Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for What Took You So Long?
Description	Audio sample from "What Took You So Long?" (album version) by Emma Bunton
Source	Sample from A Girl Like Me Artist: Emma Bunton Songwriter(s): Emma Bunton, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Martin Harrington, John Themis, Dave Morgan Producer(s): Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher Label: Virgin Records Copyright: © 2001 Virgin Records
Article	What Took You So Long?
Portion used	24 seconds (<10% of original 3:59)
Low resolution?	The sample is of reduced quality (and/or timespan) compared to the original, yet of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for 'unauthorised distribution' or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original recording.
Purpose of use	It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's instrumentation, arrangement, and Bunton's vocals during the chorus.
Replaceable?	As a sample from a copyright musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
