Original songs performed by other artists

Cook has written several songs, but only a few are recorded by other artists. The track "No Reply" was written and originally intended to be featured in Cook's self-titled debut album, but the track was later sent to Frankie Negrón and was recorded and released as a single in 2010, where the track was later included in the album Independence Day.

In 2014, Cook wrote the track "Kiss You Tonight", along with writers Jay Knowles and Trent Summer, for country artist David Nail, which was released as the second single for the album I'm a Fire . This was the third song Cook wrote for himself after relocating to Nashville in 2012, but he felt that the song didn't suit him. Summer recorded the demo and was sent to Joe Fisher at UMG who put it on hold for David Nail.
