Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monthly recurring revenue flows like clockwork in your vault
Annual recurring revenue multiplied by twelve without fault
Subscription dollars streaming in, predictable and clean
Building towers made of contracts, revenue machine

[Chorus]
ARR and MRR, count your treasure chest
Churn rate tells you who's walking from your nest
CAC and LTV, balance what you spend
Net retention shows if growth will never end
SaaS metrics matter, watch them climb and bend

[Verse 2]
Customer acquisition cost divides your marketing spend
By new signups that you captured, know where every dollar went
Lifetime value calculates the gold each customer brings
Multiply their monthly payment by how long their contract sings

[Chorus]
ARR and MRR, count your treasure chest
Churn rate tells you who's walking from your nest
CAC and LTV, balance what you spend
Net retention shows if growth will never end
SaaS metrics matter, watch them climb and bend

[Bridge]
Churn percentage monthly shows the leaky bucket's drain
Net revenue retention over hundred means you gain
Even when some customers decide to say goodbye
Expansions from the loyal ones will lift your numbers high

[Verse 3]
Logo churn counts companies that canceled and departed
Revenue churn weighs dollars lost since relationship started
Gross retention measures what you kept from last year's base
Net retention adds expansions, upgrades in the race

[Chorus]
ARR and MRR, count your treasure chest
Churn rate tells you who's walking from your nest
CAC and LTV, balance what you spend
Net retention shows if growth will never end
SaaS metrics matter, watch them climb and bend

[Outro]
Dashboard glowing green with metrics that your business needs
Subscription success planted from these fundamental seeds
