About Songwriting

Songwriters are musicians who create musical compositions and write lyrics for songs. Those who mostly write lyrics are usually referred to as lyricists. Nowadays with the constant growth of the music industry and the constantly evolving expectations, some musicians have entire teams assigned to writing songs for them. One person might be in charge of the lyrics while another one creates the melodies and beats. 

Is Songwriting hard?

Songwriting is a particularly creative process, so there’s no real straightforward answer to this question. Some people will have an easier time from the get go, while others might struggle to write even a few lines. However, just like with any other skill, it takes time, practice and experience to get good, regardless of who you are. 


There are a few things that could make songwriting a challenge for any beginner. The first one is not knowing the fundamentals. It’s important to know what a song consists of, before starting. This includes reading all about choruses, bridges, verses, hooks etc. 


Writer’s block is another obstacle that not only beginners but experienced songwriters struggle with. Regardless of how long you’ve been doing it, all of us have off days. It might be frustrating in the beginning, but you have to get used to it and learn that sometimes it's just better to take some time off.


Although writing and composing a song is not an easy task you shouldn’t let this deter you from trying. If music is something that genuinely interests you, then you should give it a try. Just remember that it will take time and patience before you start noticing actual improvement. 

How do you learn how to write a song?

Although everyone is different and there is no one right way to do it, there are some tips you can incorporate into your daily routine to get started with songwriting. 


Although it might seem like a no-brainer, the first step to learning how to write songs is to sit down and start trying! Many beginners struggle with deciding on whether they should start by writing lyrics or by creating the melody and the beats. Unfortunately, there is no “right” answer to this question. Every songwriter has a different approach and the only way for you to figure out yours is by trying different things and seeing what works. Get comfortable with the idea that most attempts won’t be successful and that that’s a normal part of the process!


Another tip is to keep expanding your musical knowledge by learning new chords. Many beginner musicians learn a few chords and then reuse them for every new song they attempt to write. This is absolutely normal in the beginning but after a while it can dull down your creative process. The key to improvement is to keep learning new things and incorporating them into your songs. 


Last but certainly not least, keep listening to plenty of music! The more music you listen to, the more ideas and inspirations you’ll get!
