​Like the beginning of a film or novel, a song introduction should catch the listener’s attention. The goal is to establish the rhythm, tempo, and melody of the song, and introduce the singer or singers’ voices.

​​Intro

​The verse of a song is a chance to tell a story. Lyrically speaking, this is where the story actually develops and advances

​​Verse

​The bridge typically happens only once towards the end of a song, usually between the second and third chorus. he point is to jolt the listener out of her reverie and remind her that there’s more to this song than just repetition

​​Bridge

The chorus is the culmination of all the big ideas in your song. This is often why the title of the song also appears in the chorus. It’s a summary of what the entire song is about. Choruses should serve as the climax to the song.

Chorus

The Reffrein is a repetition, usually uses another part of the song and is simpler than the chorus.

​​Reff/Reffrein

​

​This is the end of the song. An outro should signal clearly to the listener that the song is coming to an end

Outro
