Did you know Calm Down remix by @Rema & Selena Gomez was uploaded and published by Selena Gomez, and People remix by Libianca featuring Ayrastarr and Omah Lay was uploaded and published by Libianca ?

If you didn’t know, then atleast now you know ☺️. If you knew, and couldn’t figure out why Selena Gomez was responsible for publishing Calm Down Remix then we are here to help ..

‘Calm Down Remix’ is an “And” collaboration while People remix was a “Feature” collaboration. But what does this really mean ?

Let us explain …

When an artist is featured on a song, it means that they are not the main artist or the lead performer on the track. Rather, they are a guest artist who has been invited to contribute to the song. Their contribution could be in the form of a verse, a chorus, or even just a few lines

So, when you see a song listed as “Artist A featuring Artist B,” it means that Artist A is the main artist, and Artist B is the featured artist. In other words, Artist A is the lead performer, and Artist B is a guest who has been invited to collaborate on the track. 

 This means Libianca owns the masters and is responsible for the publishing of “People Remix” while Omah Lay and Ayrastarr who are the featured artists do not so they can not perform or use this song without permission from Libianca and her team.

On the other hand, when you see a song listed as “Artist A and Artist B,” it means that both artists are equal collaborators on the song. They both have an equal share in the performance and creation of the song, and neither one is the main artist or the featured artist. In other words, we can not completely say Rema is the owner of Calm Down Remix because his collaboration with Selena Gomez was an “AND” type.

Selena Gomez actually is responsible for the publishing of Calm Down Remix which gives her an upper hand on the royalty split..

In summary, the key difference between “featuring” and “and” is that “featuring” implies a guest appearance by one artist on another artist’s song, while “and” implies an equal collaboration between two or more artists on a song. Whether you’re an aspiring artist or just a music enthusiast, understanding the differences between “featuring” and “and” collaborations can help you appreciate the artistry and creativity behind each song.
