Can you copyright a song if you don't own the beat?

You can copyright a song if you don't exclusively own the beat, but it will be more difficult. The copyright office will look at a variety of factors to determine if the song is eligible for copyright protection, including how much originality the song contains. If you leased the beat and it's not your exclusive property, you should be able to prove that you contributed enough originality to the song to warrant copyright protection.
