 Considering the amount of writers for a song, i better not get lyrics like yummy, Katy hunty

I thought there would some Max Martin touch on any of those. She mentioned it on one of her Sunday talks

When I don’t see Max Martin or his Team of people names on the credits!

Max Martin is over. He was early 2010's. We've evolved. 

Have you heard his work on TU,N? He still makes amazing bops

He definitely still has some good stuff, I didn't realize he was all over Taylor's reputation album. But he isn't cranking out the hits like he used to. At least IMO. "bad idea" is a bop though.

Yeah I definitely disagree. The only way for Max Martin to ever actually be "over" is for him to die. He may not have many hits at the moment, but he'll come back strong in 2021. I guarantee it.

Oof. Just saw he was credited on several of Britney's albums  

[AmorProhibido]

I literally don't understand why some songs have so many songwriters. Like do y'all just each write a verse or some clown s.hit like that?  I know some songs give songwriting credits to the artist when they didn't actually contribute, but this is definitely not the case. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of needing so many people for one song.

You didn't know?!?  He's one of the main reasons for her success... he's the reason for the baby voice...

I find it so weird when there are 7-9 writers on a song.  Like are they writing it by going in a circle and just saying one word each and adding on?

Same here! I wouldnt credit myself for putting a coma on a song

Which is definitely happening in some cases throughout the years

You better edit this h0e 

[redacted statement]

3 of the writers on "Smile" and 3 of the writers on "NRO" are credited because of samples. Even then, 6 writers is still a lot, though, but whatever... 

[Spicechinodiva]

Welcome to songwriting camps.

 

You work with probably one or two,and they found a way to legally include all members in their camp, to get paid in royalties despite not working on the song.

 

Cheating, yes but loyalty should be admired

I find it incredibly annoying when people here incessantly come for Katy, but they were so offended about her making the “Have not shaved my head ” comment. They dont want anyone to participate in any bullying against Britney , but they, themselves are the epitome of bullies. Can we just support pop stars and recognize they are humans and make mistakes like everyone else?  It’s legit gross the amount of bullying displayed in this website.

Queen Rachel Farris explained this in her podcast interview the other day   She also exposed that Katy Perry met a certain producer at a hotel to "do what she had to do" to get put on
