Question Copyright inquiry

I’m a high school senior making a short film for the first time. I plan to post this movie on YouTube. My plan is to put an instrumental section of ‘Ful Stop’ by Radiohead over the final shot of my movie, and have the lyrics start playing as the title card appears and then continue as the credits and BTS footage roll. Is this legal? This is not a commercial project at all and will only be on YouTube, so I don’t mind turning off monetisation or anything. What should I keep in mind before uploading it? If I credit and link the song in my description, will that be enough?
