Viral TikTok song ‘I Run’ “confirmed” AI & it’s been removed from Spotify

A song called “I Run” recently went viral on TikTok, with many listeners comparing its sound to that of Jorja Smith. However, it’s now been revealed – and subsequently removed from Spotify – that the song was created using artificial intelligence.

Over the past year, artificial intelligence, or AI, has created a lot of uncertainty in the music world. We’re seeing AI-created songs flood platforms like Spotify, and even “artists” powered by AI signing major record contracts, which is discouraging for human musicians.

Many AI-created songs are gaining traction on TikTok, often because people disguise them under different artist names. This sparks curiosity in the comments, prompting listeners to search for the original song.

TikTok user Haydencoh believes the popular song “I Run” by Haven was created using artificial intelligence. He’s shared several videos explaining his theory, arguing that the song, which appears frequently on his TikTok feed, isn’t actually by Jorja Smith as some people think.

TikToker ‘confirms’ ‘I Run’ hit song is AI amid claims

Jorja Smith had previously stated she didn’t sing on the song, something the TikTok user had already shown in a video.

Hayden recently shared that the song was made using Suno, an AI music generator that’s been the subject of debate. The female vocals in the track were created by AI, even though real producers worked on the mixing and final touches. It appears AI played the central role in creating the song.

He definitively stated that the song’s vocals were created using AI, confirming it after a thorough analysis.

So, the song’s totally gone from Spotify and Apple Music now. Spotify even told the Daily Mail that the artist didn’t earn any money from it, which is pretty crazy.

Spotify doesn’t allow anyone to pretend to be an artist. They detected this track was an impersonation, so they removed it and didn’t pay any royalties for the streams it received.

You can still listen to the song on YouTube and TikTok, but it’s not currently available on most streaming services—at least, not the original version.

Spotify searches now show Kaitlin Aragon as a featured artist on the track. She’s released a version featuring vocals originally popular on TikTok, and some believe she wasn’t previously given proper credit. This has led to discussions about potential copyright issues raised by Spotify and others.

So, I’ve noticed a lot of AI-generated songs popping up online, and it’s kinda weird – some even sound like artists who are no longer with us. It’s been taking the streaming services a while to catch these and pull them down, which is a bit concerning.
