Covers.

i everyone.
I have a question. When the listings ask for covers of popular songs, is the publisher taking care of the royalties for the original writer in most cases? If you keep all ownership of the master (no publisher) what do we have to look after? Im talking current not public domain obviously. Is it our responsibility to contact the listed publisher for the song? Seems to me if revenue is earned from the song the original copyright comes into play. Ive never submitted covers before. Forgive me if this was addressed in the past. Im new here.
Thanks ahead if anyone can shed some light.
