Welcome to a Eurovision Bonus Episode of Write Me A Song: A Songwriting Podcast with Edward Randell and Olivia Rafferty!
We recently wrapped up our first season of the podcast, but we couldn’t help jumping behind the mic (and the keyboard) again to bring you a special bonus episode on the world’s most famous songwriting event: the Eurovision Song Competition.
Take a listen to this week’s euro-challenge and see if you’re up to the task as well. Scroll down to read this week’s homework and the submission link.

🎵 Episode 9: Write Me A Eurovision Song
Today’s guest is Matthew Ker, better known as MaJiKer, is a songwriter, vocal producer, creative coach, and most importantly… the biggest Eurovision buff we know! He tells us what it takes to make a winning Eurovision song, and we have our own mini competition to see what we come up with.
Listen to the episode to see if we survive!
🎹 Your Songwriting Homework!
1. We want you to write a catchy song as if people don’t understand English: build your hook around easy-to-understand English words.
2. You could use the name of something famous, or repeat a phrase.
3. It has to be 3 minutes, and no longer!
4. Something interesting has to happen as we move into the final minute of the song. Key-changes are not necessary, but encouraged ;)
5. Be sincere!
6. Record it and share it with us.
