Lately, this is how I have been writing:

1) Get a general melody in mind. This melody will probably not have anything to do with the final melody but it gives me a framework for my mind.

2) theme and hook.

3) chorus

4) pre chorus

5)verses

6) bridge

7) give it to co-writer to write music

8) revise lyrics to match music as necessary.
