For the best possible listener experience, it is your responsibility to be knowledgable about local regulations and cultural sensitivities, and appropriately mark your content accurately in all countries. Apple Music may request a change to meet Apple Music standards.
6.1. Explicit Content Flagging. Explicit content must be flagged Explicit with a parental advisory tag. Terms like (Explicit), “(Explicit Version),” “(Dirty),” or “(Dirty Version)” must not be used for album, ringtone, or track titles.
6.2. Clean Version Flagging. Clean versions of audio content with an available explicit version must be flagged Clean to prevent customers from accidentally purchasing the clean version. Only flag tracks as Clean if there is a corresponding explicit version of the track.
Note: Terms like “(Clean),” “(Clean Version),” “(Edited),” or “(Edited Version)” must not be used for album, ringtone, or track titles.
6.3. Censoring Words. Album and track titles must be submitted in the original form that was intended by the artist. Explicit words are automatically censored on Apple Music and the iTunes Store (for example, F**k). Do not insert the asterisks yourself. Submitting titles and artist names with self censoring or asterisks affects listeners’ ability to search for and find the content they’re looking for.
