Follow The 75/25 Chorus Rule

The 75/25 chorus rule dictates that roughly 75% of your songs should BEGIN with the chorus.

When we say begin, we mean that the chorus should be the first vocals that the listener hears.

There are three main reasons this is a crucial songwriting tip for rappers who want to make catchy songs:

Easy To Remember = Catchy
First, if a future fan of your song can easily remember the most well-known part of your track – the chorus (also known as the hook) – they are much more likely to call it “catchy”.

Whereas us as rappers really dive into the science of rapping and bars, the fan who will will spend their entire savings on your concerts, streams, and merch often will simply define a “hit” by if they think it’s catchy a.k.a. memorable on the first listen (or not).

What better way to be seen as memorable and catchy than introducing them to the most repeated and repeatable part of the song from the very start of the track?

If Fans Can Repeat It, They Can Remember It
And that right there is the second reason. If someone has heard the most iconic part of the song from the very beginning, by the time they’ve hit the end of verse 1…

They’re actually going to be listening to your chorus a 2ND TIME because you’ve already begun the song with the first chorus.

The best part? Fans don’t even notice this simple song structure trick because they spent the beginning of the song just getting in the mood and waiting for the verse to start.

We bet you didn’t notice that of 18 musical tracks on 50 Cent’s legendarily catchy and soon-to-be diamond selling album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’…

A full 13 of them (72%) start with the chorus (including all of the singles such as “In Da Club”, “21 Questions”, and “Many Men”).
