## Scored Like the Industry Scores

Melody, lyrics, structure, commercial appeal — rated on the standards that actually matter.

01 

Overall Score The holistic assessment — not an average. How does everything come together as a listening experience? 

02 

Song Title

Hook value, memorability, and searchability. Does the title make someone want to press play?

03 

Top Line

Does your opening lyrics set the stage for the rest of the song, and compel the listener to keep listening?

04 

Lyrics

Imagery, structure, emotional resonance. Are the words doing real work, or filling space?

05 

Arrangement

Song structure, flow, dynamics, and transitions. Does the song build? Does the bridge earn its place?

06 

Production

Mix quality, sonic choices, and production polish. For demos, this becomes your production roadmap.

07 

Commercial Potential

Market readiness, playlist fit, and industry appeal — or artistic impact, depending on your chosen lens.

## What the Scores Mean

No song is perfect. But every song deserves an honest number.

90–99 

Exceptional — Industry-grade craft. Eligible for Showcase and Radio Airplay. 

80–89 

Very Strong — Minor refinements away from greatness. Rock-solid foundation. 

70–79 

Solid — Competent but missing that spark of distinctiveness. 

60–69 

Promising — The bones are there. Clear potential with clear gaps. 

<60 

Needs Rethinking — Time to step back and rebuild from the ground up. 

## No Sugar-Coating. No Cheerleading. Just Your Real Score.

Every songwriter steps up to the plate thinking their song is ready. But without a real score, you're just guessing. Song Refiners gives you an honest, professional evaluation — rated on the same standards the music industry actually uses.
