drake has a total pop songwriter approach to hook words/titles - stuff like 'trophies', or 'pound cake' or 'hotline bling'

using such dynamic hook nouns isolates a song so it's instantly more memorable than most others, even if they're conceptually similar

sorry i know this is quite boring but it's a great resource as a songwriter to draw from

i work similarly with nouns because i like attributing vastness to small words. they paint songs in beautiful primary colours, like rothkos
