At some stage in the process the artist, or a topline writer, will add melody and lyrics. This is passed on to someone else who adds another musical bit, and so on. These days the most common approach to writing pop, R&B, and hip-hop tracks is that someone comes up with a ‘beat,’ usually a combination of a drum pattern with some characteristic, hooky musical ingredient, which can be a sample, a chord sequence, or a melody.

The reason is that DAWs allow users to send each other files and work on them at the press of a button, with a crucial bit of help from that other bit of modern technology, the Internet. Strangely, the total opposite has happened, in the pop/R&B genre at least, where songs are credited to ever-lengthening lists of song writers. The 1990s saw the rise of the DAW, which seemed tailor-made to create whole swatches of one-man bands and should have heralded an era of bedroom songwriters flooding the world with each song written, recorded and arranged by a single individual. This led to longer song writing credits as both the creators of the original sample and of the new work had to be credited. The introduction of drum machines and samplers in the 1980s allowed non-musicians to write music, and to sample and/or reconstruct existing songs. However, it appears that with each development in music technology this number has gone up.

As a general rule, songs were written by one or two people. Once upon a time-well, it does seem like an alternate universe these days-people wrote songs with pen & paper, and a guitar or a piano.
