The basic structure of song articles differs depending on whether the song is an Angelina original or is a cover.

Original songs

Articles about songs Angelina wrote or cowrote, and/or was the first to record and release a version of, should generally have the following structure (starting with a call to {{infobox song}}, including the original parameter):

{{infobox song
| original = y
| title         = <!-- omit to use the page title -- no link or quotation marks -->
| credit        = <!-- specify only if song is not solely credited to Angelina Jordan -->
| written-by    = <!-- use music-by and lyrics-by if these are known separately -->
| music-by      = 
| lyrics-by     = 
| produced-by   = 
| recorded      = <!-- recording date -->
| studio        = <!-- recording location -->
| released      = <!-- date -->
| release-type  = <!-- digital single, album track, etc. -->
| album         = <!-- title -- includes EPs (which is specified using "release-type") -->
| album-article = <!-- if our wiki article for the album has a special title -->
| label         = 
| listen-purchase-url = 
| note          = 
| ... <!-- see template documentation for other parameters -->
}}

'''"<!-- Song Title -->"''' is a [[song]] written by ...
<!-- ... = Angelina should usually be mentioned first (when appropriate) then any other songwriters;
 specify who wrote what (music vs. lyrics) when known;
 then talk about the first performance/recording of the song: when, where, with whom, etc.
 (but less important details can be put off until the appropriate section[s] below) -->

== Studio recording ==

<!-- this is usually the earliest (non-rehearsal, non-teaser) version of the song,
 but in some cases, a full live version should actually be discussed first
 (e.g., "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Princess of Ruins", "If I Were a Boy") -->

<!-- different videos using the same audio (e.g., music video vs. lyric video)
 should be discussed in subsections here;
 but videos using different audio (e.g., the "Live in Studio" version of "Million Miles")
 should be dealt with in separate main-level sections [==] -->

<!-- rehearsals, song-specific footage from recording sessions, and "teaser" clips
 can be discussed in subsections under the things they are related to
 (these constitute exceptions to the usual chronological ordering of performances) -->

== Live performances ==

<!-- presented chronologically, in subsections identifying dates/locations/events/whatever
 (but try to keep section headings short) -->

<!-- again, rehearsals (etc.) can be dealt with in subsections under the associated "final performances" -->

Cover songs

Articles about songs by other artists that Angelina has covered should generally have the following structure (starting with a call to {{infobox song}} not including the original parameter):

{{infobox song
| title           = <!-- do not link or use quotes -- remove this line to use page title -->
| written-by      = <!-- use music-by and lyrics-by if these are known separately -->
| music-by        = 
| lyrics-by       = 
| original-artist = <!-- do not link -->
| original-date   = <!-- if the exact release date is known -->
| original-year   = <!-- if only the year of release is known -->
| popularized-by  = <!-- (other) artists with charting or widely known covers -->
| note            = 
| ... <!-- see template documentation for other parameters -->
}}

'''"<!-- Song Title -->"''' is a [[song]] ...
<!-- ... = basic information about who wrote the song and when,
 who first recorded and released it and when,
 and, where appropriate, who popularized it -->

Angelina first sang <!-- or covered, performed, etc. --> the song ...
<!-- ... = when and under what circumstances;
 then, if appropriate, the same info about subsequent performances
 (the more times she has performed the song, the less precise you can be in this part) -->

== Original recording ==

<!-- this is usually a studio recording released as a single or an album track,
 but older songs may have debuted in a different form, such as in a film
 (the idea here is to talk about the earliest version that Angelina could have possibly based her cover on;
 so if the song was originally sung live on stage, that fact can be briefly mentioned
 before moving on to the first recorded version -->

== Other performances by the original artist ==

<!-- when "notable" -- e.g., if they "might have" influenced Angelina's cover(s) -->

== Performances by other artists ==

<!-- generally limited to well known versions, especially if they could have influenced Angelina's cover(s) -->

== Performances by Angelina ==

<!-- these should generally be presented chronologically
 in subsections identifying dates/locations/events/whatever (but try to keep the section headings short);
 they can also be grouped by type (studio/live-in-concert/at-home/etc.) if that seems appropriate;
 rehearsals can be addressed in subsections under the performances they are preparing for -->
