If there's something in the filename that likens it to a commercial release, even if the name just happens to be similar, it gets deleted. They're looking for people uploading these releases, not necessarily covers though it's still technically copyright infringement. If it's just a single song, the solution is to just use soundcloud or something. Mediafire is unreliable for hosting your own music.

Descriptive song titles have been your undoing. I hope you've learned your lesson (If you had titled it Last Xmas you probably would have got away with it)!
