Quick answer: Great jingle lyrics do four things: build around one clear message, sing the business name clearly and often, use simple rhyme and rhythm that's easy to sing, and end on a hook that repeats. Say less, repeat more.
Start with one message
Pick the single thing you want remembered — the specialty, the promise, the feeling — and write everything toward it. One idea, said well, beats five ideas crammed in.
Make the name the star
The business name should be the clearest, most-repeated phrase. Write the hook so the name lands on the strongest beat.
Keep rhyme and rhythm simple
Easy, natural rhymes and a steady rhythm make a jingle singable. If you stumble saying it out loud, simplify it.
End on the hook — then repeat it
The last thing people hear is the thing they remember. Close on the hook with the name, and bring that hook back more than once through the spot.

How long should jingle lyrics be?
Short. A :30 is only a few lines. Focus on one message and a repeatable hook rather than fitting everything in.
Do I have to write the lyrics myself?
No — Hooked writes them for you around your business, and you can revise until they're right. You hear a free sample first.
