It's always better to inform the original singer or producer of the work that you want to use their work. Some of them really don't like it when people use their work without notifying them beforehand (aka reposting and the sorts). Most of the time they are going to give you the green light anyways. It would be totally unfair for them if they didn't at least know that their work is being used elsewhere no?

td:lr better safe than sorry and ask the person in question if it's okay to use their work
