Where did you get this from? There's no such thing as credit for lead writer.

She is listed first on the writers credits of the album. Literally on every track. 

[toxicgenie]

I believe Miley.

She's real and slipped in revealing this, but is anyone shocked? Everyone that follows music and artists knows the patterns with Beys writing credits.

well yes

she could have bought the song off ryan tedder without a miley collab, but you all just like to act dumb when it comes to Beyoncé

Neither option has any artistic value whatsoever  

[Archetype]

This happens with every Bey album, you'd think she'd learn to stop doing this by now  

 

Super disappointing because it's clearly the best song off the album, and now we know she had little to do with it.

Why do all these people always say "I wrote this song" and not "Beyonce and I wrote that song" ? Can't they at least acknowledge her part in writing the song ?

What part? Some ad libs and harmonies? A word her or there? The original demo is almost identical to the finished song. If Miley wrote the majority of the song herself she has a right to let everyone know

The way none of y'll actually read the OP  

 

So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship

=> Beyonce reached out for collabs, and Miley offered this song

 

And there's absolutely no shade detected in the whole interview

They're listed in alphabetical order. Beyoncé Giselle-Knowles Carter.

[toxicgenie]

Something subtle I also noticed is that Bey plagiarized the "Been Country" idea that Miley explained to Bey first.

PSA: writing credits on streaming platforms are usually in alphabetical order, not in terms of who wrote the most.

 

For example in my latest single I have 95% of the split, but my name is second on Spotify because it's in alphabetical order.

 

iconic promo, I am listening 

[Hunter_13]

This isn't shocking to learn. 

[KingBeyonce.]

I'm screaming because what's so shady or shocking about this?  Almost all of the artists we discuss on this site have songs that started as demos or collabs that started as solo songs presented to them. It's not like Beyonce went on IG and said "I wrote II Most Wanted 100% by myself in my room and all the words came from me" or something. If that was the case, she'd be the only credited songwriter which she isn't and basically never is (just like 90% of singers), right? So again what's such a kii? 

[bielneira]

Doesn't Beyoncé have songwriting credits on that song?

 

[Where are you now?]

This is not a good look at all for Bey. Has this woman legit ever written a song herself (lyrics / instrumentation)? If you're not talented enough to write your own songs it's fine... plenty of artists don't. But at least OWN up to it, don't just stamp your name on every single song under the writing credits! 

[seancarter]

this is not surprising ... the writing literally sounds like miley's writing style.. it's giving very much younger now era. 

[B-Luke]

Eh not a fan of the song, checks out that Miley wrote it. I enjoy Bey penned tracks way more.

Wait, Miley WROTE the song and now she shares the writing credits? 

 

How different was it from the final version? 

Being listed first doesn't mean you contributed the most to the song or get the largest publishing split.

 

The split for II Most Wanted is as follows:

Miley Cyrus - 28.4

Beyoncé - 15

Michael Pollack - 28.3

Ryan Tedder - 28.3

Stop with the bs, you either don't know the alphabet or you're just trolling

[toxicgenie]

If Beyonce takes credit cuts from an A-lister like Miley it's much worse for the B-listers and little people she works with that's the main takeaway. 

[visions]

I think people have their mind warped by stan world cos she's just giving background on a song she did lol and is probably proud of. It's not intended shade to Beyoncé

She's credited as the sole lyricist of "Church Girl"

 

Dre, one half of the production duo Cool & Dre, told Billboard. "She put her mind to the music and did her thing. If she had a melody idea, she came up with the words. If we had the words, she came up with the melody. She's a beast."

 

Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote "Halo," told Gig Wise of his experience working alongside Beyoncé: "She does stuff on any given song that, when you go from the demo to the final version, takes it to another level that you never would have thought of as the writer. For instance, on 'Halo,' that bridge on her version is completely different to my original one. Basically, she came in, ditched that, edited it, did her vocal thing on it, and now it's become one of my favorite parts of the song. The whole melody, she wrote it spontaneously in the studio. So her credit on that song stems from that."

 

Educate yourself

I don't your ire? I highlighted those letters because the credits go in the order of either the first or last name. Usually the first.

Not clocking, I enjoy the song and a lot of songs off CC! But a lot of stans don't know how publishing works and my job is in that area so always happy to inform
