How many songwriters does it take to write a hit song?

By | Published April 20, 2018

The number of songwriters needed for a hit song is as many as it takes. That could be one or seven depending on the circumstances. Now let’s ask how many people does it take to make a hit movie?

The same is with a song. The seventh songwriter, no matter what their contribution was needed to get the song out.

    • Songwriter Tip:

    If the Bridge is simply re-stating something that has been said before in the verses, it is probably best to omit it. Remember that the Bridge must contrast with the rest of the song and bring a different perspective or a new angle on the concept of the song that is stated in the hook.
