Song Fight!

Song Fight!: Creative Online Music Community

Compete by writing and recording songs based on unusual prompts in Song Fight!, a community where users submit original entries and vote on their favorites to determine the winner each week.

What is Song Fight!?

Song Fight! is an online songwriting game and community where musicians compete by writing and recording original songs based on unusual prompts. Each week a new prompt is provided, usually a random title or phrase, and songwriters have one week to write, record, and submit a song based on that prompt.

After the deadline, songs are posted online and site members can listen and vote for their favorite song entry. The song with the most votes at the end of the voting period wins that week's fight. Winners get bragging rights and their song is added to the site's Hall of Fame.

The Song Fight! community has been running this friendly competition since 2004. While winning is fun, the focus is on creativity, humor, and pushing musical boundaries. Prompts are designed to inspire unexpected directions rather than straightforward themes. Subgenres run the gamut from rock to rap to experimental to comedy songs.

Over its long history, many talented musicians have competed and built a community at Song Fight. Some went on to wider fame, like singer-songwriter Lincoln Durham. The open format allows both amateur and experienced songwriters to participate by writing in their preferred style.

The responsive site design enables both desktop and mobile access. Users must create a free account to submit song entries, but listening and voting is open to all. An Archives section also allows listening to past winning songs dating back to the very first fight.
