How to Give Helpful Feedback on Your Lyric Draft
Your lyric draft is your moment to shape the story.
If you’re seeing an early version of your lyrics, that means your artist is inviting you into the process—before they head into the studio. Use this window to clarify any key details and help the final version hit just right.
Here’s what kind of feedback is most helpful:
✅ “Can you include our daughter’s name in the second verse?”
✅ “This part feels too formal—can it sound more like how we actually talk?”
✅ “Love the chorus! Just wondering if the timeline is slightly off.”
What to avoid:
⛔ Rewriting the full song
⛔ Changing the entire tone or message
⛔ Asking for things not in your original request
Your artist is a pro—they’ll take your ideas and make sure they still flow beautifully and sing naturally. Don’t stress about word choice or rhyme—that’s their job. Just tell us how it feels and what’s most important to you, and we’ll take it from there.
