In our group for songwriting, we had a discussion and gave ideas of what our song should be about. Since Erica wasn't in that week, we had decided to wait until next week to decide what our song should be about. So, I had begun to play different chord progressions and ask the rest of the group weather they had liked it or wanted it to sound different. With the chords we made, we were able to make a basic verse over it.
The next week Porsha, Tami and Erica worked together to add to the lyrics that were made the week before. While they were doing this, I was trying to make a chord sequence for the chorus. I had some difficulty as I couldn't think of a rhythm that was different from the verse. We practised as a band but there seemed to be a gap between the verse and the chorus, so our goal for next week was the singers to go away and make lyrics that could we could use as a pre chorus.
The week after, we worked on the pre chorus and managed to use some parts of each others lyrics. Tami had written the second verse to the song so we also worked on changing it slightly so it can fit with the rhythm of the chords and make it in time. At the end of the week, we had made the whole song with the chords.
We then kept running through the song until we were able to do it with out mistakes.
