Most people believe if you can write poetry you can write songs.

Lyrics can have poetry but poetry alone does not make a

song.

Concept or Melody

Define Title of song

Define the Style of the Song

The 5 Step Songwriting Process

The song will just sound not right and your audience will feel it.

Define the Structure of your Lyrics

Define your Rhyming Scheme

Congratulations, you have a potential hit

If you do not follow the 5 steps,

you may create a song which does not harmonise

e.g. you created a hip hop song and

used the rhyming technique for a pop song

Concept or Melody

First you need a Concept/Idea or melody for your song, if you do not have a melody it will be an idea or feeling which will drive you to write the song.

Make certain each song that you compose has one cohesive concept that streams through the song and that all the lines support that concept. If there is more than one idea fighting for life, no one concept will win.

Most commonly used concepts Love Friendship Conflict Loss Geography and travel
