When you're writing a song, how do you know it isn't just a song you've heard before but don't recognise? (infosec.pub)

I'm currently in the process of writing a song. I've got a tune and I'm putting the lyrics together but I'm always concerned that any tune I think of might just be another song I've heard somewhere randomly that I don't remember hearing.

Do I just have a shitty memory or is this a problem that other people have too?

It might be similar to a song you've heard but you're misremembering the notes of the existing song.

Maybe try playing it for an app that recognizes the song that's playing and then listen to any songs it guesses might be the song.
