agree  ErichEko ⟹⭐: Based on google hits, "songs composed by" + "song composed by" = 121,000 + 78,700; "songs arranged by" + "song arranged by" = 42,300 + 15,000. Then, "composed" is more common.

agree  Hikmat Gumilar: if ...the songs played by Potret isn't their own creation..but say if Gigi now launched religious album of songs from Bimbo, etc then its Arrangement not Composition...imho ... Google merely reflects that more people create songs than arrange 'em

I think it should be specified whether the context / the songs is pure creation of Potret. Then Composed is the right thing.

As Arranged/Arrangement is referred to ADAPTATION, orchestration, instrumentation of songs, where the songs are modified here and there and not those created by Potret, for example Dangdut music was arranged and added some Beethoven in it etc.
