about

This is the first remix of "Bye Bye Spotify", a song offered as the leading edge of a campaign pressing Spotify to drop its "1,000 streams per year" policy -- which amounts to theft -- and pay all artists on the platform fairly. All proceeds from downloads or streams of this track will be donated to The Music Collective Foundation. Artists are further encouraged to cover and remix the original song, if so inclined.

lyrics

Bye Bye Spotify

Listen up! This is a protest. Spotify is now taking earned royalties from lesser known artists whose songs get less than 1,000 streams per year and handing those funds to more well-known acts. While the amount per artist may be small, the principle is not. This is theft, plain and simple, and we call on Spotify to stop immediately. Until they do, we are pulling our music from the platform, except for this song, which says it all in 4, 3, 2, 1

Hey Spotify, you can go F yourself
For taking all our royalties and giving them to someone else
In our book that’s called stealing and it isn’t gonna fly
It’s why we’re pulling all our songs and saying a cold goodbye
We don’t rely on the fractions of the pennies you gave before
But we’ll be damned if we’re gonna sit and let you rape us even more
It is we who provide the content, not the other way around
If you can’t pay artists fairly then we’re gonna take you down

And say F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.

Dear listeners, if you want to hear our tunes
We’re on most every platform except for one or two
You’ll find us almost everywhere, you can stream us day or night
If you want to support the art you love then join us in this fight
It’s the principle of the matter and it’s time to take a stand
We welcome everyone to come and join us hand in hand
Cancel your subscription to their blatant twisted scam
Take your business elsewhere and tell Spotify to go to hell

And say F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U.
Hey Spotify F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. F.U. – and bye bye!
