Some of the responses are saying that it is about marketability and while that is certainly true for some musicians, it isn&#x27;t true for all -- optimistically I would even say most.<p>For example, I remember an interview with the German group Milky Chance where the main song writer said that he has never written a song in German <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thecurrent.org&#x2F;feature&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;22&#x2F;milky-chance-perform-in-the-current-studio" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thecurrent.org&#x2F;feature&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;22&#x2F;milky-chance-pe...</a><p>In these cases I would say it is a result of the popularity of English music and people wanting to emulate the music that they like. &quot;I like these songs and they are in English so if I write songs like these then I will write them in English.&quot;
