Twitter Card: summary_large_image OG Image (16:9): REPLACE_VIP_OG_IMAGE_URL Image Alt (max 125): VIP Hook Architecture and Chorus Punch system for AI songwriting on dark background VIP Deep Dive • Lyric Engineering #4 • Structure & Punch This system teaches you how to design a hook. Not shorten it. Not tweak it. Design it. Focus Anchor architecture • Escalation control • Punch calibration Purpose Build hooks that land clean and stay strong across repeats Part 1: Hook Architecture Framework Every strong hook has structure. If structure is missing, repetition feels flat. Layer Function Core Anchor The main phrase listeners remember Reinforcement Same idea, slightly expanded Escalation Raises stakes or emotional intensity Echo (Optional) Short repeat for memorability Rule One clear anchor. Everything else supports it. Part 2: Anchor Compression Most hooks begin as long emotional sentences. Compression extracts the anchor. Original: I feel like I’m finally breaking free from everything holding me back Core extraction: Breaking free Hook line: I’m breaking free Target 4–6 strong words for the anchor line. Part 3: Chorus Punch Calibration A four-line hook should build and land. Line Job 1 Introduce anchor 2 Reinforce 3 Escalate 4 Return and land Mistake Repeating the same line four times without escalation. Part 4: Fatigue Prevention Repetition builds memory. Uncontrolled repetition builds boredom. I break the chains I break the chains tonight These chains won’t hold me I break the chains Control Keep anchor stable. Vary support lines. Part 5: Structural Validation Tests 5-Second Recall: Read once. Look away. Repeat it. Breath Test: Can the anchor be said in one breath? End-Word Test: Does the line end on a strong word? Clarity Test: One idea only? If two fail Compress the anchor. Remove extra ideas. Hook Architecture Blueprint Module 1: Anchor Builder Module 2: 4-Line Punch Planner Module 3: Architecture Prompt TASK: Design a chorus hook using anchor architecture. RULES: - Identify a 4–6 word anchor phrase. - Build reinforcement and escalation. - Return to anchor at close. - Keep one core idea. - Ensure strong line endings. OUTPUT: 1) Final 4-line hook 2) Anchor phrase 3) Why escalation works Pro FAQ What if my hook feels strong but flat? It lacks escalation. Add one line that raises stakes before returning to anchor. Should every hook use all four layers? No. Minimal hooks can use anchor + echo only. Structure should fit the track. What’s next after architecture?
