Answer 1

There’s a couple of reasons. If you’re the one who wrote something it makes it easier to remember. The other is repetition. Doing something over and over again ingrains it in your mind. Do it often enough and you never forget. That said, there are many times when artist forget the words to the songs they are singing. It’s bound to happen.
