: Use a dynamic EQ to carve out space in the 500Hz–3kHz range where the human voice sits.

: Use sampled acoustic drum kits with plenty of room noise. Look for heavy kicks and crisp, "cracky" snares.

: Add dramatic brass hits or low-octave piano chords on the "one" of every four bars to add weight and "fantasy" scale.

: Use a simple Sine wave sub-bass for the low-end "thump," but layer it with a distorted upright bass or a Moog-style synth for character.

: Keep the structure predictable (Intro -> 16-bar Verse -> 8-bar Hook). Avoid adding too many "busy" melodies that might distract the lyricist.
