The only difference between a good and a bad song is the harmony between it's parts, some songwriters succeed at making each song component unique and worth listen to, others fail at one component or all of them together,so make sure you follow these song writing tips to better understand how each part should be written.

In order to write a "hit song", you have to take care of each song components at a time, because each of them require different songwriting techniques as well as many (i mean many!!) songwriting ideas.

1- Writing a good intro: In this lesson we've seen how every songwriter should start his intro by setting the mood for the listener, and grabbing his attention.

2- Writing a good verse: right after the intro where the verse comes with it's lyrics, you should be careful when moving from the intro to the verse because it requires an increase in energy and may be an introduction of other instruments. For the 2nd verse, it looks almost as the 1st one.

3- Writing a good chorus: It's a very important part of the song, because every listener can differentiate it well, you should introduce as many songwriting ideas as you can to make it unique, as well as increasing the energy to a very high level. For the 2nd chorus, it looks almost like the 1st one.

4- Writing a good bridge: Here is where you should be intense in order to prevent your listener from loosing interest in your song, it's the part that doesn't repeat itself, so make it unique because you have only one shot.

5- Writing a good outro: It's the part of the song that new songwriters always fail to write, it should be well balanced especially at the end when you introduce the fade away technique.

These are the most common parts of the song, try to take care of everyone of them in order to write a successful song that will be enjoyed every time someone listen to it.
