How a song is made: writing, recording, producing, sentence 1

There is no one right order: some writers start with words, some with a tune, a chord pattern or a beat, and many hits began as one line or a few notes hummed into a phone.

Who acts: one right order, writers, many hits · What happens: be, start, begin, hum · To what, where: phone
