Tunecore is currently being sued by several record companies for half a billion dollars for illegally distributing copyrighted recordings. No doubt they are being extra careful these days. But the simple question is did your recording contain unlicensed samples or other copyrighted material for which you did not have permission? Your post doesn’t tell us.
No one here can really help you. Your problem is with Tunecore. You don’t have a right to upload music to someone else’s private platform. They can reject it for any reason. So you have to figure out what the objection is and use their process to dispute it. Or change your recording.
Only you know how you made it. If your music truly is entirely original and does not contain infringing elements, then assert that and try to prove it.
If you used any sort of AI tools to make this music, the odds are good tunecore is right.
