A Matter of Length

If you want to hear your songs on the radio, keep them short. Two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half minutes is considered the ideal length for a single. Longer songs get recorded, but it’s usually the shorter ones that get on the air. Try timing your songs as soon as you have a verse and chorus; this can help you set up a structure that has space for the necessary information while keeping a reasonable length. Remember, if everything is in place and a song is too short, you can add a solo. A good exercise is to try writing a one-minute song that tells an entire story.
