who wrote the song just the way you are

The title “Just the Way You Are” is attached to two very famous songs, each with different writers.

Main answer

• The 2010 pop song “Just the Way You Are” performed by Bruno Mars was written by Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Khalil Walton, and Needlz (Khadimou Rassoul Cheikh Fall).

• The 1977 ballad “Just the Way You Are” performed by Billy Joel was written by Billy Joel himself.
