SONGS WRITTEN BY ANOTHER SINGER SURVIVOR
ello, and welcome to another quirkily themed survivor from myself;
This one we are looking at songs that were written/co-written by a singer-songwriter with their own musical body of work, but written for/given to / made famous by another artist. Many of the songs in question could have easily been released by the writer themselves (and in some of these picks they did release their own version in some form or another).
Ill post a starter list of some more obvious ones that come to mind plus a few of my own picks and we can open it up for additions to a sizable number. For now there's no limit of songs written by a specific artist, unless the list starts becoming heavily stacked later on I suppose. I've also attempted to avoid tracks that had a lot of different hands on (i.e Ed Sheeran on 'Cold Water') , some including the eventual singer themselves (Christina Milian had a hand in writing Justin Bieber's 'Baby' alongside Justin himself and Ludacris who also appeared on the song).
