Adding a Song Title in your credits:

If you’d like to, you may replace the word “Music” with the title of the song you’re using. I usually put the song title in quotation marks. The subtitle in parentheses can (and should) be omitted. For example, the correct song title for “When Hope Rises” (Uplifting Inspiring Background Music) is just “When Hope Rises”, and the credit could be as follows:

“When Hope Rises” provided by Stock Music Links (stockmusiclinks.com)
