HOW TO WRITE A SONG LIKE SZA | Alt R&B songwriting

[@barnabasstewart4104]

I feel like Sza's song 'Good Days' is a literal poem. The lyrics are absoultely amazing. By far, one of my favorite songs period.

[@Effyze]

The writting sounds so SZA

[@ericg8012]

shihhh u sound better then them singing them songs , AND YOU CAME UP WITH IT CAUSE MOST THEM GIRLS DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO WRITE THEY OWN MUSIC AND KILL IT LIKE THIS , keep it up 💯🙏🏼

[@haielll]

I am very mind blown on how fast you came up with your hooks lol 🤭 you also have a very beautiful voice. Thank you for this video! I will say one thing I struggle with is actually letting the beat breathe and trying to add too much stuff in at once, but this video has helped me ❤

[@irisilani]

TY for watching! 💖

[@Effyze]

The Adlibs were soo SZAAAA
