I don't have a song to show you yet.

IKR! It's like those anticlimactic moments when one of the pop girls is asked about one of her rivals in her interview and we all expect her to shade that bitch down Mariah style, yet she pulls some "I love her music and she's a great artist" ****. Like **** outta here

We want y'all to battle each other 90s diva style not 10s pu$$y style

Ok, so if my song's setting takes place in a club and its plot is about meeting a new person (Which happens in clubs), does that fit the disco ball picture? Even if I don't use traditional club imagery or it doesn't read like a club song.

It was all good up until that point. If it doesn't read like a club song, it's not very fitting.

The disco ball brings clubbing, partying, dancing and having fun to mind. Love (with no club references), not so much

Buyonce please

OK! This song is too good to waste, I'm going to work to make this song to fit the theme

I never send my song to anyone who also compete in this contest

OK, let me make sure I get what the issue is

Your song is about falling in love inside a club, but the club only works as the scenery and isn't really mentioned throughout the song, right? So, for example, in the first line you let the listener know what you're about to say happened inside a club, but then you ditch the scenery and just talk about the encounter, right?

When you accidentally start reading your lyrics to the melody to another song, that's when you scrap everything and try again.


For some reason, the disco ball poses a challenge for me. I know it's supposed to be easy since disco balls are known to represent partying and fun but that concept is so tiring and cliche. I want to add a new twist and add a fresh metaphor but I sure as hell don't want to turn my song into something that's pretentious and melancholy. I don't know if upbeat songs are my thing.

I don't know if Im thinking about this too much.

Writing a quality song about partying is not impossible. It's all about how you handle it.

If the disco ball was the wrong choice for you, you can switch to another picture minus the beach and the trees which are taken.

Well
The club is mentioned in the first lines as a setting, there's a busy dance floor and crowd of people around a cold love interest, and the singer tries to push through and get the aloof guy to dance with her and acknowledge her throughout the song.

I'll push myself to overcome this writer's block.

If the club theme is consistent throughout the song, I can definitely accept the entry. If the effort to push through the crowd in the club is the main topic of the song, I'm fine with it. It's not the most direct disco ball related song obviously, but I never said being direct was a requirement

Well, if pushing doesn't work in the end, you can always switch and pick another image (minus the taken ones) until Thursday

Finished my chorus.

Why not?

TT, I feel like your clarification on the requirements is going to make this song a bit stronger and more focused, as much as a pain it will be to retool it.
