Fernando: Gaga often writes 100%, and still shares credit
Quote:
THR: She’s credited as a co-writer on most songs from Born This Way, what percentage of the songwriting would you say she’s responsible for?
Garibay: She doesn't need anyone to write a hit song. A lot of times, it’s 100% her. She's generous enough to give the producers who worked on this album a percentage of the songwriting for the production and whatever contributions we gave in arrangement or a few lyrical suggestions here and there.
Imagine if this was 1998 through 2004, we're probably looking at maybe five to six million copies. It’s where we're at with the economy and the state of the music business, so if we could even get to a million, it's like, “Wow, what a place to be.”
