I see so many songs with 3-5 or more listed in the credits. I always thought sometimes one person wrote music, and another wrote lyrics. Why can it take around 5 people to write a song?

Someone goes “hey how about instead of ‘filling with your endless love’ you say ‘filling with your thrilling love’?”
Bang. Can’t deny their input. That’s a songwriting credit. They’ll get a smaller slice of the pie but the list of names doesn’t denote who wrote how much. Sometimes every writer did a couplet or a section. Sometimes one wrote 90% completely, one edited in 10%, and two negotiated songwriting credits in their contract so they were allowed to sit in on the session.
