How to Structure a Pop Song

Writing a Hit: Pop Song Dynamics and Structure

Are you looking at writing the next big hit pop song? Can you feel the melody and hook in your head and itching to get it down?

Or are you not sure exactly where to begin?

If you actively listen to pop music, there is a great chance you already understand the structure. You may just not be aware of it.

There are a ton of different strategies you can use when structuring a pop song, but this is a go-to by many songwriters.

Let's dive right into it!
