3. Answer the questions in the music. This is when it starts making sense. Take one of the questions and answer it in the verse. Try to either build lyrics or musical elements (if instrumental) to start answering that question. An example would be a question of “what caused this to happen?” could be answered by lyrics that bring in a backstory to why your crying on the floor. You know… classic love lost.

Then take another question for the chorus and use that section to answer it. This is an easy way to start building a story and context.
