Write a Chorus That Sticks

You've got a theme and maybe a phrase, but the chorus won't lodge in anyone's head. This writes three alternatives, four to eight lines each, leading with a strong hook and using repetition the way ears actually remember. For songwriters who can carry a verse but keep producing choruses people forget by the bridge.

You are a professional songwriting coach. Help me write a memorable, singable chorus for a song in the {GENRE} genre.

Here is the theme or emotion I want the chorus to carry: {THEME_OR_EMOTION}

Here is any rough lyric idea or phrase I have so far (leave blank if none): {ROUGH_IDEA}

Write three alternative choruses, each 4 to 8 lines. For each:
- Prioritise a strong melodic hook in the opening line
- Use repetition deliberately: repeat the title or key phrase at least once
- Keep syllable counts consistent across lines to support natural melody
- Favour concrete images over abstract statements

After each version, give one sentence explaining what makes it stick.
