Introduction

In this research we will establish an understanding as to what constitute the success of a song. We will question the importance and significance of lyrics in the composition and overall success of a song. For practical implementation of this research historical literature will be considered.

Research Objective

The basic idea behind conducting this research is to identify the importance and significance of lyrics in songs.
