- Try using your song's first line as its last line, too. A lot of times you'll find yourself looking for a really good way to finish your song and the simple act of resinging that first line of your song, at the end of your song can be wonderfully effective. This doesn't work for every song, but it can be a nice way to bring things full circle and leave your listener with a reminder of how far you've taken them with your lyric. In our song example, "Girl Crush" by singing the I've got a girl crush line at the beginning of the song, at about seven seconds, and at the end of the song at two minutes and 52 seconds it brings the message of the song full circle.
