# Writing better music Incorporate moments that make the melody truly special. Make sure rhythmically and melodically there is enough repetition to make the song easy to sing and remember. Write in a range that allows the singer to truly shine. Pick a fresh groove to work with.[^1] Differentiate the melody of each section. Create contrasts between the verses and choruses. Create an instrumental hook. Add instrumentation and production that sets your song apart.[^2] [^1]: [Are Your Songs “WOW”—or Just “Good?”: A Checklist | The Weekly | BMI.com](https://www.bmi.com/news/entry/are-your-songs-wowor-just-good-a-checklist) [^2]: [The #1 Mistake Writers and Artists Make | MusicWorld | BMI.com](https://www.bmi.com/news/entry/the-1-mistake-writers-and-artists-make)
