In the music industry, a prerelease cover version is a type of cover version that arose during the "iTunes era" of the early 2010s when a cover artist released a version of a song before the original artist does. This practise took advantage of a 'release window'; it occurred when an upcoming song receives much airplay despite not yet having been released.
