Why do many pop songs have so many different songwriters listed?

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?

Because it takes a mass amount of effort to ensure that a song will be popular to go along with the pretty face that they use to trick people into spending money. And also, it’s all of those writers jobs, so I each individual that had a hand in composing or writing the lyrics gets credit.
