Putting Words to Music

Songwriters aim to write lyrics that touch people's emotions that resonate with their hopes, dreams, and deepest feelings. What is the most popular theme? You guessed it love. Songwriters also try to create melodies with a hook, a catchy musical phrase that grabs the listener's attention and lingers in the mind.

Next, the songwriter usually makes a pilot recording, or demo, of the song. If the record company executives think that the song is marketable, they may offer the artist a recording contract. But if they have reservations about the singer, they may but the song for an established artist to perform.
