Is it considered copyright if I used inspiration from a song that wasn’t ever released officially or finished but used only once for a tv episode?

Pls don’t answer if you’re just gonna say I don't know or act stupid. Is it considered copyright if i used inspiration from a song that wasn’t ever released officially or finished but was used/made only once for a tv episode?

Probably not, though it depends what you mean by inspirational. If you've manipulated the song (tempo/lyrics/base) enough then you're Probably good to go. The fact you used the word inspiration makes me feel like you've done a lot of manipulation to the original anyway?

Kind regards,
