It's totally possible he worked WITH the band and collaborated on songs but it's also totally possible, given the mess that was made of the issue on the last album, that the Swedish newspaper is spinning to story to give more credit to their hometown boys than is accurate. Just as Max Martin didn't write Its My Life FOR Bon Jovi, I wouldn't believe for a minute that Andreas Carlson wrote this song and produced the song FOR Bon Jovi. Besides the fact that Jon keeps telling everyone that Jon, Richie and Luke Ebbin are producing this album, Jon and Richie are known for collaborating. Sounds like it might turn out to be partially true but that the Swedish paper isn't 100% accurate, just milking the local angle of the story.

He might co-wrote Everyday. But there is no way he WROTE it.
