Welcome to part 6 of our How to K-Pop series and part 3 of our Topline series, where we break down how to make a K-Pop topline, what makes a topline catchy and interesting, how to do vocal production and much more, of course with plenty of K-Pop songs as examples. These techniques are used by prolific songwriters and topliners across various styles, and we are sure to feature some of your favourites as well. If you are learning how to make K-Pop, this is the series for you!

We are continuing our series on toplining by explaining how rhythm plays into creating a topline, how it drives the energy forward and how a simple melody can be very catchy with the right rhythm. We show that a simple rhythm can be quite effective, we also demonstrate the importance of utilising space in a topline as well as how the number of syllables affect the energy of a topline.

We then show how to combine all of these approaches to crate contrast between sections. Here we introduce the important concept of an anacrusis and show how it can help link various parts of the topline together for a coherent song.
