I could’ve sworn his name was not credited this many times when the album first dropped last year

regardless, my biggest question is what and why? Is Michael genuinely a lyricist/musician? What is his contribution?

Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga”

Gaga wanted to call it Michael's Beast and he abashedly changed it to The Beast :neyde:

He told her “babe, I think that you should add “baby” here”

And she replied “Omg Michael you are so talented”

Basically how Beyonce is getting her credits and acclaim.

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

Same thing with RedOne and Bad Romance. Gaga loves handing writing credits like candy.

You have to give credit otherwise you will get sued. Some artists work with a small team (so themselves and 1-3 producers who end up receiving credit as well). Others have writing camps (teams of 10-20+ people writing material, submitting to the artist, and then repeating until the artist likes/has enough material).

Yeah, I'm surprised you missed it, it was very controversial and part of the "blah blah he's controlling her" narrative.

Anyway, he said himself that he didn't feel that he deserved the credit because very often, she's just inspired by something he said and she turns it into lyrics.

I’m sure she’s said over multiple interviews he gave lyrical suggestions, structural suggestions and other ideas. He was always in the studio with her during the making of the album.
