Serena Ryder, Sabrina Carpenter, Lonely Island + More Songwriter Royalties

This listing features songs by Emmy-nominated producer and songwriter Jerrod Bettis, professionally known as SKINS. Highlights include his work with Canadian songstress Serena Ryder, The Lonely Island’s comedy hit “I Just Had Sex,” and Sabrina Carpenter’s breakout single “Eyes Wide Open.”

The "Dollar Age" of the catalog is 12.43 years, which provides insight into the maturity of the royalties being generated. Typically, a higher Dollar Age suggests a catalog with a longer history of generating income, which can be favorable as it might imply a stable and possibly predictable revenue stream. 

Jerrod Bettis, professionally as SKINS, is a Emmy-nominated producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A founding member and early drummer for OneRepublic, Bettis helped shape the band’s initial sound before launching a prolific career behind the scenes.

“Stompa” is the lead single from Serena Ryder’s sixth studio album, Harmony, released in September 2012. Co-written by Ryder and Jerrod Bettis, the track blends rock and soul elements and became Ryder’s first single to be certified platinum—and later triple platinum—in Canada. It was also featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy and used in a Cadillac SRX commercial, contributing to its wide exposure. The album itself went platinum and won the 2014 Juno Award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year. “What I Wouldn’t Do,” the album’s second single, was released in November 2012. The song earned a Juno Award in 2014 for Songwriter of the Year, peaked at No. 8 on the Canadian Hot 100, achieved Gold certification in Canada, and was also featured in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and Rookie Blue.

“Automatic,” from Burnham’s Almost Famous EP (2010), captures teenage energy through its vibrant pop-rock arrangement and explores themes of youthful excitement and romance.

“I Just Had Sex,” featuring Akon, was released in December 2010 as the lead single from The Lonely Island’s second album, Turtleneck & Chain (May 2011). Originally performed on Saturday Night Live, the song earned a 2011 Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. It became a breakout hit and remains a landmark in musical comedy.

“Eyes Wide Open,” the title track and second single from Sabrina Carpenter’s debut album of the same name, was released on April 7, 2015. The song earned a Radio Disney Music Award in 2016 for Best Anthem and helped establish Carpenter as a mature pop presence.
