As you are playing around with melody and phrasing for the lyrics, also consider:

1. TEMPO
It starts in a half-time at 60bpm and then doubles to 120 bpm when the song picks up.

— Does the tempo match the feel of the lyrics?
— Do you have enough time to sing the lyrics?
— Are there any places that need more space, either for phrasing or emphasis? If so, mark which ones.

2. STYLE & INSTRUMENTATION
You would be amazed how spacious chords can sound when other things are added around them. Or how just one sound can establish a genre. Just because one instrument is simple or spacious doesn't mean everything else has to be. There could be a more intricate guitar or drum part that provides a 'motor' (or foundational moving element) throughout. Plus, the sound of the instrument we decide to use can shift the direction of the style.

Think about:

— What style would you like this to be in?
— What sounds or instruments are used in that style?
— Can you find an example of those sounds in other songs?
— Can you find an example of a drumbeat you like in another song, as a reference?

3. TITLE & HOOK
— What do you think this song should be called?
— Is there anything that feels like a hook?
— Are you hearing any ways that we could emphasize the hook more?
