PrescriptionSongs

Prescription Songs is the independent music-publishing company founded by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald in 2009, built around songwriting, administration, and licensing rather than the usual fan-facing label model. The company's own website keeps the pitch simple: music publishing and licensing. That matters because Prescription Songs is less about idol-style branding and more about owning leverage where records actually get written.

Its importance shows up through the writers and producers in its orbit. The company has been tied to mainstream pop hitmaking for years, and its 2013 to 2017 joint publishing arrangement with Big Machine Records showed it was serious about building cross-market writing pipelines well before global pop collaboration became routine business language.

That publishing-first identity also gives the brand a direct K-pop angle. EJAE signed with Prescription Songs in 2025, extending the company's reach into one of the most globally networked songwriting ecosystems in music right now. In practice, Prescription Songs matters because it remains a focused independent rights company with real writer-development gravity.
