Why Catchiness Matters#

Catchy lyrics:

• Get stuck in heads (earworms)
• Encourage audience participation
• Increase streaming/replay value
• Make songs shareable
• Build fan connection

Catchiness Techniques#

Repetition Patterns#

• Simple: "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
• Building: "I want it, I need it, I got it"
• Question/Answer: "Where are you now? (I'm right here)"

Memorable Hooks#

• Short phrases (3-5 words)
• Strong rhythm
• Emotional punch
• Universal feelings

Vowel Power#

Long vowels are easier to sing:

• "Go" vs "Get"
• "Free" vs "Fret"
• "Stay" vs "Stop"

2Has the sustainability to continue forward

Output:#

1Are we gonna make it?
2Tell me are we gonna make it?
3You don't call, you don't write
4Are we gonna make it through the night?
5(Are we gonna make it?)
