(How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation) Using Suno.ai’s interface with structured meta tags to
shape a song’s style and arrangement (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI) (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI).

Leverage Meta Tags for Control: Suno.ai uses meta tags—keywords in square brackets—to guide the AI on how to
create your music, not just what to create (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI). These tags act as a blueprint, controlling
elements like vocal style, instrumental arrangement, mood, and dynamics (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI). For
example, tags can specify a soulful male vocal, a fast 120 BPM dance beat, or a melancholic piano intro. By annotating
your prompt or lyrics with meta tags (e.g. [Genre: Pop], [Mood: energetic], [Verse], [Chorus]), you give Suno
explicit instructions that result in more tailored and high-quality output (How to Generate the Music You Desire with
Suno AI Metatags?) (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI). Always include structure tags like Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge,
and Outro to ensure the song has a coherent progression (How to Generate the Music You Desire with Suno AI
Metatags?). These structural tags help the AI understand the layout of a song, preventing aimless or chaotic
compositions.

Structuring Effective Prompts: When crafting a prompt for Suno, be clear and concise about the desired genre, mood,
and structure. A good practice is to begin with a brief description of the song’s theme or story, followed by meta tags
that nail down specifics. For instance: “An upbeat pop song about empowerment” [Genre: Pop] [Mood: uplifting,
energetic] [Instruments: synth bass, electric guitar, punchy drums] [Tempo: 120 BPM] [Vocal Style:
powerful female voice] [Verse] ... and so on. This prompt starts with a concept and then uses tags to lock in the
genre and vibe. Combining a descriptive prompt with meta tags in brackets is more effective than a plain sentence
prompt – it ensures Suno adheres to your vision in terms of style and song sections (Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI)
(Suno AI meta tags : r/SunoAI). Keep the prompt within Suno’s length limits (the Style field is around 100 characters)
by focusing on key attributes. Less can be more: rather than overloading the AI with long prose, use specific tags for
each important element (vocals, instruments, tempo, etc.). This structured approach yields optimal results by giving the
model a clear “checklist” to follow.

Meta Tags for Different Genres: Tailor your meta tags to the music style you want. Suno supports a wide range of
genres and even sub-genres through tags (How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation) (List of
Metatags | Suno Wiki). Here are some best-practice tag combinations for various styles:

Pop: Use [Genre: Pop] along with tags like [Instruments: synth, bass, drums] and a tag for a catchy
chorus (e.g. [Chorus: hooky, layered vocals]). Pop songs benefit from an energetic mood [Mood: upbeat,
happy] and a steady, danceable rhythm [Beat: 4/4, groovy]. For example, a prompt could include “[Verse:
bright melody], [Chorus: anthemic hook]” to emphasize a memorable chorus.
Emotional Ballad: Include [Genre: Ballad] or [Style: R&B & Soul] for a soulful ballad (List of Metatags |
Suno Wiki). Emphasize a slower tempo and emotional tone: [Tempo: slow, 70 BPM] [Mood: melancholic,
heartfelt]. Instrument tags like [Instruments: piano, strings] will give it a classic ballad feel, and you
might add [Vocal Emotion: wistful] to guide the AI toward an expressive, heartfelt vocal delivery. This
combination leads to a poignant ballad style track with intimate verses and powerful choruses.
Electronic (EDM/Dance): Start with [Genre: Dance & Electronic] or a specific sub-genre (e.g. [Genre:
EDM]or [Genre: Techno]) (How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation) (List of Metatags |
 Suno Wiki). Set a high energy level: [Mood: energetic, euphoric] [Tempo: 128 BPM]. Key tags could
include [Instruments: synth bass, electro drums] and a tag for a drop (e.g. [Chorus: instrumental
drop, heavy bass]) to ensure the AI generates a big electronic hook. You can also specify [Beat: four-on-
the-floor] for a steady dance beat.
Rock: Use [Genre: Rock] (or sub-styles like [Genre: Punk Rock] or [Genre: Indie rock]) (How to master
Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation) (List of Metatags | Suno Wiki). Rock prompts should
feature [Instruments: electric guitar, bass, live drums] and perhaps [Guitar: distorted, heavy
riff] to emphasize guitar tone. For mood, something like [Mood: rebellious, high-energy] fits upbeat rock,
whereas [Mood: dark, aggressive] might guide a heavier rock style. Also consider [Vocal Style: raspy
male vocals] or whatever suits your vision of the rock song’s vocals.
Genre-Blending: Suno allows combining tags to mix styles (How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music
creation). For example, a “pop-rock” vibe could use [Genre: Pop-Rock], or you could explicitly include
multiple styles: [Genre: Pop, Synthwave] to get an ’80s-influenced pop sound. When attempting a blend, use
instrumentation and mood tags from both sides (e.g. guitars with synths, or an upbeat tempo with retro ambiance).
Experimentation is key – try different tag combinations to see how the AI merges them, as this can yield unique
cross-genre results (How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation).

Refining and Professionalizing the Output: Once Suno generates a composition, there are techniques to refine it from
demo-quality to professional-grade. One powerful in-app method is using Suno’s “Cover” feature to polish the track.
After you get a basic song from your prompt, run it through the cover feature with the same key tags/genre to “smooth
out” the result – this often unifies the style and makes the song sound more cohesive and polished (Using Suno’s Cover
Feature as an Upscaler | Suno Wiki). Think of it like a second pass that cleans up rough edges, similar to mastering an
image in AI; the cover essentially in-paints your song for consistency. In practice, you might generate a song, then apply
Cover so the vocals and instruments gel together more naturally. Some creators even iterate this process (covering a
cover) to incrementally improve quality (Using Suno’s Cover Feature as an Upscaler | Suno Wiki).

For fine-grained improvements, Suno’s Replace Section feature is invaluable. If one part of the song (say the second
verse or the outro) isn’t up to par, you can target that ~30-second segment and regenerate it without altering the rest
(How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better music creation). This lets you fix issues or add variation in specific
sections, edging you closer to a studio-quality arrangement. For instance, if the chorus isn’t punchy enough, you could
regenerate just the chorus section with added tags like [Chorus: powerful, anthem-like backing vocals]. Iterating
in this way brings the AI output in line with your creative expectations (How to master Suno AI’s meta tags for better
music creation).

Finally, treat the AI output as raw material that may need mastering. Suno’s raw audio can sound quiet or slightly
unpolished compared to commercial tracks, so consider exporting the stems or audio and mixing/mastering it using a
digital audio workstation (DAW) or free mastering tools. Users report that applying EQ, compression, and limiting to
Suno tracks is necessary to reach commercial loudness and balance (Mixing + Mastering Suno AI generated content +
20 minutes of edited content + more (ghost in the machine) : r/SunoAI) (How to Master Tracks Using Free Tools | Suno
Wiki). For example, you might use an equalizer to cut any muddy frequencies or strange artifacts the AI introduced,
then use a compressor/limiter to even out the volume and make the track louder. Normalizing the final audio to about
-0.3 dBFS avoids clipping while maximizing volume (Mixing + Mastering Suno AI generated content + 20 minutes of
edited content + more (ghost in the machine) : r/SunoAI) (How to Master Tracks Using Free Tools | Suno Wiki). If you
don’t have expensive plugins, no worries – even free tools or stock plugins (like a parametric EQ and basic limiter in
free software) can significantly enhance the clarity and impact of the AI-generated song (How to Master Tracks Using
Free Tools | Suno Wiki) (How to Master Tracks Using Free Tools | Suno Wiki). The goal is to ensure the song has
consistent levels, a clean mix, and that polish listeners expect. By combining Suno’s AI creativity with human-guided
post-production, you can achieve a result that sounds professional and release-ready.

2. Guide to Writing Hit Songs and Viral Lyrics

(A large crowd of people at a concert photo – Free Fun Image on Unsplash) A raucous concert crowd energized by a hit
song – great songs connect broadly and make listeners feel something (What REALLY Makes A Song A Hit - SongTown
on Songwriting).

What Makes a Song a Hit: Hit songs may span genres, but they share common ingredients. At their core, they
are catchy, emotionally compelling, and broadly relatable (What REALLY Makes A Song A Hit - SongTown on
Songwriting). This means the song is well-crafted and triggers a strong response in listeners – it might make people tap
their feet, dance, cry, or sing along at the top of their lungs. A hit needs a hook that lodges in the mind, often delivered
in a big, memorable chorus or riff. It also needs to feel universal enough that many people see themselves in it. In short,
a hit song connects with a wide audience and prompts some form of action or emotion, whether that’s the urge to hit
“replay” or to share it with friends because it resonates so much (What REALLY Makes A Song A Hit - SongTown on
Songwriting). Beyond the songwriting itself, external factors (promotion, timing, the right artist) matter, but here we’ll
focus on the songwriting elements you can control.

Emotional Connection and Authenticity: Songs that tap into genuine emotion tend to resonate deeply. An effective hit
often comes from a place of authenticity – the artist is conveying real feelings or stories that listeners find believable
and moving. Emotional storytelling in lyrics can make a track stand out. For example, Adele’s “Someone Like You” or
Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” became global hits largely due to their heartfelt, vulnerable lyrics (Crafting a
Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). The raw emotion in these songs made listeners feel “seen”
and understood; many could relate to the heartbreak and longing expressed. To emulate this, dig into real experiences or
feelings when writing lyrics. Whether it’s joy, sadness, anger, or nostalgia, strong emotions and honest storytelling will
create a bond with your audience. Even upbeat pop hits often have an emotional core or message (think of Katy
Perry’s “Firework” – an uptempo track, but with an empowering message that connects emotionally). Aim to write
lyrics that are personal yet universal: detail a specific story or moment, but highlight the emotions in a way that anyone
who’s loved, lost, or overcome something can identify with. Authenticity builds trust with listeners and can turn a good
song into an unforgettable one.

Hooks and Memorable Lyrics: A hook is the part of the song that catches the listener’s ear – usually an easily
remembered melody or phrase. In hit songs, the hook is often the chorus or even a simple refrain that repeats
throughout. Crafting a great hook is arguably the most important aspect of writing a hit. Many viral songs
have choruses or catchphrases that stick in your head after one listen (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go
Viral? - Gang Flow). Think of the lyric “I’m in love with the shape of you” (Ed Sheeran) or “We don’t talk about
Bruno” (from Encanto) – these phrases are catchy, rhythmic, and fun to sing (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's
Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). They invite repetition and often double as the song’s main message. Repetition is a key
technique: repeating the hook multiple times (especially toward the end of the song) helps drive it home for the listener
(Songwriting Tip: Understanding the Most Common Song Structures). Simplicity is also crucial; a hook usually
has simple lyrics and a strong melodic contour. It might involve a unique or clever twist of phrase, but it won’t be
overly complex in wording – people should remember it easily. Musically, hooks often use a distinct rhythm or a
“singable” melody that encourages listeners to join in. For instance, the “nah nah nah nah” chant in “Hey Jude” or the
whistle in “Moves Like Jagger” – these non-lyrical hooks are extremely memorable. Analyze popular hits and you’ll
notice most have a signature hook line or motif within the first minute. When writing your own, focus on the chorus –
make sure the first line of your chorus is striking and the chorus as a whole encapsulates the song’s catchiest idea. A
good test: if you find yourself humming the tune or phrase hours later, you’ve likely got a strong hook.

Song Structure for Maximum Engagement: How you structure verses, choruses, and bridges can greatly affect a
song’s impact. Most hit songs follow familiar song structures that listeners subconsciously recognize, such as Verse–
Chorus–Verse–Chorus–Bridge–Chorus (often notated ABABCB) (Songwriting Tip: Understanding the Most Common
Song Structures). This structure works because it balances repetition and variation: verses tell the story, the chorus
delivers the emotional payoff (the hook), and a bridge provides a fresh twist or climax before the final chorus. Another
common structure is adding a pre-chorus before each chorus (e.g. Verse–Pre-Chorus–Chorus, etc.), which helps build
anticipation – Katy Perry’s “Firework” uses this, with the pre-chorus “You just gotta ignite the light…” leading into the
explosive chorus (Songwriting Tip: Understanding the Most Common Song Structures). To keep listeners engaged, it’s
important to get to the chorus quickly – in modern pop, often the first chorus hits by 0:50 or even earlier, because the
chorus is typically the catchiest part. Don’t make verses too long or listeners might lose interest; 4 to 8 lines per verse is
common. Use the verses to set up the narrative or situation, and make sure each verse builds upon the last (or the second
verse adds new detail) so the song feels like it’s progressing. A bridge (the “C” section) about 2/3 into the song can add
a new perspective or heightened emotion – for example, a bridge might be a breakdown moment or a change in chord
progression that surprises the listener just before the final chorus. After the bridge, repeating the chorus (often with even
more intensity or an extra vocal harmony) gives that satisfying sense of payoff and familiarity (Songwriting Tip:
Understanding the Most Common Song Structures). Many hits even double the last chorus or add an outro chorus
variation to leave the hook ringing in the listener’s ears. In practice, sticking to tried-and-true structures isn’t
“formulaic” in a bad way – it provides a framework that listeners find comfortable, allowing your killer hook and lyrics
to shine without confusion (Songwriting Tip: Understanding the Most Common Song Structures). So structure your
song deliberately: verses for story/setup, chorus for the main message and hook, and bridge for a departure that makes
the final chorus hit even harder.

Relatable Themes and Storytelling: Lyrical content that taps into common experiences will naturally appeal to a
larger audience. Topics like love, heartbreak, empowerment, partying, overcoming hardships, and nostalgia are
perennial because almost everyone can connect to them. When analyzing viral hits, a pattern emerges: many tell a story
or paint a scenario that listeners either have experienced or can easily imagine. Olivia Rodrigo’s massive hit “Drivers
License” is a great case study – it’s essentially a storytelling ballad of teenage heartbreak, told in a very personal way,
yet it struck a universal chord (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). Listeners (not just
teens) reminisced about their own first heartbreaks and related to the raw feelings in the lyrics. The song’s narrative
(driving through suburbs crying over an ex) is specific, but the emotions are universal. This is key to
relatability: specific details make a song feel authentic, but ensure the underlying theme is broadly understood. Even in
upbeat songs without a linear “story,” having a clear theme that people identify with boosts virality. For example,
Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” became an anthem for personal empowerment – it doesn’t tell a story with characters,
but it’s relatable to anyone who needs encouragement. Storytelling in songwriting can also mean giving your song a
logical flow – there’s a sense of beginning, middle, and end. In a love song, Verse 1 might describe the first meeting,
Verse 2 the falling out; the bridge could be the realization, and the final chorus delivers the emotional conclusion. Such
an arc keeps listeners invested in how it “ends.” Even if your song isn’t a narrative ballad, try to at least resolve the
emotional journey by the end (for instance, start with sadness in verse 1 but by the final chorus show healing or hope).
And remember, relatability doesn’t mean cliché – avoid overly generic lines that anyone could write. Instead, use
fresh imagery or personal touches that make the listener think “Wow, I’ve felt this, but never heard it expressed this
way.” That combination of fresh yet familiar is often what makes lyrics go viral.

Cultural and Viral Hooks: In the age of TikTok and streaming, songs can go viral due to external social factors – but
you can write with this in mind. Songs that lend themselves to challenges, dances, or memes have an edge in virality
(Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). For instance, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” blew
up on TikTok because it was catchy and quirky enough for users to create memes and videos with it (Crafting a Hit:
What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). It mixed country and hip-hop in a fun way, and a 15-second
snippet (the chorus “can’t nobody tell me nothin’”) became a meme anthem. When writing, consider if there’s a
segment of your song that would make someone hearing it for the first time stop and pay attention – maybe a witty one-
liner, an unusual sound (a laugh, a “yee-haw”, a distinctive beat drop), or a highly quotable line. Timeliness can also
help: referencing a current trend or feeling can propel a song (e.g. a pandemic-era song about quarantine feelings, or
incorporating a popular slang). Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” resonated partly because its lyrics and attitude tapped into a
rebellious, edgy vibe that many found cool and shareable (Analyzing the Success of Viral Hits: What Makes a Song Go
Viral? - IDIOTEQ.com). Likewise, Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” went viral for its powerful social
commentary – it was timely and provoked discussion (Analyzing the Success of Viral Hits: What Makes a Song Go
Viral? - IDIOTEQ.com). While you shouldn’t force references unnaturally, being aware of cultural moments or phrases
and cleverly weaving them in can make a song feel of the moment. Another tip is collaboration – having two artists or a
feature can expose the song to two fanbases and generate extra buzz (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go
Viral? - Gang Flow). Many recent hits are collaborations that cross genre or audience lines (for example, a pop star
featuring a rapper, which brings in diverse listeners). In terms of songwriting, if you collaborate, ensure each artist has a
distinct part (maybe one handles a verse or the bridge) so the song feels dynamic and appeals to fans of each. Lastly,
don’t underestimate the power of a good music video or visual – a creative music video or a viral dance can catapult a
track’s popularity (as with Psy’s “Gangnam Style” and its signature dance). While this guide is about songwriting,
considering how a lyric might look visually or how listeners might interact with it (sing it as an anthem, quote it in
Tweets, use it in a challenge) can guide you toward writing lyrics that have an extra viral spark.
To summarize, here are key songwriting tips for crafting a potential hit:

Focus on Relatable Themes: Write about experiences or emotions nearly everyone knows – love, loss, joy,
loneliness, etc., presented in a fresh way (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow). A
listener should think “this song is about my life.”
Craft Catchy Hooks: Spend time on your chorus and any musical hooks. They should be simple, catchy, and
begging to be sung or hummed. Ideally, the hook (lyric or melody) repeats enough to stick in the listener’s head
after one listen (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow).
Be Authentic: Stay true to your voice and story. Authenticity shines through and builds a connection. Listeners
can tell when a song’s emotion is real. Draw from personal stories or genuine feelings to give the song heart
(Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow).
Use Strong Song Structure: Structure your song so it’s engaging – verses set up the story, choruses deliver the
payoff, and a bridge adds a twist. Don’t meander; hit the chorus early and repeat your best hook to maximize
impact (Songwriting Tip: Understanding the Most Common Song Structures) (Songwriting Tip: Understanding
the Most Common Song Structures).
Leverage Trends (Smartly): While maintaining authenticity, consider current trends. A clever reference or a
vibe that fits a popular style (e.g. a danceable groove for TikTok) can help a song go viral (Crafting a Hit: What
Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang Flow) (Crafting a Hit: What Makes a Song's Lyrics Go Viral? - Gang
Flow). But use this sparingly – the song still needs substance beneath the trendy packaging.
Tell a Story or Paint Imagery: Even upbeat hits benefit from lyrical imagery or a story element. Whether it’s a
literal story (as in ballads) or vivid scenes and characters in the verses, storytelling makes songs memorable and
shareable. People love to share songs that describe something meaningful or narrate an experience.
Keep it Simple and Memorable: In both lyrics and melody, clarity and simplicity often win. Aim for a sing-
along quality – test your song by singing the chorus a cappella to someone and see if they catch on. If they do,
you likely have a hook. If the idea is too complicated to remember, consider simplifying the language or tune.

By focusing on these core elements – emotional truth, a killer hook, solid structure, and relatable lyrics – you’ll increase
your chances of writing a song that not only sounds great but has the potential to go viral and become a hit.

3. Tailored AI Songwriting Prompts

(Songwriting Pictures | Download Free Images on Unsplash) Combining human creativity with AI assistance – a
songwriter develops lyrics and musical ideas with AI, using structured prompts to guide the model (How to Generate
the Music You Desire with Suno AI Metatags?).

Now that we’ve covered best practices in using Suno.ai and the secrets behind viral songs, let’s put it all together.
Below are detailed AI songwriting prompts for various genres and scenarios. These prompts are designed to be fed
into an AI model (like Suno.ai or a lyric generator) to inspire full songs. Each prompt integrates the best practices –
using meta tags for structure/genre (from the Suno guide) and injecting the elements that make songs engaging (from
the hit songwriting guide). You can use these as starting templates and adjust specifics (like tempo or theme) to your
needs. The prompts assume the AI can understand meta tags in square brackets (for Suno, you would place these in the
lyrics or style fields accordingly).

Feel free to copy these prompts directly or tweak them. They aim to give the AI clear direction on what style of music
to create, how to structure it, and what emotional/lyrical vibe to hit. With these, you should get high-quality lyrics
and compositions tailored to each style:

Pop Genre Prompt

Prompt: “Write an upbeat, catchy pop song about self-confidence and overcoming obstacles. [Genre: Pop]
[Mood: uplifting, empowering] [Tempo: 118 BPM] [Instruments: synth pads, funky guitar, bass, upbeat
drums] [Vocal Style: bright, energetic female vocal]
[Intro: brief synth riff]
 [Verse 1: Describe feeling down but hint at confidence growing]
[Pre-Chorus: Tension building, drums picking up, lyrics becoming more hopeful]
[Chorus: Big, catchy hook about believing in yourself – easy to sing along]
[Verse 2: Show progress, overcoming critics or fears]
[Pre-Chorus: Build again into chorus]
[Chorus: Repeat the anthemic hook, add harmonies to make it soar]
[Bridge: a softer, emotional moment – e.g., reflection on the journey, with minimal instrumentation]
[Chorus: Final chorus, very powerful with ad-libs, bring back full instruments]
[Outro: fade out with the repeated hook]"*

This pop prompt sets a clear theme (self-confidence) and uses meta tags to ensure a radio-ready pop structure with
intro, verses, a pre-chorus, etc. The instructions emphasize a big hook in the chorus, matching pop best practices. By
specifying instruments and mood, the AI should produce a vibrant arrangement (cheerful synths and guitars) and
motivational lyrics that could resonate widely. The result will ideally be a polished pop anthem with a memorable
chorus – the kind of song that could become a sing-along hit.

Emotional Ballad Prompt

Prompt: “Compose a heartfelt emotional ballad about lost love and longing. [Genre: Ballad] [Mood:
sorrowful, nostalgic] [Tempo: 65 BPM, slow] [Instruments: grand piano, emotional string section] [Vocal
Style: soulful male vocal, gentle but powerful in chorus]
[Intro: Soft piano chords setting a somber tone]
[Verse 1: Paint a picture of the memories with the loved one, quiet vocals]
[Chorus: Emotional climax – express the pain of missing someone, with swelling strings]
[Verse 2: Reflect on regrets or things left unsaid, maintaining the soft dynamic]
[Chorus: Again highlight the main hook about longing, perhaps with slight variation or extra backing
vocals]
[Bridge: Instrumental or a few lines that quietly acknowledge acceptance or hope (e.g., “I’ll keep your
memory alive”)]
[Chorus: Final chorus, stronger vocals, pour all emotion out]
[Outro: A delicate piano outro, perhaps humming the main melody]*”

In this ballad prompt, we guide the AI to create a slow, powerful tearjerker. The meta tags ensure a minimal, poignant
instrumentation (piano and strings) and a sorrowful mood. We’ve outlined a traditional ballad structure where the
chorus is the emotional peak. Lyrically, it calls for vivid memories and feelings of longing, which will push the AI to
generate touching, relatable lines. The instructions in the bridge suggest a bit of emotional resolution, which often gives
professional ballads a sense of narrative closure. Overall, this prompt should yield a moving ballad with soulful vocals
and lyrics that tug at the heartstrings.

Electronic Dance Prompt

Prompt: “Create a high-energy electronic dance track that makes people want to move. Theme: the
excitement of a night out. [Genre: EDM] [Mood: energetic, euphoric] [Tempo: 128 BPM] [Instruments:
driving electronic drums, synth bass, catchy lead synth melody] [Vocal Style: rhythmic female vocal,
pop/dance style]
[Intro: DJ-friendly beat intro with a building synth line]
[Verse 1: Set the scene of friends going out, anticipation in the air, sparse beat]
[Build-Up (Pre-Chorus): Rising synth build and faster claps, lyrics about “tonight is the night”]
[Chorus/Drop: Explosive instrumental drop – heavy bass and a hooky synth riff, with a simple vocal hook
(e.g., a repeated phrase like ‘we won’t stop’)]
[Verse 2: Brief, maybe just a few lines, focusing on the feeling on the dance floor]
[Build-Up 2: Tension building again with maybe a pitch rise in synths]
[Chorus/Drop 2: Another big drop, even more intense – add an extra element like a vocal chop melody]
 [Bridge/Breakdown: a short breakdown with minimal beats, a moment of calm where a vocal line can
shine]
[Chorus/Drop 3: Final drop to end the song on a high, bring back all elements]
[Outro: Quick fade-out or beat outro for DJ mixing]*”

This EDM prompt is geared toward creating a festival-ready dance anthem. It instructs the AI on the classic EDM
structure: intro, build-ups, drops, etc., which is crucial for the genre. By specifying a “drop” in the chorus, we signal the
AI to focus on an instrumental hook (the synth riff) rather than a wordy chorus. The theme (night out excitement) gives
the AI some lyrical content for verses, but the prompt wisely keeps vocals minimal in drops, as is typical in EDM. The
tags for tempo and instruments ensure a thumping beat and bass. With this prompt, expect the AI to generate a track
with adrenaline-pumping beats, a catchy melodic hook, and a few simple vocal lines – perfect for a club or party
scenario.

Pop Sub-genre (Synth-pop 80s) Prompt

Prompt: “Write a synth-pop song with a retro 1980s vibe about falling in love on the dance floor. [Genre:
Synth pop] [Mood: nostalgic, dreamy] [Tempo: 110 BPM] [Instruments: analog synth leads, electronic
drums, warm pad textures] [Vocal Style: light, airy male vocals with reverb]
[Intro: 1980s-style synth chord progression, drum machine kicks in]
[Verse 1: Describe seeing someone across the club in neon lights, feelings of instant connection]
[Chorus: Dreamy and catchy hook about ‘dancing through midnight with you’ – should feel like an 80s
movie soundtrack chorus]
[Verse 2: Continue the story, maybe dancing together, heartbeats matching the beat]
[Chorus: Repeat the hook, perhaps with an extra synth counter-melody on top]
[Bridge: Instrumental synth solo that screams 80s (think synth lead solo), with maybe a couple vocal adlibs]
[Chorus: Final chorus, full nostalgia blast, big synth chords and harmonies]
[Outro: Fade out with the main synth riff]*”

This prompt dives into a specific sub-genre: 80s-style synth-pop. By doing so, it demonstrates how to tailor a prompt
to a very particular sound. The meta tags lock in that aesthetic (analog synths, drum machine, etc.) and the described
imagery (neon lights, dance floor) guides the lyric style. An AI responding to this should produce something
reminiscent of retro hits – infectious synth melodies, a romantic, nostalgic vibe, and a steady vintage beat. It’s a great
example of how specifying a sub-genre and era can yield a song with a distinct character. Use prompts like this to
explore any niche style (e.g., “Write a pop punk song like early 2000s Blink-182…” with appropriate tags) – the more
specific details you give, the more the AI will shape the song to that flavor.

Rock Prompt

Prompt: “Generate a driving rock song about overcoming a personal struggle, with an anthemic
feel.[Genre: Rock] [Mood: bold, determined] [Tempo: 140 BPM] [Instruments: distorted electric guitars,
bass, hard-hitting drums] [Vocal Style: gritty male vocal, passionate]
[Intro: Guitar riff hooks listener immediately, drums kick in solidly]
[Verse 1: Paint a picture of being at rock bottom, raw and honest lyrics]
[Pre-Chorus: Tension building, drums on toms, lyrics start to uplift (‘I won’t give up’ theme)]
[Chorus: Big and anthemic – a shout-along hook about rising above the struggle; layered vocals for impact]
[Verse 2: Show the fight back, gaining strength, more confident tone]
[Pre-Chorus: Again build into chorus – maybe even shorter than first to get to chorus quicker]
[Chorus: Repeat the powerful chorus, maybe with slight variation or extra guitar lick]
[Bridge: Guitar solo or breakdown with a heroic feel, minimal lyrics or a rallying spoken line]
[Chorus: Final chorus, highest energy, add an extra high harmony or higher octave to elevate it]
[Outro: Big finish – end on a sustained guitar chord or vocal note]”*

In this rock prompt, we combine the emotional arc of a struggle-to-triumph story with the high energy of an
anthemic rock arrangement. The meta tags ensure the instrumentation is classic rock (distorted guitars and pounding
drums) and the mood is empowering. By specifying a gritty vocal style, the AI will likely produce raspy, intense lyrics
delivery, which suits rock anthems. The structure includes a pre-chorus to build tension and a bridge for a guitar solo –
both staples of the genre for dynamic interest. This should result in a fist-pumping rock song that wouldn’t feel out of
place in a stadium, complete with a chorus that listeners could shout along to. It’s a practical example of guiding the AI
to make a song both emotionally resonant and musically adrenaline-charged.

One-Size-Fits-All Songwriting Prompt

Prompt: “Write a hit song in [Genre] about [a universal theme]. The song should start with an attention-
grabbing intro, have verses that tell a story, and a powerful, catchy chorus that encapsulates the main
message. Use a [Mood] tone throughout. Structure the song clearly:
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Ensure the lyrics are relatable and the chorus hook is memorable (the kind that gets stuck in your head).
Include details in verses and a simple, sing-along chorus. End with a strong finale.”

This final prompt is a versatile template that can be adapted to virtually any genre or theme – a one-size-fits-all starting
point for songwriting. You would replace [Genre] with the desired style (for example, Pop, Rock, EDM, Country, etc.),
[a universal theme] with your subject (love, friendship, ambition, etc.), and [Mood] with the tone (happy, bittersweet,
angry, etc.). The prompt instructs the AI to follow a standard hit song structure and emphasizes the crucial pieces: an
attention-grabbing intro, storytelling verses, and a catchy chorus. It explicitly asks for relatable lyrics and a memorable
hook, which draws on the viral songwriting insights we discussed. This kind of prompt is practical when you want the
AI to generate a full song and you can fill in the blanks depending on your project. It gives enough guidance to produce
a solid song outline that you can then refine.
