Successful Songwriting - Time spent within each song component

One important aspect to writing a song, which is often not given enough consideration, is the time spent within each song component. Something you'll commonly find in a hit song is the consistent amount of time throughout a song. Here is the current breakdown for the amount of time within each song.

1. Intro: 12 seconds
2. Verse: 30-35 seconds
3. Pre-Chorus: 8-10 seconds
4. Chorus: 17-30 seconds
5. Bridge: 10-20 seconds
6. Chorus should begin between 30-60 seconds after the song starts. Preferably closer to 30 seconds.
7. Overall Song Length: 3:00-3:30 minutes

Happy songwriting!
