The Lyric CEO: Auditing Your Lyrical Assets

Quantify the value of your creative choices.

This 3-day challenge reframes lyric editing as a business function. You will invest time as a capital asset, use AI to create workflow efficiencies, and evaluate your lyrical work based on its commercial and brand-building potential.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Timebox one hour. Take the lyrics for an unreleased song and edit them ruthlessly. At the end of the hour, write one sentence answering: 'By how much did this hour of work increase the song's potential sync value?'
  2. Day 2Build a simple efficiency workflow using an AI tool. Use an AI transcriber to create a lyric sheet from a phone recording. Time how long this takes. Compare it to how long it would have taken to do it manually. This is your calculated time-savings.
  3. Day 3Review the newly edited lyrics from Day 1. Identify the single line with the highest emotional resonance. Now, think like a CEO. Is this line better used as a social media bio, a t-shirt slogan, or a sync pitch? Justify your choice.
