I'm so grateful for whoever got the idea to put a voice recorder in every new model of celphone (since, what, 2005?)
Music just comes to me, in little scraps of maybe five or six notes. I hum it into a voice recorder, and then try to sort of stitch together a melody later with a verse, shift into a chorus, and maybe a pre-chorus or a bridge...so, very pop music formula. I'm not quite at twenty-minute orchestral movements (yet!)
I'm a mediocre guitarist, and a terrible pianist but I use both of those to figure out some sort of accompaniment or arrangement.
If there's lyrics, I usually write them last to try to fit the music, or adjust the music very little to fit the words that were already there.
