Data Insight

The debut shows Teddy Swims's writing pattern clearly: Jaten Dimsdale has a hand in nearly every track, but his name almost always appears in a crowd of co-writers, usually his producers plus outside songwriters. 'Lose Control' alone lists five writers, and 'Some Things I'll Never Know' lists seven. The two producers most present are Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, who together anchor the album's sound. The collaborative-team approach, not solo authorship, is the defining shape of this record.

I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1) is the debut studio album by Teddy Swims, released in September 2023 on Warner Records. The record pairs his soul-soaked voice with contemporary pop and R&B production, built around the breakout single 'Lose Control,' which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the biggest songs of its era. Like most modern pop, the album is heavily co-written: Jaten Dimsdale shares writing credits with large teams of producers and songwriters, including Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Joshua Coleman, and Mikky Ekko. Concise at ten tracks, it established Teddy Swims as a major mainstream voice and was certified platinum in the United States.
