To enable me to do this I researched into who the label is that owns the song; I did this by searching 'I Know I'm Not The Only One' into google where I found a Wikipedia link to the song, on this page I found that the song is owned by Capitol Records.
I then did further research into Capitol Records to make sure that they did own the song which they did. I was unable to find contact information for Capitol Records through looking on their website and searching on Google. I found an email address for Capitol Records on http://www.discogs.com/label/654-Capitol-Records but when I attempted to sent a Copyright letter through the email it was unable to send as the email was incorrect.
I then researched further into Capitol Records and found that and found that their parent company is the Universal Music Group. I looked on their website to find contact information and an email that I could send a message to to request permission to use the song.

Under the frequently asked questions section I found an email I could use to ask permission; this email was communications@umusic.com
I sent an email to them asking permisson to use their song; below is the email I sent along with the response I received.
After receiving this email I followed the steps they provided on what to do next; this meant going onto the Universal Music Puplishing Group under the licensing tab then contact them via the email provided on the page to ask for permission.
To make sure that they are able to understand my request I added some more information to the first Copyright Letter I sent so that they can understand what it is I am going to do.
