What is the difference between these two credits on a song: “Song by Joe Doe” vs. “Songwriters: Mike Moe and Larry Loe”? Is the former the singer, perhaps? …and the latter the lyricists?
Lyrics + music. IMO
Can you give us some examples of “song by” as a credit? I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen “music by” and “lyrics by” but never song by.
I, too, would like some context/examples. Are these both on the same song? Or are you seeing them in different places?
