What factors do you consider in a song to deem it as a good song?

I listen to different genres of music depending on my mood. When I listen to rap music, I look out for the flow, the delivery the beat and the lyrics. No offence but most rappers these days lack flow and delivery. They just jam-pack thier songs with bass filled beats making them sound better. My examples of a good rap song is Adolescence by J Cole.

When I listen to Alternative R&B or blues , I look out for the voice, the ambience, Melody and pitch. Listening to this genres levitates my mind so I'm kind of picky with the artistes I listen to. My example of a good song in this category is Novocaine by Frank Oceans

When I feel like partying or dancing I listen to R&B or dancehall and I look out for songs with danceable beats and catchy choruses like Drake's in my feelings.

These are my criteria for a good song.
