Why this song?
“Halo” recorded by Beyoncé is a huge Pop hit that has lasted the test of time and continues to pile up listens at Spotify—over a billion at the time I write this. It’s a great example of a big power ballad with a simple, repeating four-chord progression, a killer melody, and an uplifting lyric.
A lot of songwriters I know love to write songs and lyrics in this style, so let’s see what we can learn from success!
