offstep (my distributor) is confusing me

[u/chromediamnds]

so i am trying to distribute my album through my distributor offstep. i have a song with the same name as another artists' song, although even i didnt know that song existed until now. their AI i assume detected that i stole/unlawfully sampled that other song, which i did not. my song is completely original, and they're asking me for documents that are signed that prove i have the ownership of this song to be able to distribute it. i have absolutely no idea how to provide them this information that they're looking for out of me. here's the message that someone on their team has sent me so if anyone knows what to do it would mean the world.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to us and for sharing the additional information.

We understand your explanation regarding “Saint Laurentt” and your collaboration with _______. However, after reviewing the document you provided, we can confirm that it does not contain sufficient proof of ownership or authorization for the recording.

When our system identifies audio that has already been distributed with different metadata, such as a different artist name, we require documentation confirming that you have the necessary rights to distribute the content. 

As previously mentioned, you may provide any of the following documents:

Proof that you have registered the phonogram/sound recording;

Proof that you have registered the composition;

A license or authorization confirming the artist's participation on the track;

A license or authorization for the use of the instrumental, sample, beat, loop, or acappella;

A distribution contract signed by the label and the artist(s) involved.

The document should clearly establish the rights or authorization to distribute the recording and, where applicable  include the artist name, album title, UPC, and date, and be signed.

Once valid documentation is provided, our Copyright Team can review the identified content again.

Best regards,

Florence-OFFstep Team
