Can backup singers get writing credits to now? Her social impact is incredible, making streaming farms everywhere and turning everyone into a song writer!

Miley, a songwriter of a generation 

[Bethenny Frankel]

its obvious miley wrote this song so I'm not shocked

[Kool_Aid_King]

The way y'all care so much about publishing, songwriting and using it as a gotcha moment when 100% of our faves are guilty of what you're accusing Beyoncé of.

 

we have no idea what the original sounded like & I guarantee (as everything) Beyoncé's version was TOTALLY different and warranted a credit.

 

as @Thugginpointed out, Bey has the lowest share anyway so… what's really the problem?

[Donquizote]

Beyonce stole from Miley? Not surprised

 

 

 

[Jay07]

Not expecting logic from the basement dwellers that spend their days tracking Beyonce streams on chartmasters but how does Miley writing the original demo mean Beyonce had nothing to do with the final product? There's additional people credited you know.

We actually do know. The demo surfaced a few weeks ago. It's exactly the same song. Bey only added the "I'd go wherever you take me" lyric from the bridge. That's all her songwriting input

Pathetic if it's true. But it's Beyonce. So I'm surprised.

No matter if you wrote the whole song or changed a line, you still get writing credits 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not though. The lyrics and melody are the same but production wise, the demo was more folksy and acoustic. The final product had more pop and country influences. 

I know you've been used to listening to the same song for years now TayDuaStan, but let's get the facts right!!  

[ericcartman]

Maybe she meant to take a production credit but accidentally took a writing too?

[FrederickGa]

Webeenknew Beyonce dont write her songs but takes credit anyway

But you don't get 15% share of songwriter just like that

It's pretty obvious she wants everything in her name not just for name sake but later on publishing deal too

 

That's why Rihanna is better , she doesn't take share from other artists for changing 1 line

How is it "obvious" user FolkLover1989? The music of the final song is completely different to the demo as well as the additional line. Do you know what happened in the studio and who deserves what? Do you think Miley Cyrus would allow Beyonce to steal her credits?

[Bookmark99]

I don't think Miley wrote it entirely herself either. Ryan Tedder and Michael Pollack are also credited.

Her fans always trying to defend the indefensible. She always has frauds associated with every single era. Either it's this, her media propaganda, reviewers licking her butt...and all of that for another era to be soon forgotten.

If the song appears on her album, which is released and published by HER label/company, then of course she's gonna get a publishing cut  

Rihanna has done the same, and even much worse, especially with ANTi.

If she helped with production (arranging, composing, etc (not saying she did, but IF she did)) then that would also be songwriting credits as well... they literally all intertwine with each other these days.

Alright so I just heard it and how can you say that it's exactly the same song? I get it, it's funny to drag Bey but be serious lol. The duet version sounds completely different.

 

and if that's "all she added", shouldn't she still be credited? I'm confused how adding lyrics to a song doesn't count as songwriting? Like what're we arguing here? There's also probably a plethora of instances where she doesn't get credited despite adding to lyrics. For example, Chloe Bailey said Beyoncé told her to add that outro to "Body Do" but Beyoncé isn't credited as a songwriter.
