Montero (Call Me By Your Name)

A Case Study on Hit Song Rhymes

In any hit, an effective rhyme scheme is what glues a song’s melody and lyrics together in a cohesive and memorable manner.

This video case study takes a deep dive into what makes the rhymes in Lil Nas X’s Montero (Call Me By Your Name) so effective.

Video excerpt from a live Hit Songs Deconstructed masterclass.

E.O.L.A.: A motif that features a melodic and/or rhythmic changeup at the end of a line that contrasts the preceding melodic pattern. They are effective in heightening memorability, familiarity and rhyme scheme connection across lines that all share the same E.O.L.A.
