Smother Em Eh 7,125 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does Cher write her own songs or is she one of those Artists who have their songs written for them? I don’t know much about her at all, so that’s why I am asking. I know Madge, Gaga, Katy, Taylor, Miley etc write their own music but I don’t know about Cher! So does she?

geopang 4,831 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Not really. She’s always seemed to be one of those singers that have everything written for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumours 45,521 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 She has been involved in co-writing a select few of her songs, but I wouldn't classify her as a "songwriter" per say. For example, she's been releasing commercial material for almost 55 years at this point, and here is an extensive list of the songs she has co-written/written over that entire time period: Spoiler Chastity's Sun Written by James Seals & Dash Crofts (Cher uncredited) My Song (Too Far Gone) Written by Cher & Mark Hudson Bad Love Written by Cher & Giorgio Moroder Don't Trust That Woman Written by Les Dudek & Cher Still Lyrics by Cher, music by Cher, Bruce Roberts & Bob Thiele Sisters Of Mercy Lyrics by Cher, additional lyrics by Pat MacDonald, music by Cher, Pat Macdonald & Bruce Roberts Runnin' Lyrics by Cher. Additional lyrics by Bruce Roberts, Music by Pat MacDonald & Bruce Roberts The Fall (Kurt's Blues) Lyrics by Cher. Additional lyrics by Bruce Roberts, Music by Pat MacDonald & Bruce Roberts With Or Without You Lyrics & music by Cher Fit To Fly Lyrics by Cher, music by Cher, Kevin Savigar & Doug Millett Believe Written by Brian Higgins, Paul Barry, Steven Torch, Matthew Gray, Stuart McLennen & Timothy Powell (Cher uncredited) Lovers Forever Written by Cher & Shirley Eikhard Take It Like A Man Written by Tim Powell, Tebey Ottoh, Mary Leay & Cher Dressed To Kill Written by Mark Taylor, Sam Preston & Cher Source: https://chernews.blogspot.com/2017/01/a-look-at-songs-written-by-cher.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poissonche 12,365 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 She wrote some songs in her discography, but that's probably 5% or less of her whole discography. She mostly sings what she gets sent. However, in my opinion, her best album is not.com.mercial, on which she wrote all the songs but one. I also read somewhere that she had written some songs for her 1979 album Take Me Home, but that she had gone Gaga and scrapped them, being not confident enough. I feel like she can write songs, but she just doesn't do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Madonna's Open Your Heart lists Madonna as the main songwriter--but all she did was change the demo's lyric "Follow your heart" to "Open your heart" (a small, but perhaps crucial, change)...

River 116,528 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If you compare her tweets to her lyrics you will see that she's not a songwriter So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Not really. And it's not something no one talks about, she has spoken about her songwriters and how much she enjoys (or not) the songs she sings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
