Label
Prescription Songs
Prescription Songs is an independent music publishing and licensing company founded in 2009 by producer-songwriter Lukasz Gottwald, widely known as Dr. Luke. The company manages the intellectual property of its roster of songwriters, overseeing mechanical royalties, performance royalties, and sync licensing across television, film, and advertising.
The Prescription Songs roster has placed songs on the Billboard Hot 100 consistently since the label's founding. Writers affiliated with the company have worked with artists across pop, hip-hop, and electronic music, including Katy Perry, Kesha, Kelly Clarkson, Doja Cat, Kim Petras, and Britney Spears. The company's reach across global pop directly intersects with Korean pop music: its songwriters have contributed to international collaboration tracks featuring K-pop artists, and Dr. Luke's production approach has been studied and referenced by Korean producers working in the global pop space.
Between 2013 and 2017, Prescription Songs operated a joint publishing venture with Nashville's Big Machine Records, extending its reach into country music. Today the company maintains offices in Los Angeles and Nashville and continues to represent some of the most commercially successful songwriters in contemporary pop music.
