The hook that sticks

Genre is the style of music - pop, hip-hop, country, rock, whatever you love.

Your hook has to live inside a genre, so choose one now.

Type the genre you want your hook to live in.

Mood is the feeling - happy, heartbroken, hyped, chill, dark.

The same words hit totally different in a happy song than in a sad one.

Type the mood you want people to feel.

Era is the most powerful lever most people never touch.

A 1980s hook sounds nothing like a 2020s one - big synths and reverb vs dry, close, punchy drums.

Type a decade for your sound, like 1980s, 1990s, or 2020s.

Now write your hook - one line about one thing you actually feel.

Keep it tiny: 5 to 8 words, easy to sing, one clear picture or feeling.

Do not aim for perfect. Just get your first version down.

Real writers draft first, then sharpen. Let a pro topline writer help.

Open ChatGPT, paste the prompt, and read the 3 sharper versions it gives you.

Pick your favorite (tweak it if you want) and type the keeper here.

Repetition is why hooks stick - your brain loves a line it can guess before it lands.

Add an echo: a short answer line right after your hook, like a crowd shouting back.

Type one short echo line (3 to 5 words) that answers your hook.

The voice sells the hook. Producers name the character, the delivery, and the effect.

Example: 'raspy male tenor, emotional delivery, dry close-mic' or 'bright female pop vocal, playful, layered harmonies'.

Type the singer you hear in your head.

Here is the trick: a chorus repeats your hook so it drills into memory.

We just built your recipe - a Style line plus a Chorus that hits your hook three times with your echo in the middle.

Copy it. This is a real Suno prompt, made entirely of your choices.

Open Suno, start a new song in Custom mode, and paste your recipe.

The Style line goes in the style box; the [Chorus] lyrics go in the lyrics box.

Hit create, listen, and check if you sing your own hook back.

You made something real. Save the card that shows off your hook.

Tap save to keep your hook, your style, and your track name in one place.

This is proof you can write a line that actually sticks.

Post your track and your hook card on the class wall.

Tag it #GLUNTY so we can find it and hear your line.

Then the real flex: get one friend to sing your hook back to you.
