Lyric writing is the craft of composing the words to a song, focusing on rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and emotional storytelling that fits a melody or musical structure. Songwriters develop skills in metaphor, verse-chorus structure, and phrasing to convey ideas concisely within the constraints of a song's meter and hooks. It's practiced by musicians, poets, and professional songwriters across genres from pop to hip-hop to country.
