By the Numbers
Good News shows the sample-rap authorship pattern clearly: Megan wrote every verse, so her stage name leads the lyricist column, joined only by featured rappers and singers who wrote their own parts. The composer credits run far wider, listing her legal name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete beside the producers and the original writers of each sampled record, which is why tracks like the O.P.P.-sampling 'Go Crazy' or the Who Shot Ya?-sampling 'Shots Fired' carry long writer lists.
Good News is the debut studio album by Megan Thee Stallion, released on November 20, 2020, through 1501 Certified Entertainment and 300 Entertainment. It arrived after her breakthrough year and collects high-profile collaborations with DaBaby, Beyoncé, Young Thug, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, SZA, and others. The production roster spans Cool & Dre, Tay Keith, Juicy J, Mustard, Scott Storch, and J. White Did It, with beats built heavily on samples and interpolations that pull in the original writers of records by The Notorious B.I.G., Naughty by Nature, Eazy-E, and more. Megan wrote her own verses throughout, with featured artists writing their guest contributions. The album includes the number-one single 'Savage' with Beyoncé and the hit 'Body.'
