    I was curious if there was an industry reason why people don’t believe she participates in writing her songs, since I don’t know much about her or the industry.

    The conversation here is interesting, and now I know very slightly more than I did! I do still feel like if she added one word to all of those songs, she’s written at least one total song, haha. Plus the stuff that’s more personal.

    edit: i meant to say i genuinely appreciate your response

      There’s a guy who has writing credit on “Uptown Funk” because he came up with one line “Don’t believe me? Just watch!” which is the hook. Sometimes that little contribution is what makes it work
