Whenever I try writing a song, I go into this really vulnerable state and like to be completely alone while doing it so kudos to you for literally filming yourself through the whole process 🥰❤️

Nena! I wrote something similar to 'you're out of my sight, but you're still on my mind' a few nights back!! I just thought it was so cool that we had the literal same idea! And thank u so much for sharing your songwriting process with us.

I wish I had a friend like you in my life. I'm attempting to write my very first song ever. So far I got a chorus line and now for a verse. Ps. You have a beautiful voice. 😊🫶🏼🎸🎵🎶
girl this literally helped me write a song in one day, which i have never done before, and my first one on guitar since the others were on piano! THANK YOU SO MUCH IM LITERALLY GONNA RE WATCH THIS EVERYTIME I HAVE INSPIRATION FOR A SONG!💓
I'm so thankful for you Nena, because of you I'm still in my first year of high school and I am getting the opportunity to record and release my own music...you've given me courage to put myself out there with music which has led to this!! ❤️❤️
Dude, I was freaking gonna search for songwriting tips when you uploaded this. LOVE YA!

I've been writing songs these days in little time too! Because I don't strive to be perfect or make anything much out of it other than something that's nice and poetic. Thank you for this! Love it and you
It was so cool to see your songwriting process live. Amazing Nena!
I am SO impressed by your songwriting. Good job!!

For verse 2: ‘cause you’re a bad nostalgia like a dust in my eyes i have to get it out but there’s no use you’re all in my head even when i call others name you’re the one who stuck all time and your out of sight but never out of my mind (mind) Im at the place that we used to go when we watched summer turn to fall feel the sun as i fall for you and then days went by, and you had to say goodbye now you’re the one who turns my summer into fall took my bright colors and painted all gray as i sit right here and remember your smile as long as im alive you’ll be forever in my mind LMAO THIS ONE TURNED OUT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT I EXPECTED TO BE

aw thank u💓💓
I loved watching this. Probably because I can relate so much as when I write songs its a very similar process. Really feel like we need to see you write the rest of the song and hear it as a whole.
Please do a part 2! I’m really enjoying this 💜
Okay, since you just dropped this, it's a sign that I will finish the song that I wrote hahahahhahaha thanks bestieee!💕
You did amazing! Thankyou for inspiration 💓
OMG I’m soo excited 😍
This was so inspiring to watch! Thanks:)
Love this idea for a video! Would love to see more of stuff like this!!!
You're voice is beautiful, and this was really fun to watch!
Wow 🥰 I Love your songwriting process. Please make more videos like this.🙏❤️
I gotta see this song finished in another video cos it can't just end here. Also more songwriting videos please 😊💗
Nena!!!!! god I love your songwriting videos and a part 2 of this will be like really nice 😊😊
Been waiting for this for soooooo long hope this helps me be a great songwriter keep making more videos of songwriting (it's a public demand)
Just subscribed. I've been writing songs for a while now since the pandemic started cause I'm bored. I have lots of unfinished songs because I feel like they are not good and I can't find a good melody for them. Thank you for this. This kinda helps me finished one hahaha
Love it Nena!!!
this song is my inspiration. good job!
I LOVE THIS SONG. It's SO beautiful
I loooove this video so much!
100% percent taylor vibes!!!!
I can tell you're soooooo inspired by Taylor Swift. I mean, the sweater, the guitar... even your melody at some point gave me glimpses of her music!!! Not to mention the lyrics, reminded me of her sometimes. This is definitely a song Taylor would sing and you know it!!!! I absolutely loved this video ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Love you nena ❣️🌿 supporting you a fan of yours from the philippines.. love watching this content
i loved this! please make videos like this
Please part two this is sooo good ❤
I LOVE THIS SONG PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL OMG I wanna cover this so bad. YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD SONGWRITER. HOW??

Learnt a lot from you today nena thanks for the video and you're super creative
ok but this is sooo cool, i love your songwriting videos...i´m going to keep writing a new song that i started 2 days ago, i´m in the middle of a class(online) but it´s okayyy. Also, i think we have a similiar songwriting process hahah.

Please post part two , Loved the song 🤩🤩
Your song writing videos are the best!!! Please continue making them🥺
I love youuuu. Sending you all warm and good vibes.
I’ve written about 70 songs during this last year in quarantine. Most I feel like are pretty good, but I think that others need help. And I also forget the melodys I’ve come up with so recording it on the voice memos app helps a lot.

You made this look so easy😭

I used to get soo confused if a line is going with another, andd now it's all adding up istg
I want to write an acoustic song about a girl I like. I have the tuning in D standard (DGCFAD) and I was watching this last night when the song title came to me. I was going to call it About A Girl, similar to that of Nirvana’s song but a different vibe, but then I thought, since she’s the girl I want to be with, I called it “You’re The Girl” and that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I have the chords I came up with about a year ago when I was doodling on my electric guitar, as it was originally going to be about my then girlfriend, and because I suck at writing lyrics this video helped me a lot. We will be in college next year and maybe I might have a chance for a relationship with her
I really had fun watching you writing songs..that was genius..😌💅👏🥰😍 Unlike me 😞 I can't even write a song within 40 minutes..lol 😅
Could you do Haunted? btw, I absolutely looooove your videos, they’ve helped me so much!❤️
Nena this was too good. Please give us a Part 2
i loved this video!! i was wondering if you bought any of the red (taylor’s version) merch?
