Firstly, Smoke Hour puts excerpts of like 8 different country songs so that's pretty much most likely who is being credited.

People really need to understand how the industry (and beyoncé specifically) works. actually the reason she always has the most people credited is because (shocker) she actually credits everyone she works with, no matter how big or small their contribution. (like dolly saying 10 words on dolly p = her getting a songwriter credit).

then add to that the fact that beyoncé is a musical scientist, who works with teams of people to fulfil her vision and chops up and reassembles things together (e.g. for the first song the people who built the intro/outro with her are probably different from the ones who worked on the main melody and someone else probably contributed the "l-l-l-l-looka dere"). she's not taylor swift, who writes one song from start to finish on her banjo or whatever, she's a visionary artist who has a vision, hires the best in the biz to work on it with her, and creates a final product that defies expectation. a lot of people she worked with shed light on the process, she sometimes has songwriter camps when she invites lots of people to write songs, takes the chorus from A, the verse from B, writes the bridge herself, changes lyrics here and there... like a director, she may not be individually working on every single part (because considering how ambitious it is, it would be impossible, she would need to master songwriting across each different genre she wants to do... why not just work with the best and get them to kickstart your vision?), but she does tie it all together and knows exactly what she wants. Sheesh, it's like saying Christopher Nolan didn't work on Oppenheimer because there are hundreds of production crew helping create the film... At the end of the day it's still a Chris Nolan film, his ideas, his vision. It's exactly the same thing here.

I heard that she's like the head Satanist and she just doesn't wanna credit Satan until the world is ready
