How are songs put togather? What is the process?

Re: How are songs put togather? What is the process?

yeah...it was chehra by PS and dil dil pakistan was written by nisar nasik [sp]...rest were by shoaib mansoor.

UKAJ, national anthem is not a commercial bolly-lolly-tolly-jolly-dolly-polly-hollywood gana so that can not be considered as a supportive example or comment. from wht i've seen [and this applies to lollywood only] lyrics are penned first according to the situation and then music is composed. in certain cases poet alters the already written lyrics to fit the movie situation. to use already composed music or tunes for movies is not something producers / directors like unless its an out-of-this-world tune. two songs that i can think of are dekha jo chehra tera [ghonghat] and karan main nazara [chooriyan or nikki jaye han] were written to an already composed tune. the music was originally composed for movies which were never completed and thus music was never used.
