Song Structure
Intro
인트로
The opening of a song, setting the mood before the song proper begins.
1 In Detail
The intro grabs the listener's attention and sets the song's tone. It may be purely instrumental or include a snippet of vocals. Radio edits tend to have short intros, album tracks longer ones.
2 Examples
Opening on a drum beat
A piano or guitar arpeggio
A synth pad setting the atmosphere
A vocal sample or spoken line
Practical Tips
In the streaming era, the first 30 seconds matter. The trend is to keep intros under 15 seconds and reach the vocal or hook quickly.
