this has happened to me too, i uploaded a backing track to YouTube and the content match algorithm flagged it as a copyright infringement. it was a match of some obscure song that I couldn't even find on the internet...

very annoying. i changed the key, changed some chords, changed the tempo and re-uploaded, this time without issues.

my guess is somebody previously created a song using similar or same style, and then registered it as their own work. then they cash in whenever somebody uploads and shares a similar sounding track.
