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.

Found this: http://www.idolator.com/7659080/songwriter-profile-jacob-kasher-interview

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.

Seems like jonback svidden are part of galantis too, I don't understand when co writers and co producers take part in all the songs and don't become something more, John shanks after producing for bon Jovi for 10 years he became the bassist of the band. Here both are credited before Eklow, as always.

She clearly did that song for the joy of it and not for the money. It's the song with the most credits that I have seen.

Sounds like they did two separate songs and then were poorly mixed together.

Very nice song.
I always believe that songs with an army of songwriters is due to samples, but without reading the context is very difficult to find out.

What a waste of a team, Magnus doesn't get tired of experimenting with FX.

EDIT: Seems to be a sample of Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld, which makes it even weirder because I can't hear it at all.
