Unless we're talking about singer-songwriters, we don't often think about the writing talent behind the big hits that make popstars great.

Usually, if a songwriter has a decent voice, or at least some stage presence, they'll sing their own songs. If not, the tunes get passed on to popstars with better sets of pipes.

But not all popstars hang on to their own songs – sometimes they'll hand them on to their pop colleagues, or want to work with someone in particular but not hog the limelight. For some, songwriting is their first step to becoming a popstar.

But do you know which famous faces were the driving force between some of these big tunes? Click through our quiz to see if their talent – and yours – can shine through.

A little harder than I was expecting. Only knew a few. Most were just guesses. Still got half, so not bad.

So Taylor Swift wrote This Is What You Came For? Probably took her like 10 minutes, if that!
