Stella Lefty's 'Summer You Were Mine' Gets Missing Songwriter Credits After Streaming Platform Error

Tia Sillers and Mark Selby, the writers behind the Chicks' 1998 Grammy-winning single 'There's Your Trouble', now appear on the credits for Stella Lefty's track 'Summer You Were Mine' after a streaming platform error left their names off the record. A representative for Atlantic Records, Lefty's label, told Rolling Stone that the omission was a platform-side mistake, not a failure to clear the song. Rolling Stone

Lefty's 'Summer You Were Mine' interpolates 'There's Your Trouble', meaning it takes the earlier song's melody or lyric and reworks it, rather than lifting a recording directly — the technique known as sampling. The track appears on 'Long Way Home', the 24-year-old singer's debut album, which Atlantic released on 21 August 2026.

The credit gap looked like it could have been a clearance problem. It was not. Rolling Stone reviewed materials showing that Lefty's team received proper clearance for the interpolation from Sony Publishing in June, and that Sillers and Selby's names were already on the song's credits in internal label documents by late July, before the album reached the public. The missing byline was a display error on the streaming services where listeners actually see credits, not a dispute over who was owed them.

Reps for Spotify and Apple Music did not immediately reply to Rolling Stone's requests for comment.

Sillers wrote 'There's Your Trouble' with her husband, Mark Selby, who died in 2017. Her songwriting catalogue spans some of the most-played country and rock radio songs of the past three decades, including Lee Ann Womack's 'I Hope You Dance' and 'Blue on Black', recorded by Kenny Wayne Shepherd. 'There's Your Trouble' won the Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1999.

Lefty's path to a debut album has been fast. Her breakout single 'Boston', which drew comparisons to Noah Kahan's 2024 hit 'Stick Season', helped her gain half a million followers. In a Vanity Fair article, Lefty said she had no hesitation adding Kahan as a co-writer on 'Boston' when his team contacted her before the song's official release. She was also one of the most popular performers at 2026's CMA Fest in Nashville.

For Sillers, the correction means her name sits where it should have been all along — beside her late husband's — on a song a new generation of listeners are already streaming.
