When iterates of polynomial is a prime power of a polynomial

Multi tool use
Let $mathbb{K}$ be a field, $f^{(n)}(x)=(g(x))^p$ where $f,g in mathbb{K}[x]$; $p$ is prime. Can we conclude that $f(x)=(h(x))^p$ for some $hinmathbb{K}[x]$?
($f^{(n)}(x)$ denotes an iteration of $f$.) The question seems to be interesting even for cases $mathbb{K}=mathbb{R}$ or $mathbb{K}=mathbb{Q}$.

This is false for $n = p$ and $f(x) = x$. Perhaps you had in mind $n$ and $p$ coprimes?
