It's Dan + Shay #MusicMonday: Songs that the duo did not write. Which one is your favorite? Please let me know in my poll!

Happy #MusicMonday to all of my wonderful blog and social media followers! ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽต 

Did you know that Dan + Shay wrote the majority of the songs on their first five studio albums? On some of their previous songs like "Save Me The Trouble" and "From The Ground Up", Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney both had a hand in writing them alongside some other talented Nashville songwriters.  However, when it came to the duos latest number one "Bigger Houses", Smyers was a co-writer with his songwriting friends Andy Albert and Jordan Minton. And when it came to the duos song "My Side Of The Fence" (from their 2018 self-titled album), Mooney was a co-writer with his songwriting friend Benjy Davis. I can always feel Dan + Shay's hearts and souls in each song that they did write, from the lyrics to the production, and beyond.

While at least one member of the duo or both of them have had a hand in writing the majority of their songs, there are a few of them scattered on their second, third, and fifth albums that they did not pen. Even though they did not write them, it sure feels like they did. Listening to these songs over the years, I could tell that Dan + Shay spent a lot time picking songs that they could relate to and make their own. 

Stay tuned for future posts with details about each of these unique tracks, including the incredibly, talented songwriters who penned them!
