Gaga: Bey, Brit
Katy: Britney, Nicki (if she counts)

Gaga sings on the remix though, and she sings the parts she wrote, so that's kind of her song as well. It's a little different from writing a song and giving it to someone else

Katy had vocals on Nicki's song until she wasn't available to promote, so there goes that credit for her. So I guess congrats to Katy and Gaga for writing for Britney.

Because all these pop girls are more talented than Katy, and they knew that to get a quick pop hit they needed to hop on one of Katy's generic but obvious pop smashes.

Interesting!

Also, both songs mentioned in the OP have multiple writers, so how do we know if Katy really wrote the songs or just contributed a small portion of them?

'Knees'

Maraj, Katy Perry, Chloe Angelides, Lukasz Gottwald, Sarah Hudson, Jacob Kasher, Hindlin, Henry Walter

'Passenger'

Spears, Thomas, Pentz, Furler, Andrew, Swanson, Katy Perry

So the whole "Katy wrote songs and gave them to another pop girl" thing doesn't make much sense.

The final version on the album didn't have her though so you're kind of reaching. I'm sure Katy recorded demos for all the songs she wrote so the ones singing it knew the melody. Was that bit about her being unavailable to promote confirmed by the way?

It's a shame writing smash pop hits?

1. I Do Not Hook Up – Kelly Clarkson
2. Longshot – Kelly Clarkson
3. Rock God – Selena Gomez & The Scene
4. That’s More Like it – Selena Gomez
5. Passenger – Britney Spears
6. Love is a Train – Ashley Tisdale
7. Bullet / Girl Next Door – Jessie James
8. Breakout – Miley Cyrus
9. Black Widow – Iggy Azalea
etc

Did you get this from that clevertv youtube video?

There's a variety of reasons:

Some main pop girls, like Britney, are not primarily writers. She has written a few of her own songs, but it makes sense that someone who is not primarily a song writer would not write songs for other people.

With artists like Christina and Mariah, they care more about their career than someone else's. They COULD write a bunch of hits to give away, but why do that when they can fully realize their personal vision for the amazing songs they write? Basically, they're true artists and not the used car saleswomen of pop music. They write to realize their own vision, not to sell their songs at a shady pawnshop/auction their music off to the person most likely to get a Grammy

And Gaga has written for other A-Listers.

Omg not people still in this thread

Katy wrote for 2 singers, that's all there is to this. It's not the biggest achievement ever but it's still cool

Passenger is a disgusting song. She should have kept it

But only one of those was any type of hit?

Good for her though, she's underrated as a songwriter

The fact that she's a writer on the song means she wrote them so...

Gurl first of all... smash hits
Second, she did NOT write Breakout. Driveway & Breakout are not written by Katy

It's one of the best songs in BJ, I'm sure Britney and her team made the best choice
