That's because of sample clearance, most of the times.

Is not like 16 people write a song... the producers and every person involved gets songwriting credits to get some royalties.
People do not get paid in cash or receive advances.

I would call Once in a Lifetime a song with an army of songwriters, not because of the amount but the influence they all have on the industry.
Also it's a song that would happen Once in a Lifetime lol.

DJ Frank E using the same formula since forever, lol. It's hard not to love it though, it's interesting how a lot of producers evolve and Justin keeps doing the same thing over and over again.

Is there ever a case of too many cooks on a song?
Sometimes there are songs that have a lot of songwriters on it, but that doesn't mean they were all in the room. Sometimes, you'll have a song where let's say I'm in a room with two other writers and we're jamming around on guitar all day and we're kind of hitting a wall, so I pull up a beat loop and we write to it. That, all of a sudden, makes four people. But then you discover that three people made that loop, so that's six people. Oh, and then the artist wants to change a few words. That's seven people. And then the production's not quite right, so you get somebody to finish it. Now it's eight people.

If you really break it down, it's not like eight people were in a room making the song. There are so many different ways that that kind of cluster fuck can happen. But yeah, I don't do writing camps because I get really competitive and overwhelmed, especially when my friends are next door and I know they're really talented. I'd be so worried thinking, "Is my song better? Are they doing something I should be doing?" I like small, focused groups to bounce sounds with.
