Your song should always have a hook. Either a lyrical hook (like a clever rhyme, a wise message, an honest admission), or a melodic hook (can be facilitated through a good guitar riff).

Having a hook is really what makes a song memorable, and gives it an identity. Without a hook, the song typically sounds vague and wishy washy, and like a million other budding acoustic singer/songwriters songs that get posted on Youtube.

It takes time and practice, but having faith in what you've written, and singing your song with confidence and conviction is also a valuable skill.
