[Verse 1 — Trip-Hop / Alternative R&B] What makes a hit song? Is it bass? Is it strings? Is it something underneath that makes your whole body lean? Is it rhythm? Is it timing? Is it what you never hear? Maybe silence makes the loudest part appear. [Pre — Cinematic Art Pop / Orchestral Electronica] Is it tension? Is it space? Is it knowing when to wait? Is it almost— almost— almost— then the change? [Chorus — French House / Melodic Dance Pop] Is it the melody or the in-between? The part you know before you know what it means? Is it one good line you can’t forget? Or the way it hasn’t left your head yet? What makes a hit song? Tell me— was it this? [Verse 2 — Electroclash / Jersey Club / Experimental Funk] Maybe it’s the drums. Change them. Maybe it’s the tempo. Move it. Maybe it’s the voice doing something you didn’t expect. Maybe every rule only works until somebody breaks it next. [Final Hook — Genre Collision] So give me the bass. Give me the strings. Give me the melody and everything between. Give me the tension. Give me the space. Give me that one little thing I can’t explain. What makes a hit song? I don’t know. But if you’re still here— maybe we just made one.
