Wikipedia:
Light My Fire was principally written by Doors guitarist Robby Krieger but was credited to the entire band.
Krieger said that he was inspired by the melody of Hey Joe and the lyrics of the Rolling Stones’ Play with Fire.
Jim Morrison wrote the second verse and part of the chorus, while Ray Manzarek added the Bach-influenced introductory organ motif.
