About this listen

The Songwriting Lab is where curious songwriters and music producers come to uncover what really makes great songs connect.

Hosted by Sound of Vim, each episode dives into a standout modern track and breaks it down — from its structure and harmony to its lyrics, production moves, and emotional DNA. You'll get a musician’s-eye view of how creative choices shape what we feel when we listen.

This isn’t about chasing formulas or quick tricks. It’s about training your ear, sharpening your creative instincts, and understanding the craft behind songs that truly resonate.

If you write, produce, or just geek out over how records are built, you’ll feel right at home here. Welcome to the Lab.

  • How Billie Eilish Turned Restraint into Release

    How Billie Eilish Turned Restraint into Release
    Feb 9 2026

    Happier Than Ever doesn’t grab you by being loud — it wins by being patient.

    In this episode of The Songwriting Lab, Sound of Vim analyses how Billie Eilish and Finneas use dynamic contrast, slow build, and emotionally honest lyrics to create one of the most satisfying payoffs in modern pop.

    We break down how restraint, structure, and storytelling can make a final release hit harder than any instant drop — and what songwriters and producers can learn from it.
