Question

Can my chorus be simple, like a short sentence?

Community Answer

Yes. For an example, listen to Nick Cave's "Into my Arms," which has a chorus which consist only of one sentence and has quite a specific effect on a song.

Question

What happens if you really want to write a song for your crush but you just don't have the spirit of writing a song?

Community Answer

Try it anyway! You may surprise yourself. And if it doesn't come out well, you don't have to show it to anyone.

You could ask a friend to sing it for your crush, or you could turn your song into a poem and just write it down for him/her.

Question

What if you can't think of what to write and you're sick of writing songs?

Community Answer

Then don't write them a song. Why are you trying to write a song you aren't feeling? Go do something else.

Question

What if I'm afraid he won't like the song?

Community Answer

Play the song for a few friends/family members and see what they think. Try not to worry too much, though, he'll probably be really impressed and flattered that you wrote a song about him.

Question

What do I do if I have no ideas for a love song for my crush? Can I steal ideas from elsewhere?

Community Answer

I don't recommend it, because you don't want to get into trouble for plagiarism or a copyright violation. You can look online for song lyric generators and see what comes up, or just try listening to a lot of romantic songs and reading romantic poetry and seeing what they all have in common, what works and what doesn't work, etc.

Question

How do I write lyrics for a love song if I've never written a song before?

Community Answer

Just try your best to write down your thoughts as they come. Then go back and use what you wrote to form the lyrics. You can make them rhyme, but don't have to. The 1st time I wrote a song I thought it would be horrible, but it wasn't. Don't be afraid to try!

Question

What do I do if I don't know if my crush likes me or not and I want to write them a song?

Just go for it! Writing a song is a great way to express your feelings for someone. Even if they don't feel the same way, they'll definitely be flattered.

Question

Should I get my friends to help me write a song, or will he hate me if he finds out I had help?

Community Answer

I believe that he will find it awesome that you have tried to write him a love song, but if he knows that someone helped you the words may lose their meaning as he may believe they aren't yours.

Question

How do I make a song for someone I like that never notices me?

Community Answer

The same way you'd write a song for someone that does know you. And if you decide to show the lyrics or sing the song to them, they'll end up noticing you anyway!

Question

How do I make a love song that is not too serious and funny?

Community Answer

Avoid anything overly romantic. Try to include funny things that they have done or you have done together. Make it unusual and creative so it sticks in their mind.

Question

Is it okay if I butcher the melody of one of my favorite songs in order to make it sound original?

Community Answer

Yes. Just make sure it is far enough from the original that it is not plagiarism.

Question

What love song could I use to express my love to my crush?

Community Answer

Try to find one that you think feels the closest to your heart. If you cannot find one, try to write your own. Try to find a song you can use instrumental for, and then add words!

Question

How do I write my crush a song if I'm not an open person?

Community Answer

Write the song and sing it to my friend while my crush is near. If your crush does not know that you like him/her then before you sing just say "this song is for my crush..." and then sing the song to your friend while your crush is near.

Question

What if you have so many feelings you don't know how to express them all in a song?

Community Answer

Just list some of your feelings out and pick out the ones you want to put in the song. Your crush would love to hear some of the ones that you picked out.

Question

If I like a song, can I borrow parts of it to write a love song for my crush?

Community Answer

That would be copyright infringement, and anyway, I bet your crush would rather have something that came from your heart, not somebody else's. You can take inspiration from other songs, but don't borrow from them directly.

Question

What if you want your crush to sing with you?

Give your crush a copy of the lyrics and teach them the melody. Not only will this help them to sing with you, it could be a great opportunity to spend more time together!
