it's same for all pop music. Its about evoking an image, having the proper cadence, looking marketable.
With that said not all pop artists who use ghost writers are talent less hacks. Look up the credits for your favorite-commercial or otherwise-artist. Chances are he/she/they didn't write the songs entirely on the own. It's a romanticized notion to think the music is just this pure, unfiltered personal expression.
It reminds me when all the hubbub about courtney love having her songs supposadly co written by kurt. They were married no **** he's going to help her creatively.
Look at the adverse criticism Kanye has received since he admittedly and supposedly stopped using ghost writers. He started calling black people the NEW SLAVES ffs. His production is stellar but i cannot **** with that dudes themes
