Hook & Title Crafting
💭 Why the Hook and Title Matter
Every great song has two things that make it unforgettable: a Hook that grabs the ear, and a Title that stays in the heart. The hook is the line people hum, repeat, and remember. The title is the name they search for, share, and talk about. Together, they give your song its soul and identity.
🌟 1. Creating a Memorable Title
A good title should be simple, emotional, and true to your message. It doesn’t have to be clever or complicated — just real.
🪶 Example:
Instead of calling a song “I Miss You So Much,” try “Where You Said Goodbye.” The second one feels personal — it paints a picture and invites curiosity. Likewise, instead of “Love Forever,” something like “You and the Moon” feels poetic and unique. It suggests a story and connects with emotion.
💡 Tip:
Your title doesn’t always need to appear in the chorus. What matters is that it reflects the heart of the song in just a few words.
🎶 2. Building a Catchy or Emotional Hook
The Hook is the heartbeat of your song — the short line that repeats, the one people can’t stop singing.There are two main types:
- Catchy hooks — easy to remember, playful, rhythmic.
- Emotional hooks — deep, heartfelt, and moving.
🎵 Catchy examples: “I got a feeling, that tonight’s gonna be a good night.” “Baby, you light up my world like nobody else.”
🎵 Emotional examples: “I will always love you.” “Hello from the other side.”
💡 Pro Tip:
A great hook feels like something you’d naturally say in conversation — only more musical and full of emotion.
🪶 Bangla example: “তুই না থাকলে পৃথিবীটা ফাঁকা লাগে।” Short, simple, and deeply relatable — perfect hook material.
✍️ 3. Practice — Write Five Strong Hooks
Now it’s your turn. Choose five emotions — love, heartbreak, hope, regret, and freedom. For each one, write one single line that could serve as a hook.
🎵 Example:
“You’re gone, but your voice still stays.”
“The sky remembers what I forget.”
“Love doesn’t end — it just changes its name.”
“I found peace in your silence.”
“We were a song that never finished.”
💡 Bonus Tip:
Say each line aloud. If it sounds powerful when spoken, it will sound beautiful when sung.
🌟 In Short
The Title is your song’s identity.
The Hook is your song’s heartbeat.
Keep them short, honest, and emotionally true.
When you write a hook that listeners can’t forget, you’ve created something timeless. 🎶
