No! Word Music and EMI Christian Music Publishing print or record hundreds of songs that they do not own or control. There is a difference between a song that is "printed" in a Word or EMI book and a song that is owned by Word or EMI. The best way to determine who owns or controls a song is to look at the copyright notice for that song.

Copyright notices are usually located on the first page of the song. For all Word and EMI copyrighted songs, the copyright line will contain either Word Music, EMI Christian Music Publishing, or admin. by Word Music or EMI Christian Music Publishing.

To contact us regarding permission to use one of these copyrights, please use the request form on our website or e-mail your requests to us. For all Word Music copyrights, send your request to our Word email address. Requests for EMI Christian Music copyrights should be sent to our EMI email address. For information on finding the administrator for songs that are not under our administration, please see FAQ question 26.
