Good song writers have the entire melody in their head lyrically and then the music is based on that.
But also, many bands perform instrumentals, and then the singer will take that home and basically listen to it forever and write to it.
Bon Scott did it both ways which is why you can find AC/DC songs with "alternate lyrics" But this will vary from band to band and song writer to song writer. Usually, the one who creates the melody of the song is given song credit.
