How are songs put togather? What is the process?

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

In commercial songs, music is composed first. and then lyrics, cause its easier that way.

In fact, Veer Zara is an open example of that. Music was written many many years ago by now a dead musician

Lyrics were added later.

There are exceptions though

Ghazal singing is that exception, where already written poetry is picked and music is composed for that.
