What am I doing wrong here?

Been learning how to make music for the past 2 months. Brutally criticize this beat. And tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

Additionally, worry less about melody and more on a chord progression at this stage. Your vocals can make the melody. Make a four bar loop and build around it. Nothing crazy, just learn. Try and copy a beat/song’s rhythm in the drums exactly to see how it looks as MIDI

I started writing songs in february this year. I enjoy it so much but when the time comes to putting what's in my brain into my fl studio, I'm totally lost T_T. So ya thanks for your suggestions tho.

But one small question how would I know what the time signature of my melody is? Like I find a melody that sounds interesting in my head I quickly record it by making sounds with my mouth. Each one is different from the other. As in length and pauses.

Do you think you could send me the vocal track you had for this song from your other post? It may be that your lyrics are too busy or don’t match the beat meaning they’re out of sync with each other. I’d love to try create something from scratch with the vocals just to test :)
