i hope you dont mind me commenting on one important thing
i learnt in big studios viz..
think of a song composition like a pyramid.
at the top of the pyramid is THE HOOK.
the memorable hook(s) is/are of primary importance.
analyse past gold songs. invariably had hooks galore mostly.
i'll go into more detail if you wish.
for example i listened to a song in the pg user showcase yesterday, and right from the get go it impressed the heck out of me as being very hooky.

i listened to the new song for the new bond film the other day, its good but imho the original bond theme and the goldfinger theme have the hooks i keep on replaying in my mind.

best
