So as soon as you finish your cheesy song, there's always the option of remaking it yourself, after a change of attitude (and possibly setting).

The good songs write themselves.

The good songs are merely transcribed and fine-tuned by good songwriters.

Good songwriters understand that they are only the messengers who are responsible for delivering those songs to the listening public.

The thing is though that you will lose respect with some people for it, and that's why people are scared of writing cheesy pop ballads, for fear of losing respect. However, not all pop ballads are cheesy. Just look at Time Of Your Life by Green Day: 4 chords, and yet one of the most popular ballads around. So yeah, write a pop ballad. You never know what it will become. True, I suppose it is still a song even if it is a cheesy pop ballad.

I just prefer music coming straight from the heart, when it reflects the state the wongwriter is in, the effect will be more real Sure, nothing wrong with it, it’s a talent too to be able to write decent cheesy popballads.
