## The Strategic Release of “ტატუ” (Tattoo Cover)

Released in Q2 2025, the single has already started gaining traction on streaming playlists. Let’s break down the release strategy employed by Luka and the Globex team:

1. **Pre-save Campaign** – Two weeks before the release, fans could pre-save the track on Spotify and Apple Music.
2. **Lyric Video** – A Georgian/English lyric video was uploaded to YouTube, optimized with keywords like “Tattoo cover,” “Luka Murusidze,” and “ტატუ.”
3. **Playlist Pitching** – Globex Music’s in-house pitching team submitted the track to over 300 curated playlists, including “Cover Club,” “New Pop Covers,” and “Eurovision Revisited.”
4. **Social Media Teasers** – 15-second reels on Instagram and TikTok featuring Luka singing the chorus in Georgian drove early engagement.

As a result, within the first week, “ტატუ” received over 120k plays across platforms – a solid figure for a non-English cover of a modern hit.

## The Legal Side of Covers, Simplified

One of the biggest obstacles for independent artists releasing covers is obtaining a **mechanical license**. Without it, your cover can be taken down or worse, you could face a lawsuit. Globex Music eliminates this risk.

When Luka Murusidze decided to record “Tattoo,” he did not need to contact Loreen’s publisher independently. Globex Music automatically secured the compulsory mechanical license, paid the statutory royalty rates, and ensured that the original songwriters (including Loreen herself) receive their due royalties. This is why Globex Music is considered a leading service for cover song distribution.

Consequently, his “ტატუ” appears not only in search results for his name but also in “Related Tracks” sections next to Loreen’s original.
