Why it matters
The sketch draws attention to recent public discourse surrounding musical authorship and the creative habits of high-charting pop stars. It highlights the show's tendency to satirize viral cultural moments and contemporary pop music controversies.
Stella Lefty's song Boston reached the number two position on the charts. Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan is credited as a writer on the track.
