The 90+ Standard

# Good Songs Get Ignored. Great Songs Get Cut. 

In Nashville and LA, the gap between "good enough" (75) and "commercial ready" (90+) is everything. Most writers are stuck in the 70s and don't know why.

## Why Your "Good" Song Isn't Working 

Your friends say it's fire. Your mom loves it. But publishers, labels, and artists aren't calling you back. Why? Because the industry doesn't care about "good." They care about **undeniable**.

### The 70-80 Trap

Your melody is catchy, but your lyrics are cliché.

### The "Demo" Delusion

You think better production will fix a weak song structure. (It won't.)

### The "Yes" Men

You're surrounded by people who are too nice to tell you the truth.

> "I hated that everyone I sent my songs to gave me positive feedback. I wanted to know… What didn't they like? Song Refiners provided answers and reasons as to why. Thank you!"

— Carl B, Songwriter

## The Brutal Truth You Need to Hear 

Song Refiners isn't a compliment machine. We use advanced AI analysis—trained on hit song structures—combined with real industry standards to give you a **Commercial Score (0-100)**. We don't just give you a number. We give you a roadmap to fix it.

### Commercial Score

See exactly where your song ranks against hit standards.

### Lyric Forensics

We highlight every cliché, weak rhyme, and "filler" line.

### Melody Heatmap

See where your listener gets bored.

### Action Plan

Step-by-step instructions to move your song from a "75" to a "90+."

Sample Action Plan 

1 

Verse 2 loses momentum — try shortening the pre-chorus.

2 

Chorus hook repeats "love" 4x — swap 2 instances for sensory language. (Why: Listeners tune out repetitive abstract words.) 

3 

Bridge feels disconnected from the narrative arc — callback to Verse 1 imagery.

4 

Melody sits on one note for 8 bars — add intervallic movement on line 3.

What Writers Say

## "Simon Cowell in a Good Mood "

### Brutally Honest

It was a bitter pill to swallow… but it opened my eyes to things I missed. My song title was too similar to a popular song, and the chorus left a really good metaphor flat. I fixed it. Now I have a banger.

— Robin D.

### Money Well Spent

I've paid $100 for an hour with a song evaluator that did NOT give me this depth. There is nothing "artificial" about this insight.

— Darryl C.

### From 'Nice' to 'Legit'

Without it, 'Waiting In Oklahoma' would have been a nice song. Now, it is a legit contender for an artist to pick up and record.

— FLKEYS

## Are You Ready for the Truth? 

If you want a pat on the back, ask your friends.  
If you want a career, ask **Song Refiners**.
