was phil collins the original writer to the song "another day in paradise"?

Answer 1

Yes,"Another Day in Paradise" was the first single released from Phil Collins' number-one album, ...But Seriously. Written to bring attention to the problem of homelessness, the song was a substantial departure from the dance pop music of his previous album, No Jacket Required.

Answer 2

I believe so. He recorded it first (it was on his album "But Seriously..."), and since he writes most of his own material, I would guess that he wrote it.
