The repeated, high-energy section that carries a song's main message and hook.
The chorus is the central, recurring section of a song — usually the catchiest and most energetic part, repeated several times with the same lyrics and melody. It typically delivers the song's main message and contains its biggest hook, which is why the chorus is often what listeners remember and sing along to. In the common verse–chorus structure, the verses build toward the chorus and the chorus provides release and a sense of arrival. Producers and songwriters often arrange a song so the chorus feels bigger and fuller than the verses — adding instruments, harmonies or energy — so that each return of the chorus lands with impact.
