Not every song has a bridge. A bridge helps to break up the repetition of a song and to hold on the listener's attention. It usually has several characteristics that are similar with either the verse or the chorus, but has its own distinct sound to it. It can serve as a calming section from a high-energy chorus to a more gentle ending, or it could serve as an energy-builder, for a more vibrant ending. Most bridges are located after the second chorus, bridging to the final chorus.
