Make a plan

Add there a theme of your song, buy some lyrics if you can’t come up with it yourself, then make sure you have a good instrumental for the theme you have picked and also have good equipment to record yourself. After all, you will need a good sound engineer, who will mix your voice with a beat. If you want to publish your song as a single, be ready to get some cover art for your track and prepare social fields to drop your music there. After you get everything checked, go to the next step.
