Would You Credit It! Diane's Writers Rap

Song-writing legend Diane Warren has written some of the biggest singles ever – but she’s not happy with the way modern pop tunes are created.

She wrote classics including Unbreak My Heart for Toni Braxton and How Do I Live for LeAnn Rimes. She’s also penned smashes for Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga.

Hitting out at today’s pop trends, Diane told me: “You have 10 writers on a song now.

“I look at the credits and think: ‘What the f*** did you guys all do? Why isn’t this song 10 times better?’

“Prince, by himself, wrote songs 10 times better than these songs where everyone in the room gets a writer’s credit.”
