Demo….when a songwriter writes a song and records it as a DEMONSTRATION so the person who picks the song up can get the idea of how the song goes. Come on, people.

@@DeiHarper9361 umbrella too? There are artists who are writers. Like Cyhi has written for Kanye, and Travis Scott(sicko mode) to name a few. However, he’s hardly known even from his own music. I think the Dream is a writer first, and artist second. He hasn’t released that much material of his own. The Shawty is a 10 project is about the only one other than Terius Nash that I know of 🤷🏽♂️

The tune was penned by long-time collaborator The-Dream and was a contender for his third album, Love King. The R&B songwriter and producer's previous contributions to Beyoncé singles include credits for her girl-power anthems "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and "Run The World (Girls)." The-Dream penned this song during a time when his own marriage to singer Christina Milian was disintegrating. Speaking with UK newspaper The Guardian, the songwriter acknowledged the paradox that he is able to write so convincingly from a female perspective whilst hopeless in his own relationships with women. "I know how a woman thinks," he said, "that doesn't mean that I agree with it." The-Dream revealed that it was his label boss L.A. Reid who made the call not to include the track on his Love vs. Money album. "L.A. Reid said he didn't like it so we took it off," The-Dream said on the video conversation series Genius Level. "So to say '1 + 1' had been forgotten by me, that's the truth. I forgot it. I forgot it was there. It was just there on the hard drive floating there amongst the rest of the seas of songs. Because at that point it was: if I wasn't going to sing it, I wasn't going to give it to someone else because I didn't think anyone else could sing it." It was Roc Nation's Chaka Pilgrim who reminded The-Dream about the song a few years later. Pilgrim suggested that he play it for Beyoncé, and the rest is history.

@breybrey2dajizzay and, sometimes artists purchase music publishing rights. Basically the way it works for Beyonce is this: Beyonce promotes the songwriters song to the highest degree, and in return, she gets to say that she "wrote" the song. So the songwriter essentially chooses between obscurity for his/her work versus having his/her work heard, getting more money for it, but getting little recognition for it.
