Turn On To Justin Tranter
The songwriter’s seven sexist hits

Chances are, Justin Tranter has written one of your favorite pop songs.
Since 2004, he’s lended a hand in writing dozens of songs for stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Fall Out Boy and more. He received his first Grammy nomination in 2017 for “Issues” performed by Julia Michaels, and in addition to a successful songwriting career, he’s been a vocal advocate for pro-LGBTQ causes.
Tratner has a clear talent for penning sexy songs for music’s hottest performers. Here are seven hits he’s written that are perfectly provocative.
“Bad At Love” by Halsey
Tranter co-wrote this sultry hit with Halsey in 2017. The singer’s constant and refreshing embrace of her own sexuality makes the bass-heavy, hip hop-flavored radio hit even more enticing.
“Hands to Myself” by Selena Gomez
Tranter helped show the world Gomez wasn’t a Disney Channel star anymore with this spunky song, which appeared on her second studio album. The lyrics are as seductive as the melody is fun, making for a cute tune to turn on to.
“Touch” by Pia Mia
The Youtuber-gone-recording-artist has a taste for R&B, and it’s easy to hear hints of it blend easily with Tranter’s signature pop style in this sensual song. A lyrically simple chorus doesn’t make it any less sexy –– it might even help build some healthy frustration.
“Kissing Strangers” by DNCE ft. Nicki Minaj
The Jonas Brothers aren’t wearing their purity rings anymore. Joe Jonas’ ensemble project DNCE teamed up with Tranter for this seductive song. Its danceable beat and catchy chorus easily heats things up.
“Close” by Nick Jonas ft. Tove Lo
Actually, Tranter double-dipped on writing for Jonas Brothers. He co-wrote this sensual R&B tune for Nick Jonas, and Tove Lo’s feature made it all the more sexy. Who knew steel drums could get you in the mood for more than just a beach vacation?
“Slumber Party” by Britney Spears ft. Tinashe
The original pop princess herself hasn’t ever been shy about turning up the heat, making her a natural choice for a sexy collaboration with Tranter. It’s not hard to figure out what kind of slumber party the two had in mind when they wrote this infectiously fun pop tune.
“Misery” by Gwen Stefani
Stefani is one of Tranter’s most frequent collaborators. He’s helped pen more than a few of the long-reigning pop star’s hits, including this sensual tune, which reminds you that everyone can appreciate a little begging sometimes.
