A songwriter is an individual who writes the lyrics, melodies and chord progressions for songs, typically for a popular music genre such as rock or country music. A songwriter can also be called a composer, although the latter term tends to be used mainly for individuals from the classical music genre.

For example, a songwriter who excels at writing lyrics might be paired with a songwriter with a gift for creating original melodies.
