One of my favorite ways to start a song is to start with a lyric concept. The concept might be something like “Hey, has anyone ever written a song about their relationship with their cat?“ Or, “Is there some songwriting angle about having a BFF that hasn’t been covered yet?” Or how about a lyric from the point of view of a homeless person?

If the concept seems solid to me, the next thing I will usually try to do is figure out a title that emerges from that concept, or maybe I will try to write a chorus.

Hope that helps!

Great article!
