How to compose a hit song
Composing an hit song may be easy or hard to you depending on the level of skill you currently posses. You should also note that you can’t make your first song a hit song. Music Composition just like other skills require time and practise to polish.
- Always be Open to Inspiration
Do not look far, your next hit song might be around you. Music is the food for the soul, composing your next hit song can come from your surrounding. The every day activities, dialogues, conversations and events are the most true inspiration for your next hit songs.
Songs affects feelings and emotions. There is no better way to discover how people feels than through their day to day events or activities. There are times that the inspiration will just come from the blues, but you can also stir up the inspiration by just creating a theme out of daily activities of people. - Create a Theme
Your song should have a theme. Making music is like writing a story, you need to create a theme which will help gear up your inspiration and give the song meaning. - Go Original
A lot of times that producers do ask artists which direction they want the song. The producer just want a clue of what you recieve in your inspiration. Sometimes, it might just be a beat pattern or even melodic line. Don’t loss the original inspiration you received. - Refine
There are times that you just jump on the string or the beat and you start flowing to create a hit song. A lot of times, you need to refine and re-write some of your lyrics to get a hit song.
For example, Gospel music as the best value adding genre on the planet don’t just come out of one time inspiration. If the Inspiration comes, you should press more because there are still more for you to discover. Most music instrumentations that become a hit also comes from the musician or the producer trying to refine and design the sound. There are stories of songs that the songwriter keep refining for years to arrive at the final output. - Mix and Master
I have seen a lot of good song that don’t measure up because the sound did not come out well. A hit song need all elements of music production to be at the best. From Composition, to beat making, sound engineering, mixing and mastering, all hands must be on deck.
Getting a hit song is rewarding, but you need to give it what it takes to get one.
