The description of the category at the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards states that it is intended for "songwriters with a minimum of six newly written songs in which they are credited as a songwriter or co-writer and are not the performer, producer or engineer." Singles and tracks from a previous year, instrumental recordings, cover songs, remixes, and interpolation/sampling recordings are not eligible.

The category will be first awarded at the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2023, alongside two other categories (Best Singer-Songwriter Song and Best Portuguese-Language Urban Performance) that were also introduced said year.
