Write the Songs You Hear in Your Head — tween songwriting studio where the lyric is the protagonist; form scaffolds + on-device rhyme/meter + AI Socratic lyric collaborator (Pip).

Level 1

Lyric Lab

Write a song one line at a time. As you type, a live meter shows the syllables in each line, an automatic rhyme-scheme map labels your lines A, B, C… so you can see your pattern, and the song-form guide names each part. Soft green when a line lands on the meter, warm amber when it doesn’t — never a red mark.

Write a Verse + Chorus song The most common shape — a verse that tells the story, a chorus you sing back. Write a Verse + Chorus + Bridge song A fuller song — the bridge takes a turn before the last chorus. Write a Solo Verse One free-write verse — just the words.
