Even the 7" doesn't list a song writer (the B-Sides Bed Of Roses does...which seems strange)
The Crush album, as released, had no writing credits at all. Hell, it had no lyrics!

This is not about the album, this is about who is LEGALLY entered as having written the song. You can just opt not to print writing credits, sure, but you can't just change the legal information. Unless they had signed such a deal upfront, that they would not be credited. But why would Richie be credited then? Wiki just lists JBJ and these two guys.

I also remember Bob Rock being credited on a track on the Crush album. Never read that again. The writing credits for Crush are weird and disjointed, probably because they resulted from the songs having been written on a ton of occasions (two solo albums plus the writing period just for the "band album").

All the singles to follow up until Who Says were somewhere in that beaten pattern - Everyday and Have A Nice Day rehashed the IML theme and structure,
If anything, Everyday sounds like N'SYNC's "Bye Bye Bye".

All About Lovin' You was once again forced onto the album by the record company.
We know this because...? It's not a track that I don't see the band doing and merely HAVING to do because of the label. Speculation on this board is not the same as "that's how it was".
