Basic Song Structure Guide
Use this simple map to organize your ideas and keep listeners engaged.
Verse
The verse sets the scene. Introduce the story, mood, and details that lead into the hook.
Chorus
The chorus is the emotional payoff. Keep it memorable, repeat key words, and spotlight the song title.
Bridge
The bridge adds contrast. Change perspective, raise the tension, or shift the melody before the final chorus.
Example Structure
Verse → Chorus → Verse → Chorus → Bridge → Chorus
Keep it flexible. You can add intros, pre-choruses, or outros once you feel comfortable with the core flow.
