That person(s) is usually he/she who produced the chords/melody that are the song. Lyrics (the words) are sometimes registered separately but as with the rest of this, it varies from country to country.
The reason for this complicated process is down to the fact that money can be made from music. Sometimes a great deal of money. So who owns what has been made the subject of copyright law and thereby the province of lawyers.
