Why these prompts work

  • 01

    Written in musicians' words

    Genres, tempos and instruments the models know, rather than vague adjectives like good or catchy.

  • 02

    No artist names

    Style is described by genre and era, so the prompts work in tools that block artist names, including the models here.

  • 03

    Easy to adapt

    Swap the topic, the singer or the tempo and keep the rest; the structure still holds.

How to use a song prompt

  1. 01

    Pick a prompt

    Copy it, or press Try it to open it in the song maker.

  2. 02

    Make it yours

    Change the topic to your own story, and add your lyrics in the lyrics box if you have them.

  3. 03

    Generate and adjust

    Listen, then change one detail at a time: the tempo, the voice or the instruments.

Anatomy of a song prompt

Good Suno prompts, Lyria prompts and AI music prompts in general share the same parts:

  • Genre and era: 90s R&B, modern Nashville country
  • Mood: bittersweet, defiant, dreamy
  • Tempo or feel: 70 BPM, driving, half-time
  • Instruments: nylon guitar and brushed drums
  • Vocals: breathy female alto, gravelly male baritone, or no vocals
  • Topic: one clear story or image

Style prompts and lyrics belong apart

Most AI music tools keep the style and the words in separate fields. Suno's custom mode has a style box and a lyrics box; AI Song Maker has a description and a lyrics box. Keep the sound in the description and the words in the lyrics, tagged with [Verse], [Chorus] and [Bridge].

Leave out artist and song names. Google's Lyria models block requests for specific artist voices and copyrighted lyrics, and other tools often refuse or ignore artist names too. Describe the genre, the era and the vocal texture instead.

Song prompt questions

What are Suno prompts?

Suno prompts are the style descriptions people write in Suno to set a song's genre, mood, instruments and vocals. The same kind of prompt works in other AI music tools, including the Lyria and ElevenLabs models on AI Song Maker.

Do these prompts work in Suno?

They are written to. Paste a prompt into Suno's style box, or into the description here, and add lyrics separately. Results differ between tools because each runs its own model.

Why do prompts with artist names fail?

Many AI music tools block or ignore artist names to avoid imitating real voices, and Google's Lyria models block requests for specific artist voices. Describe the genre, era and vocal texture instead.

Can I use these prompts for free?

Yes. Copy and adapt any prompt. Generating a song here costs credits, and new accounts get two free Lyria 3 Pro songs (40 credits).
