The band has always credited the songwriting to "Duran Duran", i.e., the entire band, ensuring that royalties are always split evenly. It does appear that their approach is very collaborative, with each member contributing to the composition for their own instrument. Usually the band composes the music first, with lyrics written afterwards.

The majority of the lyrics, particularly in the early albums, are composed by singer Simon Le Bon, with keyboardist Nick Rhodes beginning to contribute lyrics starting with the 1997 album Medazzaland. The lyrics to a few songs have been written by bassist John Taylor or (former) guitarist Warren Cuccurullo.
