I think about this with every song I make, BIAB or whatever. Its called arranging the song. If you don't know how to do it, get a producer, its his job grin .

A few things I like to ...

Let it build, it is all about anticipation, tension and release...

Let the bass and drums sit out a few bars

Change up the tempo at the song beginning with Ritardando
