Wouldn't it be better to have the song up on YouTube with the correct information about who wrote it attached?
There are any amount of songs that get wrongly attributed, often enough by accident.
If I hear a song I've not come across but is clearly a modern one rather than traditional, I am very likely to assume it was written by the person singing it, especially if I know they've written some songs. And then if I sing it I'll very likely say it's that person's song, in all good faith.
