A "cover song" is a track that has been recorded or performed by an artist who did not write or create the original version. There are several synonyms for this term, such as cover version, remake, interpretation, or tribute. Some may also refer to it as a rendition, arrangement, or adaptation. The concept of covering another artist's work is not uncommon in the music industry, with many popular songs originating from a cover version of a lesser-known or older track. People perform cover songs for various reasons, such as paying homage to established musicians, incorporating their unique sound or style, or introducing an old classic to a new audience.
