"Unfortunately, my new single 'Fan' has received a deletion notice from Sony because of my very clear references to the Beatles," Bill said, citing a statement posted on Instagram, Friday, February 7.

"This is a risk that I know and took when I uploaded the song. I want to explain the fact that I am not blindly using the Beatles song to draw attention to my music," he continued.

Bill said his love for the Beatles made him deliberately use the song 'Norwegian Wood' as a reference, for the Fandom and Beatlemania concepts - which are directly related to the content of the song.

"Algorithms and copyright laws obviously don't care about this, but it's for anyone who's wondering why I risk my music being removed," he said.

For the sake of the initial version of the song Teraebut still circulating, Bill is willing to give up all copyright or song credit.

"My team and I are currently trying hard to get permission for the song as it is, because I am very confident in maintaining music and art as it should be," said the 25-year-old singer.

With the initial version of the 'Fan' takendown, Bill presents a new version without any elements of 'Norwegian Wood' which is openly presented.

Untungnya, referensi saya tentang Norwegian Wood hanya mencakup beberapa kaliran dari lagu tersebut - dan saya dapat membuat versi sementara sehingga saya tidak perlu mengganggu suasana dance kamar Anda yang sepurna. Saya punya pilihan untuk menghapus lagu tersebut sepenuhnya, atau memberikan Anda versi sementara ini dan saya memilih opsi kedua, kata Bill.

"I am very sad about this - the song is no longer the same without these references. I apologize to the 'Fan' fans. With my greatest love and respect for The Beatles, I will continue to strive and make this version come true," he added.

At the end of his statement, Bill also delivered a message to Paul McCartney hoping the Beatles personnel read it.

Dan Paul McCartney, jika Anda membacakan ini, saya tahu The Beatles tidak membutuhkan promosi lagi, terutama dari artis kecil seperti saya, tetapi setidaknya saya tahu beberapa anak-anak dikenalkan dengan 'Norwegian Wood yang kebetulan belum pernah didengar sebelumnya, pungkasTE Bill.
