Starting in the wrong place is a good message, and turns your judgment upside down. If you like delicate, melodic songs, maybe start with a drum machine. If you’re pretty sure your chorus sucks, start with it; make it the beginning of the song and see if you feel differently about it. Can you play the chord progression in the reverse order? It’s amazing how this can work sometimes. I’ve reversed chord progressions without having to alter a melody except slightly. Did you write the song on an acoustic guitar? Play it loud on an electric.
