The Weeknd Reveals How to Write a Hit Song in 8 Minutes!

ice spice songwriting genius? :D loll

Here's how to actually write a Hit song, since the Title baited us all here.
1) Make it about universal Human Experiences. In the Case of The Weeknd, Love.
2) Use Simplistic Rhyme Schemes.
3) Match each line that rhymes down to the syllable as far as flow.
4) Make it bright and dancy, in the sound of whatever is Popular that year.
5) Repeat, and keep releasing singles and promoting yourself.

We can't all be as Talented as The Weeknd, but you can know the forumula. Artists who use it vary vastly, and it's applicable no matter what Year, or Decade you may be in.

9 mins and 37 seconds**

Thank you

I like to write songs but I can’t sing well. I seek inspiration from my childhood experiences that I think others can relate to, or just choose a title and write a song around the title.

In 8 minutes 😂😂😂 try 8 years

Thank you so much I was able to
produce rock star by Smash Mouth with this video

its not clickbait, the mindset is what it takes

had to revisit this as an artist working on my 4th upcoming album JAPAN PART THREE, so many gems on how to navigate the music business and write the best songs that connect with audiences worldwide, thank you for this and shoutout to one of my fav artists and inspirations The Weeknd and his team since the beginning - with gratitude, LaynoProd

Not one tip or lesson about how to write a song. At ALL.

nigga did u just compare abel to ice spice

This video tough me

Its easy focus on promiscuity, overly sexualized, nihilistic behaviour and the maso industry will promote it to the hilt. Because they know urbans will buy it and promote it and defend it and emulate it because they have no culture only promiscuity & nihilism.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!😂😂😂😂

Forget 8 minutes...how about one word. Belly. Most of his songs are written by Belly, and XO artist.

I really thought this was Trevor Noah 😂

Write songs bc u want it
Not bc u want a hit song
That’s shallow
Why would u write a song for all these npcs out there

Video is cool in the end it ruin the vibe vy mentioning ice spice name

This video is really helpful and inspiring ty!

for anyone who is watching and getting confused , this video has nothing to do with songwriting ! just saved u some time (:

Lol! Weird alright.

wait.. This isnt Trevor Noah?

Great until you brought up Ice Spice being a "songwriting Genius"

making a hit is easy if you're the weeknd

I'm still struggling to make a song

his voice is so cute lmao

Don’t forget to sell your soul to the devil and promote garbage music that poisons the minds of the listener

Animated person with a mask,how stupid. Did you know: GOD OF THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE CREATED EVERYTHING ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO. NO SUCH THING AS EVOLUTION AND BILLIONS OF YEARS OF AGO. DINOSAURS LIVED WITH MAN. FOLLOW ASTROPHYSICIST DR JASON LISLE✝️

Title is click bait but this video is cool.

why with a cov1d mask?? :/

i had goosebumps for this video, your words really got me!!!! im pursuing my dream of succeeding in the music industry, my music isn’t in english im sorry :(, bro keep making videos like this you have an amazing way of saying the correct words

omg im in the right track

This video applies to life lessons in general, not just writing songs. It uses The weekend's life as an example. Your welcome.

Wow...absolutely corny advice, fantasy talk and cliche success secrets. Success is a combo of talent, hard work, and just plain luck. Luck is a huge factor, which is always underestimated.

he inspired me to become an artist not a singer hes an artist

~🦾⭐⭐⚡💡👑.. I already know what to do

I just need the money...LOL

I know exactly where to put it...

And I need to build a team and connection with someone in the industry with rank...

I would go by myself but since everybody knows who I am and I was planning on entering the game quietly but some invisible hater letting everybody know who I am before I get there....lolol...

Now I gotta link with people who have strong leverage in the music industry and I gotta pay for protection in the Street to walk freely...lol... and pay for Legal Armed Security Team to protect the business out in public...lolol... Whoever U are invisible hater, thanks a lot...lololol...But I'm happy U recognize my HitRecord-StarPower Ability...cuz for long I thought I was the only one who recognized it...lololol...1LOVE

The Weeknd literally wrote an amazing album My Dear Melancholy In 3 weeks what an artist👏👏

I thought this was going to be about The Weeknd spending 8 minutes talking about how to make a hit song…
