Inside the Playbook: Mike Caren on What Makes a Song Feel Like a Hit

Mike Caren breaks down what actually makes a song feel like a hit.


This clip explores the role of A&R, taste, replay value, emotional connection, melody, lyrics, and creative judgment in today’s music business.


Mike also talks about trusting your opinion, learning from missed calls, redefining what a hit means in the streaming era, and why great executives grow by focusing on their strengths instead of rushing titles.


Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
