1. A classic shape: Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus, Outro.
  2. Let each part add something: a new instrument, a harmony, a busier beat.
  3. A bridge is a break from the pattern — new chords, fewer instruments, or a different feel.
  4. The last chorus can be the biggest: everything in, maybe a little faster (Tempo & levels).
  5. End on purpose: a fade-out, or stop the beat and let the last chord ring.
