Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to share with you all some tips on the best methods on how to write a Christian song that everyone will love. 

Let’s get into it.

Write slow songs

So it’s a little known fact in the music industry that slow songs are the best songs that you could write. 

There are people who specialize in writing pump music that gets your blood flowing and your heart rate up.

Especially dance music. 

But if you really want to make a hit that people will love, write slow songs. 

The reason for this is that it’s easier for a person to digest what they’re listening to if the song is slow. 

This is not to say that you can’t use 8th notes or 16th notes, but having a slow BPM with simple chord constructions and simple melodies is really what gets the crowd to love your song. 

So slow songs for the win.

Talk about love when you first start writing songs

Believe it or not, there is a reason why love songs in pop music are the most influential pieces of music. 

To us as humans, it’s actually really easy to write about love.

There is something about love that it’s just an understandable topic to talk about. 

So when you first start out, talk about love from a Godly perspective. 

Talk about love from the perspective that God is love. Talk about the love that Jesus had for us when he died on the cross. 

Talk about love from the fact that God is love. 

And what you’ll find is that your first few songs will sound cliche, but it’s okay because you’re not going to publish the first songs that you ever made, hopefully. 

And if you will then let me know because that’s a serious accomplishment. 

Make Simple chord progressions

So your chords should be simple but not too simple. 

Stick your chords between 2 and 4 chords and then repeat back to the first chord that you played. 

This is actually the way that you’re supposed to make a hit pop chord progression. 

I’ve see diamond albums that revolve around this theory so don’t think that it’s overplayed because it might be overplayed but it still works. 

Start low and end high in the chorus

So the common melody theory in music theory is that you are supposed to start at a lower pitch for the verses and then end in a high melody for the chorus. 

And then to break that melody theory into smaller segments, you would make every line like a hook and save your best hooks for the chorus. 

You should know that your best hooks are going to be between 1 and 3 notes long.

There are such thing as 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8 note hooks, but the strongest ones are going to be between 1 and 3 notes long. 

So start low and end high in the chorus saving your 1 to 3 note hooks for the chorus
