True, but it also immediately became publicly known by their own mouth and created a label dropping level conflict to get credit which they still don't have. Which highly suggests it was the first time to happen.The girls do write BUUUUT they have had writing credits in the past for changing a word or asking the writers to change a lyric or even just all 4 of them being in the room, it’s not uncommon for that to happen. Even Beyoncé does it, she barely writes any of her own music.
There was a massive fall out with Syco over Woman Like Me, they wanted writing credit for asking lyric changes in a few parts and they weren’t given credit and it caused a big issue with Simon and their management!

I like my coffee with two sugars in it
High heels and my jewelry dripping
Drink and I get all fired up (Hey, hey, hey)
Insecure but I'm working with it
Many things that I could get rid of
Ain't about to give it up
Original:
I like my coffee with two sugars in it
Nike shoes and my hoodie fitted
Always have my hair tied up (Hey, hey, hey)
Insecure, but I won't admit it
Many things that I could get rid of
Don't know how to give it up
LM:
You got them blue jeans with a rip up in them
My hair with your fingers in it
Love it when you turn me on
'Yoncé with a little bit of
Love Drunk in the middle with it

Also, who even cares who wrote the songs? If it slaps it’s slaps. Some of the best artists of our time didn’t write their own songs, doesn’t make them any less worthy to be where they are.
And, they're equally ready to admit who wrote the song alone even when have credits on it.
