Yes, Elvis Presley did occasionally write his own songs, but he is primarily known for his interpretations of songs written by others. Some of his most famous songs, such as "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Love Me Tender," were co-written by Elvis himself. However, his early success was largely built on performing songs written by professional songwriters, such as those from the songwriting duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
