The Hook Factory Sprint

Three hooks in seven days, run through the replay checklist before mixing.

Write three hooks in seven days. Each one passes the five-point replay checklist before you cut a vocal. The goal is not to write a hit this week — it is to internalize the structure so every future record is engineered.

The plan, day by day

1. Day 1Steal three reference hooks. Map title placement, melodic contour, and pre-hook.
2. Day 2 to 3Write hook one. Run the five-point replay checklist.
3. Day 4 to 5Write hook two. Run the checklist.
4. Day 6 to 7Write hook three. Pick the strongest and demo it.
