==Premise==
Each episode, producers [[Ryan Tedder]], [[Ester Dean]] and [[Shane McAnally]] team up with songwriters to create the next big hit to be recorded by the guest performing artist.<ref name=":7">{{cite web |last=Montplasir |first=Kyle |title=Sneak Peek: NBC’s ‘Songland’ Puts a New Twist on Reality Competition With HUGE Star Power |url=https://talentrecap.com/songland-new-show-huge-stars// |website=Talent Recap |date=April 1, 2019}}</ref> Four seemingly unknown songwriters audition songs they have written live for the producers and that episode's guest star(s).<ref name=":2" /> They do so in ''Songland''{{'}}s makeshift [[Music studio|recording studio]] equipped with sound mixing equipment, and sometimes with live musicians and extra singers.<ref name=":0" /> They immediately get feedback for the song's lyrics, message, and musical construction, often with specific ways to improve the track.<ref name=":0" /> Reviewer Nancy Stetson commented:
{{Blockquote|text=It's enlightening to see how a song can change just by slowing it down or speeding it up, or moving the chorus, or emphasizing the beat or shuffling parts around.<ref name=":2" />}}

==Production==
Musician and composer [[David A. Stewart]], formerly of [[Eurythmics]], conceived ''Songland''.<ref name=":2" /> ''Songland'' attempts to rework the often thankless and grueling job of [[songwriting]].<ref name=":0" /> The general public rarely notes who wrote the lyrics, or the music that catches attention, instead the credit is generally given to the singer,<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://fortmyers.floridaweekly.com/articles/capturing-the-creative-process-in-songland/|title=Capturing the creative process in 'Songland'|last=Stetson|first=Nancy|date=July 3, 2019|website=Fort Myers Florida Weekly|access-date=2019-07-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190718031332/https://fortmyers.floridaweekly.com/articles/capturing-the-creative-process-in-songland/|archive-date=July 18, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> the typical narrative being that they're anonymous "cogs in the well-oiled [[Pop music|pop (music) machine]]".<ref name=":0" /> A song is optioned, sometimes passed to other artists, who may wait months or years to record it, or just a [[Hook (music)|hook]] from it, and all for the singer's own glory.<ref name=":0" /> The show tries to elevate the traditional role of the songwriter in the process of creating music from "unpleasant secret" to being the celebrated "magic ingredient".<ref name=":0" />
The show premiered in May 2019, with three producer-hosts: producer and songwriter [[Ester Dean]]; producer and lead singer of [[OneRepublic]] [[Ryan Tedder]]; and songwriter [[Shane McAnally]].<ref name=":2" /> In 2016, an entertainment lawyer advised prospective songwriters from signing the show's contract as they would be giving it the rights to their work whether chosen or not.<ref name=":4" /> The show responded, "We wish to be abundantly clear that by signing the casting application, songwriters do not transfer ownership of any of their original songs. This show is truly a celebration of songwriters and their craft."<ref name=":4" />
