Melodic Math: A Framework For Writing Hit Songs

We've analyzed the techniques behind 100s of Billboard #1 hits from producers like Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Shellback. The patterns are remarkably consistent.

These producers use what we call "Melodic Math" - a set of tools (not rules!) that show up across their biggest tracks for Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, and many more.

The goal? Understanding why certain songs work and how to craft hooks that stick.

What's actually in the book:

• The Borrowing Technique - How top writers "steal" melodic building blocks, but transform them into something completely unique. Max Martin famously borrows from everything from ABBA to heavy metal.

• The Secret Pop Rhythm Pattern - Why certain melodic rhythms feel instantly familiar. We break down the specific syncopations patterns that appear in nearly every hit song chorus.

• Melodic Centers & Money Notes - How hit melodies orbit around focal points, using their harmonic relationship to the chord progression to elicit a deliberate emotional response that keeps the listener hooked.

• Phonetics as a Songwriting Tool - Why certain words sound better in melodies. The relationship between consonants, vowels, and groove that Swedish writers obsess over.

• Maximalist Minimalism - Using fewer elements to create bigger impact. Why most hits use only 3-4 chords but feel complex and interesting.

• Sequential vs Simultaneous Contrast - Creating tension and release both within sections and across song structures. The push-pull that keeps listeners engaged.

Also covered:

• Non-musical concepts that matter: Work ethic, perfectionism, collaboration dynamics, and the "jack of all trades" mentality that
separates the greatest-of-all-time songwriters from the rest.

• Why vocals matter more than everything else (and specific production techniques for making them shine)

• Rhythm patterns including syncopation, note duration, and strategic use of silence

• Repetition structures and when each works best

• Song structure secrets to get the most out of your hooks

• Metarhythm and metachords - the hidden layers of movement in music
