Choosing a song and asking for permission

Over the holidays i had chosen a song that i thought would be good to make a music video to. This song was 'Here i am by Girlicious', Girlicious is an american girl band who are not that known in the UK and also do not have a music video to this song. When we come back to school we got put in our groups, the people that are in my group are David, Sean and Sallyanne, and out of the songs we all chose we thought that the song i picked would be a good song to work with and make a music video to.
Here is a screen grab of me asking for permission to uses the song to create a music video to:
