@Holy_Simpson yes you can use "publish." in this case, there's hardly a suitable synonym for "publish," but you can use phrasal verbs like "put out" or "launched" in this case, or "release."

it sounds a little odd to say publish, which is usually for works like books, articles and journals.
I'd say, "put out a new song". or "launched a new song".

Publish is acceptable, but I agree with others that there might be better options. “She released her song online” sounds more natural.

I know in Spanish “post” is “publicar” (another word for “publish”) so maybe post is the word you’re looking for? Release is also a word people use for putting out songs...

@myczxr @ulos12 @argxenta @Irn @jamesavery98 Thank you for your feedback! I didn't come up with these words despite the word "release" is usually used even in Japanese. It's hard to choose the best answer, so I just want to choose @myczxr for his/her first response.
