Proper Song Citation Guide

Summary

To reference a song without plagiarizing, include the song title, artists name, album name, year of release, and URL if citing online. For educational assignments, consider fair use factors such as purpose, nature, amount used, and market effect. While educational use might qualify as fair use, consulting a legal expert for specific advice is recommended.

I used it in a website for my assignment but I need to reference it. Also I need to be sure I am not plagiarising, is it under fair use?
When referencing a song for an assignment, it's important to adhere to proper citation guidelines. However, whether it falls under "fair use" depends on several factors:
- The purpose and character of your use (commercial or educational)
- The nature of the copyrighted work
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used
- The effect of the use on the market value of the original work
Based on your educational purpose, it might be considered fair use, but it's always good to consult a legal expert for specific advice.
