Songwriting and Composing

NOTE: BTS albums distribute their credits a little differently than many other K-pop albums.  Instead of showing who wrote lyrics, who composed the track, and who arranged it, it’s broken down into “writers” and “producers.” I assume that “writer” means someone who helped write lyrics and “producer” means someone who composed and/or arranged the song, but I do not have any definitive answer for that.
