Need lyrics? Get AI to write them!

To choose your song lyrics before generating, look for the "Full song" button in the Lyrics section of Suno's Custom Mode.

Here, you describe what the lyrics should be about, and Suno will generate two sets of lyrics for you. You can freely edit the description to get the results you want.

If you don't want to use Suno's AI generation, use any other tool you're used to (e.g., Chat-GPT or Google Gemini).

How to do it:

  • Enter a prompt: describe what the lyrics should be about, their style, and structure.

Example prompt: Write lyrics for a song in the style of Nohavica meets Pokáč about a man and his love for a virtual assistant. The lyrics should have 3 verses and a chorus. The mood should be humorous and melancholic. Include tags like [Verse], [Chorus], etc. in the text.

Want to optimize your prompt for the best possible song lyrics in Suno? Copy our Cheatsheet from the Tips section and add it to your prompt.

  • Paste into Suno (Custom Mode): Copy the modified lyrics into the "Lyrics" field in Suno.

What's next?

  • Download: Click the three dots and select "Download Audio" or "Download Video."
  • Save: Save the song to your library ("Add to Collection").
  • Continue: Want a longer song? Click "Continue From This Clip" and add more lyrics (in Custom Mode) or adjust the prompt. This is great for epic songs!
  • Remix: Create a new version of an existing song (yours or someone else's from "Explore").
  • Publish: Share your music with the community, but you can't edit it after that.

Tips and Tricks

Cheatsheet

  • Meta Tags = Instructions: They tell the AI what and how to play. Use brackets!
  • Be Specific: Instead of general genres, try more specific ones:
    • Instead of: Rock -> Try: Indie Rock, Punk Rock, Classic Rock, Psychedelic Rock
    • Instead of: Pop -> Try: Synth-pop, Dance-pop, Indie Pop, K-pop
    • Instead of: Electronic -> Try: Ambient, Techno, House, Drum and Bass, Dubstep

Song Structure (in brackets):

  • [Intro] - Beginning of the song. You can add details: [Intro - Slow piano], [Intro - Acoustic guitar]
  • [Verse] - Use [Verse 1], [Verse 2] to separate them.
  • [Pre-Chorus] - The section before the chorus, building tension.
  • [Chorus] - [Chorus - Strong vocals], [Chorus - Catchy melody]
  • [Bridge] - A connecting section, often with a different mood or instrumentation. [Bridge - Instrumental], [Bridge - Emotional]
  • [Outro] - The end. [Outro - Fade out], [Outro - Slow decay]
  • [Solo] - [Guitar solo], [Piano solo], [Saxophone solo]

Sound Effects:

  • In brackets: [Barking], [Cheering], [Phone ringing], [Birds chirping], [Thunder clap], [Ocean waves]
  • In asterisks (sometimes works better): *gunshots*, *birds chirping*, *laughter*

Vocals:

  • Type: [Male Vocal], [Female Vocal], [Child's Voice], [Robot Voice]
  • Style: [Whispering vocals], [Screaming vocals], [Angelic voice], [Gospel vocals]
  • Emphasis: USE CAPITAL LETTERS AND PUNCTUATION (!, ?) FOR EMPHASIS
  • Multiple voices/harmonization: (background vocals), (oohs and aahs) – insert into the lyrics. Example: "Singing in the rain (rain)"

Spoken Word:

  • Key Tags: [Spoken word], [Narration], [Spoken verse], [Sprechgesang]
  • In brackets: (This is the spoken part, like a story.)
  • Combine tags and brackets.
  • Sometimes it takes several attempts for the AI to understand.
  • Try adding a description of the spoken word's mood: [Spoken word - mysterious], [Narration - cheerful]

Other Tricks:

  • Extending Syllables (for melody): goo-o-o-odbye, lo-o-o-ve
  • Bypassing Censorship: sh*t, fuhk, dye (instead of "die")
  • Custom Mode: Separate lyrics and style (in the Suno interface).
  • Musical Instruments: Be specific: [Acoustic Guitar], [Electric Guitar], [Grand Piano], [Synth Bass], [Drum Machine]
  • Tempo and Dynamics: [Fast tempo], [Slow tempo], [Crescendo], [Starts out quietly, builds to a climax]
  • Regional Styles: [UK rock male vocal], [Atlanta rap], [J-pop], [K-pop]

Ending the Song:

  • [end] - Abrupt ending.
  • [fade out] - Gradual fade out (sometimes doesn't work perfectly).
  • [Instrumental Fade Out] - Gradual fade out of the instruments.
  • Be specific, but not too specific: Too many details can confuse Suno.
  • Experiment: Try unusual combinations of genres and moods – for example, "jazz-metal" or "ambient-country."
  • Use adjectives: "Intense," "ethereal," "pulsating," "melancholy"...
  • Discord community: A place for discussion, sharing, and getting help from other users.
  • SunoAI Wiki: A community wiki full of tips, tricks, and tutorials.

So there you have it! Now you're ready to start making your own music with Suno.com. Play around with different prompts, genres, and lyrics, and see what you can invent. The possibilities are limitless, so enjoy yourself, and happy creating!
