How is Constructed Song?

Song Structure Explained

What are the parts of a song?

So lets go into music space and talk a little how songs are constructed.
Basically, songs are built like this:

• Intro

• Verse

• Chorus

• Verse

• Bridge

• Chorus

• Verse

• Outro

Many artists today change the scheme to fit their genre and style.
But why?
Because one of the most important reasons is expression and marketing.

But…
How they do that? How they are changing structure?
They are changing structure by:

• Giving a hook closer

• Making 2 verses instead of 1

• Changing the order while knowing how songs are built

---

VERSE

• The verse is the part where you write the story. Put there your feelings, thoughts, all that in one place.

• Length depends on genre:

  • Hip-hop → usually longer, storytelling heavy, chorus just adds color

  • Pop → short or medium, chorus is catchy and repeatable

• Verses may repeat or differ depending on what works best for the song

• Tip: Always make your verse fit your mood and vibe, don’t just copy someone

---

CHORUS

• Chorus is the summary of your song.

• Few catchy words that sound good and fit the vibe.

• Chorus = the hook people sing along to.

• Tip: Make it memorable, easy to repeat, and emotional

---

BRIDGE

• Moment to create tension or build hype for the chorus

• Can go soft, calm, or unexpected

• Tip: Use it to give your listeners breathing space or a new angle

---

INTRO

• Introduces the song title and vibe

• Can be short, long, loud, soft—depends on your idea

• Tip: Make intro catch attention but don’t give everything away

---

OUTRO

• End of the song

• Could be slow fade, hard stop, emotional twist—depends on your idea

• Tip: Outro should feel like natural ending, not random

All of this is called ARRANGEMENT.

---

BEAT

Beat is the foundation of your song.

• The part where you sing, rap, or mumble.

• Constructed from:

  • Instruments

  • Effects

  • Vocals

  • Percussion

Beat = first piece of paper you write lyrics over.
It helps you feel where chorus and verse go.

• Tip: Don’t rush. Let beat guide your emotions and storytelling

Songs also have layers:

• Vocal

• Sound design & selection

• Mix & Master

• Composition

• Lyrics

All parts = one song
