Example lyric structure
[Intro]
(Bass groove)
(Horn stab)

[Verse 1]
Baby, since you went away
Skies have turned to grey
I've been crying in my pillow
Weeping like a willow

[Chorus]
(Female backing vocals)
BRING IT ON HOME TO ME
Set my spirit free
I need your love, I need your touch
I miss you so much

[Bridge]
I was a fool to let you go
Now I know, now I know
Don't leave me standing in the rain
Take away this pain

[Outro]
(Vocal ad-libs)
(Fade out)
Come on home, baby...

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.
