Could one turn out to be the song of the summer?
Have you ever wondered how a No.
Others like Macklemore, Aloe Blacc, OneRepublic, and Charlie Puth are waiting in the wings.

But what makes a song a winner?
Listen to all theSonglandwinning songs so far to hear what the artists are looking for.
OneRepublics Ryan Tedder immediately loved the best part of the song: the chorus melody.
Will.i.am Adam Friedman, Be Nice
Technically, Adam Friedman won will.i.ams episode.
However, Friedmans Be Nice was declared the official winner.
Thats a bumper sticker.
Thats a t-shirt, will.i.am said after Friedman first played his song.
You know what I would do though?
I would just keep it all about the bass.
I want you to keep going.
I dont want it to end, Ballerini said.
Thats a country hook, whether you meant it that way or not.
That is something that would fit on country radio right now.
Thats where Los Angeles artist Able Heart, a ghostwriter for other musicians, came in with Greenlight.
The sensual, alternative ballad had the Jonas Brothers and panel of producers raving.
Whats crazy is I see the video already, Kevin said.
Its such a visual representation.
So the fact that Kole ended up winning the night hardly came as a surprise.
She couldnt stop gushing about the song.
I love everything, Trainor said.
Its just ear candy that I want to sing forever.
Eventually, Kole beat out Brandin Jays No Money Alright and Josh Woods Alone to take the top prize.
and eliminated MACIs Take a Ride.
1 rule of Songland.
So there is no final version of Bad Habit.
Thats definitely different for a show meant to connect well-established artists with fledgling songwriters!
Songlandwill return for season 2 on NBC.
