The chorus is the most important part of a song, which can make writing a good one... difficult. There's so many different kinds of choruses out there that it can be hard to know how to even begin, so to figure out how to write a great chorus, it can be helpful to first ask: What is a chorus for? What's the point? Once you have a handle on what you're trying to do, it becomes a lot easier to figure out how to actually do it, so let's talk about how choruses work!
