Should all soloists write their own lyrics? (1 Viewer)

If the company lets them ofc but if they have freedom to write their own lyrics do you think they should write at least 1 song per album?

I think when idols go solo they should write at least 1 song per album. If it's a full album maybe 2 or 3?

Even if someone is not that good in writing lyrics I think 1 song wouldn't be too much to ask for. What do you think?

I used to care only about me liking someone's voice. Like if a song is a bop I'll love it.

But later on I started to appreciate songs that were written by idols much more and I ended loving them more even if songs weren't that addictive.

I think that the coolest thing you can do as soloist is telling your story through their music.

It's like even if 1 song on the album that was written by idol is not a bop people will still appreciate it.

Well I like artistry and artists expressing themselves with music, but I don't think it's something required? Not everyone is skilled like that. Same with groups for me.

I dont see why anyone should dictate what an idol does, if they want to write their own stuff, great, but I dont see an issue with them choosing not to. Some might chose to express their artistry through their choreography, or maybe they just want to be able to be the center of attention, who knows.

I appreciate when idols write their own songs, but not every one of them can be a songwriter and it's okay. Be a group or a soloist I think this way.

There is no issue I just wonder sometimes how they would express themselves in songs even if it was just 1 song per album.

it‘s s tricky question to answer. Since I am into Korean Hip Hop I am used to the rappers writing their own lyrics and letting out their own thoughts. I do think a real rapper at least needs to write their own lyrics since that is their craft to begin with. Normal soloists are another story. In the american music scene not everyone is writing their own lyrics so that makes me think that for singers it‘s not necessary

I don't think it's a must for an artist, it can make the song more personal but if they'd rather let others write their songs then I think that's fine. It doesn't make me like the song less if they don't write their own lyrics.

Yeah, it's not. I just like seeing when they do write lyrics. (Like Sunmi's songs are much better than Teddy's imo) and I'm so happy she wrote her lyrics (+someone else but I forgot who) I see many people being happy that she didn't have a comeback with Teddy's song.

Teddy's songs are good don't get me wrong. Buuut I like her songs more

for me it‘s different lol. I loved her first stuff and Gashina. But Heroine and Siren were not to my liking. I do appreciate her doing her own thing.
