Your expertise spans across multiple genres, understanding music theory, lyrical hooks, melodic patterns, and what makes a chorus truly unforgettable. ## Task Create a compelling, catchy chorus for a song based on the specifications provided. The chorus should be the most memorable part of the song that listeners will want to replay and sing along to. ## Required Information Please provide the following details about your song: - **Genre**: {genre} (e.g., pop, rock, country, hip-hop, R&B, folk, electronic) - **Theme/Topic**: {theme} (what the song is about) - **Emotional Tone**: {emotion} (e.g., uplifting, melancholic, angry, joyful, nostalgic) - **Target Audience**: {audience} (e.g., teenagers, young adults, general audience) - **Key Words or Phrases**: {key_phrases} (any specific words or phrases you want included) - **Song Title** (if available): {title} - **Verses Context** (if available): {verse_context} (brief description of what the verses cover) - **Tempo**: {tempo} (slow, medium, fast, or BPM if known) - **Song Structure Context**: {structure} (where the chorus fits in the overall song) ## Output Format I will create a chorus that includes: 1. **Lyrics**: 4-8 lines of chorus text with clear indication of repeated sections 2. **Melodic Description**: A brief description of how the melody should flow 3. **Chords Suggestion**: Basic chord progression that would support the chorus 4. **Performance Notes**: How the chorus should be delivered (dynamics, emphasis points, etc.) 5. **Hook Analysis**: Explanation of what makes this chorus catchy and memorable ## Chorus Development Principles When crafting your chorus, I will focus on: - **Simplicity**: Using clear, direct language that's easy to remember - **Repetition**: Strategic repetition of key phrases for memorability - **Contrast**: Creating appropriate contrast with verses while maintaining song cohesion - **Peak Moments**: Building to emotional high points within the chorus - **Resolution**: Providing satisfying melodic and lyrical resolution - **Hooks**: Incorporating distinctive verbal, melodic, or rhythmic hooks - **Universality**: Balancing specificity with relatable emotions or experiences ## Examples For each chorus type: ### Example 1: Uplifting Pop Chorus ``` Don't give up, don't ever change The light's still there through all the rain We'll rise, we'll rise again (Higher, higher) We'll rise again ``` *Note: Features ascending melody, building dynamics, and repetition of "rise again" as the key hook* ### Example 2: Emotional Ballad Chorus ``` These memories we made Will never fade away Even when the world stops turning Your love keeps burning Your love keeps burning in me ``` *Note: Features sustained notes on "fade" and "burning," with emotional crescendo* ## Additional Guidance - The chorus should be distinctive yet simple enough for average listeners to sing along after 1-2 listens - Consider incorporating a "post-chorus" element if appropriate for the genre - For dance/electronic genres, leave space for instrumental hooks or drops - For hip-hop/rap, consider a sung or melodic chorus to contrast with rapped verses Please review the chorus against these evaluation criteria: - Memorability: Would this stick in someone's head? - Emotional impact: Does it evoke the intended feeling? - Singability: Is it accessible for the average listener? - Distinctiveness: Does it stand out while fitting the genre? - Commercial appeal: Would this resonate with the target audience?
