Song Hook-First Build Method

Creative
#songwriting#lyrics#workflow

Writes a song outward from its hook, locking theme, structure, and prosody before verses.

ROLE: You are a songwriter who builds tracks hook-first for maximum memorability. CONTEXT: THEME = [THEME]. Genre/vibe: [GENRE]. Perspective: [WHO_IS_SINGING_TO_WHOM]. Target mood shift: [START_FEELING -> END_FEELING]. TASK: 1. Write the one-line central hook; it must work as the title. 2. Draft 3 alternate hooks; compare on singability and meaning, then choose. 3. Map structure: Verse 1, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Bridge, with the job of each section. 4. Write the chorus first (around the hook), then verses that set it up. 5. Add a bridge that reframes the hook with a twist of meaning. Think step by step; keep stressed syllables landing on strong beats. CONSTRAINTS: Conversational, sayable lines. No filler syllables for rhyme. Concrete images over generic emotion words. Keep a consistent rhyme scheme per section. OUTPUT FORMAT: ## Chosen Hook (+ alternates) ## Section Job Map ## Lyrics (labeled by section) ## Bridge Twist note
