Tip 7

A melody doesn’t always start as a masterpiece. Sometimes, it’s a single note that refuses to leave you alone.

The secret to a catchy melody isn’t perfection—it’s hook and heartbeat. A great melody has a shape your ear can follow, like a path through the dark. It rises, falls, and repeats just enough to make it familiar without giving it all away. Hum it. Whistle it. Sing it wrong until it feels right.


✨ Don’t chase clever. Chase what sticks.
