Kicking Off JUNE 23-27, 2025
You're gonna finish a bunch of songs.
You'll be writing an entire song. Every day. For 5 days.
This super fast paced speed-writing challenge is one of the best and quickest ways to write through your negative inner dialog. How? Don’t think, just write.
We'll give you the prompts to start with.
Each day, a fresh song prompt.
No worrying about what the heck to write about. Throughout the 5 days of the challenge, you’ll be given daily song prompts. Your mission? Write the heck outta that prompt and finish the song!
You'll get feedback from friends.
Your own private space inside our fabulous songwriting community, Song Club.
Our private challenge space has been an incredible catalyst for our songwriters - you get feedback, share songs, make cowriter connections, and grow as a songwriter with a group of your peers. It's a blast!
What songwriters are saying
Participants in past challenges have gone on to record albums, have other artists cut their songs, gain sync placements, even win contests. All because they joined the 5 in 5 Song Challenge and proved to themselves they were capable of writing more songs, better songs, and faster!

How the Challenge Works:
1. GET THE PROMPT EACH DAY
Each day, I'll post a prompt inside the challenge space in the wee morning hours (Nashville time). Come to the group and check out the prompt each day - this is what you'll be writing from.
2. WRITE YOUR SONG - FAST!
Write your song based on the prompt! The goal here is to write quickly, with little editing. Push yourself. It will be hard, but that's why this is a challenge. Give yourself an hour, 30 minutes, all evening, or just your lunch break - but whatever you do, finish that song!
3. POST YOUR SONG IN THE GROUP
Come back to the challenge space when it's all finished and share with the class! The 5/5 space is a wonderful place to get vulnerable, receive feedback, and feel the rush of sharing a brand new tune.
