How should I format my release and track titles?

Release and track titles should use standard title case. Do not use all capital letters, all lowercase letters, or random capitalization.

For English titles, capitalize the main words in the title. Short words such as a, an, and, as, but, for, from, nor, of, or, so, the, to, and yet should usually remain lowercase.

Short prepositions, such as at, by, in, of, on, to, up, and with, should also usually remain lowercase.

Examples:

  • In the Still of the Night

  • The One and Only

  • Some Kind of Trouble

  • Just the Way You Are

  • Waiting for the End

  • The Ballad of Mona Lisa

  • Lost in a Pair of Eyes

There are some exceptions. Short words should be capitalized when they are being used as an important part of the sentence, such as a verb, adjective, adverb, or part of a verb phrase.

Examples:

  • I Need a Doctor

  • To Be, or Not to Be

  • (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman

Words immediately before and after a dash (-), slash (/), or colon (:) must also be capitalized.

Examples:

  • I Got The - Single

  • Love: And a Million Other Things

  • Journey: Greatest Hits
