On January 16, Deng Ziqi's former management company Hummingbird Music issued a copyright statement on the relevant songs, and then deleted the article. Now the company has re-issued a copyright statement, sparking heated discussions.
declares as follows:
Our company (Hummingbird Music Co., Ltd.) is the exclusive owner of the recording, lyrics and music copyrights of the musical works listed below, and has the right to license the aforementioned musical works to relevant institutions or organizations for various commercial or non-commercial purposes worldwide. Exclusive rights for personal use.
Without the permission of our company, any unit or individual is prohibited from using the musical works listed below for cover, reproduction, performance, network dissemination and other commercial purposes.

It is reported that the statement contains Deng Ziqi's music before 2019, including "Bubble", "Sleeping Princess", "a.i.n.y. (Love You)", "My Secret", "Together No matter how far away" and other popular songs.
Information shows that in 2014, Hummingbird Music registered the stage name "Deng Ziqi" as a trademark. In 2019, Deng Ziqi announced the termination of her contract with her former agency Hummingbird Music.
Hummingbird CEO Zhang Dan once replied to the media: "The main reason why the company registered Deng Ziqi's name is to prevent piracy. I hope the outside world will not make too many speculations."
In March 2019, Deng Ziqi set up his own personal studio. Deng Ziqi composed a song called "Period", which is considered to be Deng Ziqi's journey away from Hummingbird Music.
In 2023, Deng Ziqi published an article saying that the song he wrote while crying can now be sung with a smile.
