Studying Songs you like, and Songs you don't like, can help you develop your sense of 'right' and 'wrong' in your own Songwriting.
I suggest picking a Song and doing some analysis. This is just an exercise. You could complete it in a sitting or two or three.
If you like what you learn with one Song, pick another one. You may learn as much or more from a Song you don't like as one you do like.
I'm rattling off some things to analyze here. I may refine it over time. You may not have to be so formal, so in depth. Be as meticulous or as casual as you like. But be analytical enough to see if you can determine what it is they did right to make you like the Song, or wrong to make you not like it.

I suggest analysis of 'Timing':
How long is the Introductory Movement?
How long is the Verse (or Chorus if the Song opens with the Chorus)?
How long does it take to get the Chorus (or Verse, whatever Stanza comes second)?
How long is that second Stanza?
By the end of that second Stanza is THE Hook, the title, clearly obvious?
How many times have they sung that title Line?
What is the overall length of the Song?

I suggest analysis of Lyrical content:
Does the Lyrical content of the first and second Stanzas make sense?
Are the Lines coherent thoughts?
Are the Lines delivered in conversational style?
Are the Lines communicated, 'sent' clearly enunciated so you can 'receive' them, ideally on first listening?
Does THE Hook/title seem to sum up what all the rest of the Lyric seems to be getting at?
Can you spot any Lines that simply seem to Rhyme, without adding much to the storyline?
Are there any 'tangled' Lines, twisted syntax in a way not natural to the way you would say them, perhaps designed to land on a Rhyme-Word?
Mostly analysis can be confined to how you 'hear' the delivery. If looking at a written Lyric do you see any spelling errors, misconstrued words, which might interrupt the flow of 'consumption' as a reader stops to re-read those errors to see what the Lyricist meant to say instead of what they did say?
Does their Rhyme-Scheme seem consistent, Verse to Verse, Rhyming the same Lines in each Verse, Lines one and two, three and four, or one and three, two and four?
Is there Internal Rhyme?
Is there Nursery-Rhyme style, where two Lines might Rhyme and a third Line be left Un-Rhymed, then two more Lines Rhymed, and the Un-Rhymed third Line picked up with Rhyme in Line six?
Are there Hard-Rhymes, Imperfect- or Soft-Rhymes?
Is there no Rhyme?
Did the Lyric 'move' you in some way, emotionally, intellectually?

I suggest analyzing Structure, the components of the composition:
Can you clearly hear where each Stanza begins and ends?
Can you lay out the Structure, Verse I, Chorus, Verse II, Chorus, Verse III, Chorus, Coda?
Or Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus, Coda?
Did they have a Verse III, or resort to a an Instrumental Bridge, or Lyrical Bridge, and go to a final giving of the Chorus?
Any Structure that works, works.

I suggest analysis of Arrangement, the musical accompaniment to the vocal:
Do instruments fill some or all the gaps between Lyrical Lines?
Do instruments 'step on' the vocalizations, obscuring the word delivery, playing while the singer is singing?
Is the vocal buried in the mix, the music overwhelming the 'featured' vocal?
Do the Lyrical ideas and musical style seem to match, sad ideas with melancholy music, happy ideas with upbeat music?
Is the vocalist's voice unique in some way, raspy, urgent sounding, emotional, angry, humorous?

This 'analytical' practice isn't the way we usually listen to music, as fans. It is a 'study' exercise, to educate yourself to make your own judgment calls, as the First Listener to your own Songs. What the Songs you study do right, or wrong, in your opinion, can help you do things right in your own Songs, and avoid doing things wrong.

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
