In a simple black-and-white notebook page, someone carefully mapped out the emotional blueprint of songwriting — not with rigid music theory, but with instinct, experience, and honesty.

the Verse, which is kept light “not too much backup vocals.” It sets the tone, the story, the space where the emotion slowly builds. If you choose to add a Pre-Chorus, the note says, “nice but not necessary.” It reminds you that music is flexible; you don’t always have to follow the rules.
Then comes the heart of the song the Chorus. Written in bold, framed for importance. Tips like “say the name of the song (it helps)” and “catchy! catchy! catchy!” highlight what the chorus truly is.. the emotional core, the part we all sing along to in the car.

In this photo, we’re not 5SOS, the band. We’re just four boys who chose to stay, even when the world kept trying to pull us apart.
And if you look close, you’ll see that we’re still those same kids who started this thing in a garage • only now we carry more stories behind our smiles.
