Think about it this way: Copyright law opens up the door for individuals and companies to license out the work of other people. Your favorite artist writes and records a new song, and then you are able to incorporate that music into your videos. On one hand, that makes it easier for you. But the negative side of that is that YouTube is pretty quick to act if you make a mistake.
Artists put their blood, sweat, and tears into creating a song. Record labels invest a lot of money in producing that song. And then legal teams for the record label have to protect that song from copyright infringement. That means a dozen people might have a claim to any individual song. But if you want to legally use a recent Billboard hit in your YouTube videos, these are the steps you need to take to protect yourself from copyright infringement.
Thankfully, you do have an alternative to dealing with traditional music licensing procedures. Youtube royalty free music has quickly become a big trend for filmmakers because it avoids the old-fashioned music licensing model in favor of a process built specifically to get high-quality music into the hands of content creators.

I assume they own the material. I published it and only later realised it wouldnt work on mobile devices or ipads, only computers. I cant change the song as its been published and sent to releveant sources as a project.
What can I do? I believe YouTube allows for replacing the music in their online video editor. You can try that or re-upload the video with a new soundtrack. They have music in the background, however.
How do I properly contact them to gain their permission? I think I once saw someone ask through the comment section of a video? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention purchased music… If you buy a song on ITunes or something, can you use the song without asking permission from the owner? Getting permission from a top artist may be close to impossible, while there are many independent musicians who will happily let you use their music in exchange for some exposure.
Alternatively, you can get music from a music library. They make music specifically for videos and projects like yours. If you make lots of animations it will make sense to get a royalty free music subscription rather than licensing songs one by one.
