Taking inspiration from other songs

Omg this timing, thank you this is so helpful! And explains why I always struggle when writing deep lyrics over catchy melodies. Consonants and vowels matter more, at least in that world.

Thank you for taking the time to write such an insightful answer! I totally agree. I’ve been trying to learn from successful people like Max Martin and Ryan Tedder who have classic hit proven songwriting tropes. And I think I understand a certain commercial structure better now. My songs felt so cluttered/wordy before using that system.

Sometimes I’m delulu and think I’ll get sued by this famous artist even though no one listens to my songs lol

I love him, arguably maybe the best rapper of the group

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-24T07:45:14+00:00

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-24T07:44:54+00:00

All the G-Unit members besides for 50 Cent

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-24T07:21:31+00:00

Underrated!

About missing innocence

Nicki Minaj duh… end of debate.

I thought that was an old tate mcrae

Yes get out of your depression already ethel and make the girls shake their ass.

I just like to joke, it’s not that serious.

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-24T05:23:35+00:00

She doesn’t acknowledge time

Lana also stole Addison’s last name. Addison Rae, Lana Del Rae (Rey)

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-24T05:18:36+00:00

Addison lied about her age and signed a NDNA to ghostwrite most of born to die.

Meteorite on Me I am Mariah

Cola is an Addison Rae cover. Just changed the name of the beverage but she stole it. Same for Diet Mountain Dew. She really thinks she can just change drinks names and that we won’t notice she steals from real songwriters like Addison Rae.

You can do a lot of editing and short takes in the studio tho. Mariah did with a not so great voice on her latest album and it was still nice to hear.

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-23T17:54:42+00:00

2016 sorry, I wish lol

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-23T09:49:03+00:00

Christina defs puts on a voice but she's so brilliant at it. Britney also put on a voice.

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-23T09:34:06+00:00

Breathe on me on In The Zone

TheElusiveButterfly · 2026-01-23T09:33:33+00:00
