The songs were credited to whoever wrote them. Lennon and McCartney wrote the bulk of the group's songs, but George Harrison and Ringo Starr were also songwriters. The Beatles recorded cover versions of other people's music until 1965, then again in 1969 during rehearsals for the Get Back project, released as Let It Be.

Who were the Beatles main song writers?
Lennon/ McCartney wrote most of the Beatles songs, though Starr did write 1 of the most well known ones, Octopuses Garden. Lennon and McCartney had a handshake agreement going back to their earliest days that all songs either of them wrote for the band would carry the authorship of "Lennon/McCartney". In the bands earlier days - up until the time they really "hit it big" - many (not all) of their songs were genuine collaborative efforts. "She Loves You" is a typical example. But from that point on, it is more accurate to say that one or the other wrote the song, with the one who didn't being a "consultant". To be fair, Lennon wrote the lion's share of the groups big hits, but when McCartney wrote a winner, he really wrote a winner ("Michelle", "Yesterday", "And I Love Her", "Hey Jude".) Another good example of a collaborative effort is "We Can Work it Out". The main chorus "Try to see it my way . . . " is McCartney. The counterpoint view in the bridge ("Life is very short . . . ") is Lennon.
