Prescription Songs is an independent music publishing company founded in 2009 by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald.[2]
History
Between 2013 and 2017, Prescription Songs held a joint publishing deal with Nashville-based Big Machine Records. The company expanded its own presence in Nashville with the establishment of a second Prescription Songs headquarters in 2016.[2]
In 2014, recording artist Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault, emotional abuse, and psychological abuse. Since then, songwriters and others affiliated with Prescription Songs have come under scrutiny for their perceived connections to Dr. Luke. Ethel Cain, who signed to Prescription Songs in 2020, stated in a 2023 Rolling Stone interview that she regretted her decision and would not have signed to the label had she been aware of Dr. Luke's involvement. Cain stated that she would leave Prescription as soon as she fulfilled her contractual obligations to the company.[3]
