We&#8217;d probably all agree that every new project we start (and sometimes never finish!) is a step towards getting better at songwriting. While there isn&#8217;t a surefire method to write a great song, there are many helpful hints to spark creativity, get out of ruts, or nudge us in the right direction. We hope you might better understand your own process, or how to write music, with the following songwriting tips!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Decide Where to Start<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes this is more of an organic discovery than a conscience decision, but figuring out the first piece of your song will help set you on your creative journey.<\/p>\n<p>Do you begin with a chord progression or a melody? Maybe you have lyrics already written that you\u2019d like to set to music, or perhaps there\u2019s a drum pattern you want to build a song around.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case may be, finding your starting point builds a solid creative foundation from which you can continue writing!<\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/14-songs-with-a-lot-of-bass\/\">14 Songs with a LOT of Bass\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-asmr-microphone\/\">Best ASMR Microphones for Any Budget<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/lancaster-audio-ir-review\/\">Lancaster Audio Impulse Responses Review<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Take Advantage of Moments of Inspiration<\/h3>\n<p>How many of us are fully prepared to record whenever we have a moment of creativity? Some of the best ideas come while we\u2019re at work, sitting in traffic, or simply handling our day-to-day lives. It isn\u2019t always convenient, but taking advantage of spurts of inspiration is crucial!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40494 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2.jpg\" alt=\"12 Incredible Songwriting Tips that Work_2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-227x170.jpg 227w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-40x30.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-563x422.jpg 563w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-453x340.jpg 453w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-13x10.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-12x9.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/12-Incredible-Songwriting-Tips-that-Work_2-385x289.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re <em>not <\/em>at home and set up to record your ideas, grab your phone and hum that melody into a voice memo. Whether physical or digital, keep a notepad handy to jot down lyrics or any other ideas you can flesh out later.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you\u2019re free to get in songwriting mode at home, don\u2019t let fleeting moments of motivation pass!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Express Yourself Freely<\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the hardest things for any artist to master. We\u2019re inevitably our own worst critics, and battling self-doubt is one of the biggest hindrances to creativity and motivation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to sit down with the intention of self-expression rather than the goal of writing a hit record.<\/p>\n<p>Improvise, make mistakes, embarrass yourself, and you\u2019ll surely find gold flecks within the raw expression. Most importantly, you\u2019ll allow yourself to grow as a confident artist if you first allow yourself to fail.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

This is a particularly useful tip if you&#8217;ve hit a roadblock or don&#8217;t know where to begin. Don&#8217;t expect to have created a masterpiece, by any means, but be receptive to happy accidents that may have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows? Maybe you&#8217;ll have a two-note sequence that sparks some inspiration and leads to a fantastic melody.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Write What You Know<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes time to write lyrics, personal experience is a fantastic place from which to draw. It sounds clich\u00e9, but it\u2019s so obvious that it often eludes us altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the greatest timeless records were, of course, written about the artist\u2019s own life. Heartbreak, loss, and moments of joy and triumph are universal experiences that inevitably lead to relatable, emotive lyrics.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Use Different Tools<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/4-tips-becoming-successful-songwriter-interview-tim-randolph\/\">Last year we spoke to Tim Randolph (Imagine Dragons)<\/a> who shared some incredible songwriting tips.

Pick it up and see what comes out of it! Sometimes the fresh feel and tone of an instrument you haven&#8217;t used in a while can be an excellent catalyst for creativity.<\/p>\n<h3>7. But, It Isn\u2019t <em>All<\/em> About the Tools<\/h3>\n<p>As musicians, engineers, and gear nerds, chances are we\u2019re always looking at the\u00a0<em>next\u00a0<\/em>acquisition. However, don\u2019t let what you <em>don\u2019t<\/em> have restrict your creativity.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a computer and a DAW, everything needed to write a song is already in front of you. Ultimately, the most important tool you have is yourself, and you can surely make do with what you\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n<h3>8.

Take Breaks!<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps one of the best songwriting tips we can offer is that it&#8217;s okay to take a break! Whether it&#8217;s 15 minutes or even a couple of weeks, focusing on other activities and a life outside of music is so, so important.<\/p>\n<p>As a guitarist, I&#8217;ve often heard interviews with some of the most technically proficient players who&#8217;ve taken a month or longer away from the instrument entirely. Sometimes we have to rekindle our love for something by forgetting how much we enjoy it in the first place!<\/p>\n<h3>12. Write Often!<\/h3>\n<p>By far the most important thing you can do as a songwriter is\u00a0to<em> do it as often as possible.<\/em>\u00a0The only way to improve at anything is to dedicate yourself to it, ideally making it a habitual practice.<\/p>\n<p>Try to set some time aside each day, or at least several times a week, to work on music.<\/p>\n<p>You may not write an entire piece in a half-hour chunk of free time, but you <em>can<\/em>accumulate enough material from short sessions to stitch something together over time.<\/p>\n<p>Simply <em>doing it<\/em> is the optimal way to learn how to a write a song!<\/p>\n<h3>Universal Songwriting Tips<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sIlt9wXZ3_o\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Hit Songwriter and Author Shelly Peiken - Warren Huart Produce Like a Pro\" title=\"Play video &quot;Hit Songwriter and Author Shelly Peiken - Warren Huart Produce Like a Pro&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sIlt9wXZ3_o<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sIlt9wXZ3_o\" title=\"Hit Songwriter and Author Shelly Peiken - Warren Huart Produce Like a Pro\">Hit Songwriter and Author Shelly Peiken &#8211; Warren Huart Produce Like a Pro (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sIlt9wXZ3_o)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>These 12 songwriting tips probably seem fairly simple, because they are!
