Let it get here
I’m letting go
Take all my things, close the door
Can’t take the screaming no more
This ain’t no good for me
Time for me to leave
I’m letting go

I’ve got to brush you off (7x)

Ain’t trying to be mean but I’ve got to do this
But I’m not gonna lie it’s gonna be you that I miss
I’m hating you, you’re hating me
With days just like this
And it’s no longer cured with your kiss
What are we doing, we just need to let go
That’s what I’ve got to do, need to let go of you.

Try to walk away, you still stay
You get up all in my face
I can’t believe that we
Let it get here
I’m letting go
Take all my things, close the door
Can’t take the screaming no
This ain’t no good for me
Time for me to leave
I’m letting go

I’ve got to brush you off (7x)

I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
Go, Go, Oh


Try to walk away, you still stay
You get up all in my face
I can’t believe that we
Let it get here
I’m letting go
Take all my things, close the door
Can’t take the screaming no
This ain’t no good for me
Time for me to leave
I’m letting go

I’ve got to brush you off (7x)

I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
Go, Go, Oh
