You'd get a lawyer who would, after you've done all the paperwork, get
the song into the hands of a producer or artist's representative. A demo
is the usual means of submission, arranged and performed in a way that
the artist or producer would recognize that the song is a good fit.
There are agencies, Taxi is one example, who match songs with people who
are looking for them, but pitching a song to a particular artist out of
the blue is a very long shot unless you have a very well established
reputation with a publisher who knows who might be looking for a song
like yours.
Don't quit your day job.
Or you could put it on YouTube and hope it goes viral.
