So what comes first song lyrics or creating melody? How do you do this to a beat? I picked a beat or track as they say. I write lyrics. Then I’m stuck. I never record or do anything with those lyrics. So to stop self sabotaging myself do I need learn melody or vocal production to figure how and what places in the best to sing and time those lyrics ?

Baby doll Siren I’m currently looking for this. Can’t come up with the right terminology to ask a question but nothing fucking comes up. Very frustrating. I have a a couple songs in the mix and need vocal melody over it or the vocals and I can’t come up with anything that’s not monotonous or repetitive
