I believe the answer is:

release

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'free' is the first definition.
(to release someone is to free them)

'recording?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for release that I've seen before include "Free from confinement" , "Possibly film" , "put out" , "Prisoner eagerly awaits this" , "record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
