1 Which song structure has proven successful in popular music? One of the most popular and at the same time most accessible song structures consists of the parts verse, chorus and bridge. An intro often serves as an introduction to the song. The goal is to grab the listener‘s attention, be it with a gripping groove, catchy vocals or by introducing a hookline from the chorus.
