Brings up a good point. You probably dont know that a song is good until someone proves it with a recording.


You wouldnt try to "prove" its good, unless you thought you had a good melody, some catchy phrases, a solid lyric line (not in that order, and none more important than the other)
but you wouldnt unless you thought your song was good.

If somebody dont know they have something good until somebody records it well, they might as well not record it because it wont be.

I think you're projecting your own take on songwriting. Maybe you dont think you have something until its recorded, but i have known ive had something while the idea was a melody in my head. I have tons of ideas in my head that dont even a have a chord progression.
