👩‍🍳 Every great song has these 4 simple ingredients… ⤵️

1️⃣ Real-life sayings in the lyrics

If you want your song to really hit home with people, try using phrases or sayings that people use in real life. This creates a sense of familiarity and relatability to the words. Inspiration is literally everywhere. Keep your eyes (and ears) open to find it.

2️⃣ Catchy melody

Here’s a good rule of thumb. If someone hears your song for the first time and can sing along before it’s finished, then you’ve done your job of crafting a catchy melodic hook.

3️⃣ Plot Twist

Just like any movie worth watching, your song needs a good plot twist. This could be a thematic lyrical twist, but it could also look like taking the melody somewhere you didn’t expect it to go. A key change. A new chord progression. A new instrument on the second verse. The important thing is to add elements throughout your song to keep the listener excited and engaged!

4️⃣ Your personal experience or emotions

Share YOUR story in song. Even if the plot of your song is fictional, you can flavor it with emotions from your own personal experiences. Then your song will be 10X more relatable because it has a piece of you written into it.
