Example lyric structure
[Intro]
(Clean electric guitar riff)
(Simple drum beat)

[Verse 1]
Walking down the street we know
Wondering where the time goes
Coffee cups and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets

[Chorus]
(Catchy melody)
We are young and we are free
Just you and me
Dancing in the summer rain
Forget the pain

[Verse 2]
Polaroids on the wall
Waiting for you to call
Sweaters in the summertime
Everything is gonna be fine

[Outro]
(Whistling melody)
(Guitar fades out)
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Working method

Build around the strongest hook.

Start with the recipe’s sonic vocabulary, then draft the chorus or central motif before expanding the verses. The genre should shape section energy and performance—not merely sit as a label at the top.
