Miley Cyrus PARODY)

So...I've noticed that the [Chorus], [Refrain], [Hook], and [Bridge] tags tend to get used incorrectly sometimes. This was something that even I wasn't entirely sure about. So I've gone and done some educative research about them in order to possibly spread some awareness on Genius about how to correctly use them.ChorusChoruses are commonly used in Pop songs, they appear and are repeated after each verse they usually build up the intensity and contrast the rest of the song. They are also the main emphasis for the meaning of the song and the music usually has a noticeable change.The title of the song is usually said within the Chorus and Refrain. Examples: "Shape of You" by Ed SheeranI'm in love with the shape of you We push and pull like a magnet do Although my heart is falling too I'm in love with your body And last night you were in my room And now my bedsheets smell like you Every day discovering something brand new I'm in love with your body Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I I'm in love with your body Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I I'm in love with your body Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I I'm in love with your body Every day discovering something brand new I'm in love with the shape of you"Attention" by Charlie PuthYou just want attention, you don't want my heart Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you, ohRefrainRefrains are basically a chorus but with a few minor differences. They are typically much shorter and contain a small set of phrases that are repeated and there is no melodic buildup. The title of the song is usually said within the Chorus and Refrain. Examples: "iSpy" by KyleOh I, I spy with my little eye I spy, I spy with my little eye Oh I, I spy with my little eye I spy, I spy with my little eye Oh I..."And They Say" by Chance The RapperAnd they say nanananana nanananana Nanananananananana nanananana nananananaHookThe Hook is quite simple, it's the catchy part of the song, it's the part you get "HOOKED" on, the part that is most memorable and extremely attention-grabbing, they are very common in Hip-Hop songs. NOTE: Genius Standards require you to use “Chorus” instead of “Hook”! Examples: "Fancy" by DrakeOh, you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy huh? Nails done, hair done, everything did Nails done, hair done, everything did Oh, you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy huh? You—you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy huh? Nails done, hair done, everything did Nails done, hair done, everything did Oh, you fancy huh?"Hey Ya" by OutKastHey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya!BridgeThe Bridge is commonly found in a "thirty-two-bar" song and is essentially the part of the song that links two sections together with a sharp contrast in tune, there should only be one bridge in the overall structure of a tune and a bridge is typically 8-bars. The bridge is commonly confused with the refrain, the easiest way to tell them apart is if there is only one Refrain it should actually be a Bridge. Examples "Good Life" by Kanye WestYo, it's got to be cause I'm seasoned Haters give me them salty looks, Lawry's 50 told me, go 'head, switch the style up And if they hate then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up The good life"Party in the U.S.A." By Miley CyrusFeel like hopping on a flight Back to my hometown tonight Something stops me every time The DJ plays my song and I feel alrightDisclaimer: A lot of artists do not adhere to these standards and musical forms so just try your best to use the tags as coherently as possible. @music @rap-genius @pop-genius @country-genius @transcribers @genius-editorial-board @genius-moderationSources: One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Nine - Ten
