Who to write a song

All you really need is some basic knowledge of a melody instrument like a guitar or a piano, an idea, and the proper methodology. As long as you know how to brainstorm ideas for your song, how to write lyrics, and how to put a song together, you can call yourself a songwriter.

Lyric writing can often be the most frustrating and difficult aspect of the songwriting process, especially for amateur songwriter's lacking in experience. Having a clear idea of what your song will be about is a good start.

Faster rhythms and beats work best for upbeat or chaotic songs, like techno and punk rock music. Sad or emotional songs, like pop and country songs, usually have slower rhythms and beats. If your song doesn’t fit into any of those categories, you can try a mid-tempo approach, which is typical for classic rock music.

Starting with your song’s main riff or hook isn’t ideal for every songwriter. Some songwriters prefer to start at the beginning of their track by writing a killer intro, which will lead them naturally into the rest of the song, while others will get the lyrics down first, and then worry about the tune afterwards.
