The song features artificial intelligence simulating the voices of the two artists trading verses about actor and pop star Selena Gomez, who once dated The Weeknd.
Released last Friday,"Heart On My Sleeve" was briefly available on platforms including Spotify and Apple Music before Universal Music Group – which publishes both artists through its Republic Records subsidiary – said it violates copyrights and asked for its removal.
Its creator, known only as @ghostwriter, claims to have used software that was trained on their voices to make the track, posting:"I used AI to make a Drake song feat. The Weeknd."Universal Music Group, which controls about one third of the global music industry, is increasingly concerned about AIs using its songs to produce music similar to that of popular artists.
In March, UMG wrote to streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple, asking them to block AI services from extracting melodies and lyrics from their copyrighted songs, according to emails viewed by the Financial Times. "These instances demonstrate why platforms have a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of their services in ways that harm artists," the statement added.
