Do Miley Cirus or the Jonas Brothers write their own music?

Look at the credits on their albums. The songwriters are listed.

Miley Cyrus does write or at least co-writes many of her songs on her most recent albums (according to this). In the past her songs were written by others, including her dad a few times, and staff writers quite often. For example, the theme song for Hannah Montana is “The Best of Both Worlds” written by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil.

In terms of the Jonas Brothers, if you go to Wikipedia you will find a list of the Jonas Brothers’ songs with the writers. Many of the songs are indeed credited to the Jonas Brothers themselves, a few are credited to the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, many show shared credit between the Jonas Brothers and other writers, and some are written by someone else.

However, the problem with song credits is that they do not show who contributed what or how much. For example, while the Beatles existed as a group all songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, or John Lennon by himself, or Paul McCartney by himself, were credited to Lennon-McCartney.

I think it is safe to say that both Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers have written some of their own songs. Also that, as they all mature they will most likely write more and more of their own material.

Check out the wikipedia pages for Cyrus’ two albums.
She does take part in writing most of her songs, but I don’t see any written only by her.

I’m trying to look at the Jonas Brothers albums on wikipedia but they all redirect to Led Zeppelin albums. I don’t care enough to go to other websites.

depends on what you define as “music”.

No, because that would require talent.

lol @eponymoushipster and @J0E

Thanks for the answers everyone!

I’m surprised they can stand on their own two feet…

well they’re pretty awful songs so i guess there’s a possibility…
although somehow i still doubt it…

@Darwin : You either know everything already, or are the fastest researcher on Fluther. You always have a detailed answer and relatively quickly. Lurve for you Superwoman.

I let my kids think I know everything already, but actually as a curator in a city museum I learned to be a wicked fast researcher.

I think they really don’t…they’re probally in it for fame….but I think they’re music is not bad though..

It would take a bunch of under-age twerps to write such terrible songs…. so i’m guessing they at least have a hand in the process.

@Dr_C Have I told you how much I lurve you before?

@Tink1113 eight back at ya sweety

well i don’t know about all of their songs, but i think that the jonas brothers specialize in jacking songs from busted and taking away any awesome the original song may have had…

but i mean really, i don’t think it takes much talent to write most of the songs they write. so it’s not like it’s a far-fetched idea that miley and the jo hos may actually write their own material.

The Jonas Brothers do write (and co-write) their own songs, except for the ones that they covered. Miley Cyrus has people write her songs, but in her Breakout album she took part in writing.
I’m most impressed with Nick Jonas, the youngest, because he seems to be the mastermind behind their songs.
