Ok, well we won’t get into all the intricacies of what is involved in making a hit song. However, there is something that is of great importance in making a hit song that most songwriters overlook. That is how marketable is your song? Sometimes you have the luck of writing a song that is just soooo great that everyone will love it, but most of the time a song is made into a hit by how well it is pushed into the market.

This can be done by writing songs that are on topics that have great marketing capabilities. Find themes for your songs that everyone identifies with; love, hate, loss, success, friends, and so on. The theme of your song is probably one of the most important parts of writing a hit song.
Another great way to make your song more marketable is to include content into your song that is searchable. I’m not saying that you have to hashtag lyrics IN you song… but you should be able to pull hashtags out of your song, for marketing. Make sure the lyric content includes content people are already searching for.
