"Bubblegum Renegade" - Songwriting Process (Patreon)

Behind-the-scenes explanation of how I wrote the song "Bubblegum Renegade". This song is a riff on a very niche subgenre of crappy 50s/60s ballads and the weird amount of musical theater that seems to accompany them.

Whenever I start writing a song I always use one specific melody or lyric I'm really attached to and build from there, but this time there were like five false starts because I accidentally kept ripping things off. This behind-the-scenes is basically roasting myself, haha.
