Gray largely writes and performs his own discography, and frequently co-writes with other songwriters. His most frequent collaborator is his producer Dan Nigro, who has made contributions to each of the aforementioned releases, with the exception of the third album. Found Heaven was primarily written with Oscar Holter and Max Martin. Elvira Anderfjärd, Luka Kloser, and Ilya Salmanzadeh have also contributed to multiple albums. While Gray has stated that he prefers not to participate in musical collaborations with artists with whom he does not have a pre-existing relationship, and is concerned that collaborating may ruin friendships with those with whom he does, [8] [9] he has sung with Cavetown, Lauv, and Olivia Rodrigo.
