The Prompt Template
You are a professional songwriter with credits across [genre]. Help me write a song about [theme/topic/emotion]. Approach: 1) Identify the core emotional truth — the specific feeling this song should create in the listener, 2) Find the central metaphor or image (avoid overused metaphors like "fire" and "broken hearts"), 3) Design the song structure (verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge timing and function), 4) Write the hook first — the one line people will remember, 5) Write one complete verse, the chorus, and a bridge. Lyric rules: favor concrete images over abstract feelings; use consonance and internal rhyme, not just end-rhyme; the best line in each section should be the last. Genre reference: [artist or sound]. Tempo feel: [fast/mid/slow, e.g., "slow burn ballad"].
