Officially Bon Scott is not credited with any writing on the album but it is hard to imagine he didn't contribute considering all the facts. Scott was working on the album with the band before he died and talked to various friends about how big the album was going to be. He did write lyrics for the album which the band claims were shelved and rewritten. AC DC's tour manager at the time claims to have seen lyric sheets from Scott that are the same as those on the album. Scott's girlfriend also mentioned that a black book containing lyrics was mysteriously stolen immediately after his death. The time line between Scott's death and the release of BIB doesn't really jibe either. In the 5 months after Scott's death ACDC had to search for a new vocalist, practice, finish writing songs, record, and finally release an album..... Those are the facts. If you look at it from an intuitive standpoint it's pretty easy to see that the lyrical and melodic vocal style of BIB fits with ACDC's previous albums and not the later albums with Brian Johnson.

No, Back in Black was a tribute song to Bon Scott and was written by Malcolm Young a good time after Bon died
