Surprising singers who wrote hits for other celebrities will blow your mind
When we think of singers, we often assume they only write and perform their own hit songs.
However, the music industry is full of surprises, and some of the popular names in music have secretly penned songs for other celebrities, including singers or actors.
Here’s a list of famous singers who wrote hit songs for others and the shocking names will definitely blow your mind:
Selena Gomez’s ‘Lose You to Love Me’
Gomez's 2020 song is reported to be about her relationship with Justin Bieber, whom she dated from 2010 to 2018.
Then later it was also alleged that Bieber, who is now married to Hailey Bieber, wrote and sang Nothing Like Us and Sorry for Gomez, who recently tied the knot with Benny Blanco.
Katy Perry’s ‘Swish Swish’
Perry’s 2017 song was rumoured to be a response track to Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood.
The Dark Horse hitmaker then also revealed to James Corden during The Late Late Show’s Carpool karaoke segment that her response to Swift's song had her like, "OK, cool, cool, cool, that's how you want to deal with it? Karma!”
The Weeknd’s ‘Call Out My Name’
It is said that the Canadian singer wrote his 2018 song was a reference to his relationship with both Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez.
The Weeknd, who real name is Abel Tesfaye, reportedly via his track Wasted Times drew conclusions he's singing about Hadid, before comparing his relationship with her to his with Gomez.
Miley Cyrus ‘Flowers’
Her 2023 song is said to be for her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
Moreover, it is wildly believed Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball was also said to be about Hemsworth following their first split in 2013.
Mariah Carey’s ‘Obsessed’
There’s no hidden truth that Carey’s 2009 song is about Eminem.
The All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker was also called out in the rapper’s track, Bagpipes From Baghdad.
For the unversed, the Mariah Carey and Eminem feud is a decades-long conflict stemming from Eminem's claims that they had a romantic relationship, which Carey has consistently denied.
