❌ 100-View Hooks = “Push” Content
It sounds like this:
"Out now!"
"Go stream it!"
"Link in bio!"
Push content is when you’re trying to force people to listen to your music.
It feels like an ad - and most people scroll right past it.
Why?
Because no one opens Instagram to be told what to do.
✅ 1M-View Hooks = “Pull” Content
It sounds like this:
"How do I even explain this genre to someone''
"Attempting to make the happiest heartbreak song"
"If summer 2026 had a song, it would sound like this..."
Pull content flips the script.
It starts with something your audience already relates to -
and then subtly pulls them into your world.
See the difference?
You’re not selling your song - You’re creating a moment with your song.
And moments get shared.
Here's how to change your hook:
❌ 100 view hook: “New music alert”
✅ 1M view hook: “POV: You make EDM for introverts that go on late-night walks instead of raves”
❌ 100 view hook: "I'm a lyricist and songwriter”
✅ 1M view hook: “Some of the saddest lyrics I’ve ever written”
❌ 100 view hook: "Listen to this DNB flip"
✅ 1M view hook: “It’s come to my attention that all classic rock sounds good in a dnb flip…”
❌ 100 view hook: "This is out now"
✅ 1M view hook: 🙋♀️: so what type of music do you make? me: disney r&b
