How to make a song with AI
- Choose your lyrics modeSelect Write my lyrics to paste your own, or Auto lyrics from a topic and type something like “a summer road trip to the Grand Canyon.”
- Describe the musical styleName the vocal type first, then genre, instruments and mood: “male vocal, 90s rock, distorted guitars, energetic.”
- Set the length and languagePick 30 seconds to 8 minutes, and choose one of 50 sung languages or let it auto-detect from your lyrics. Auto lyrics are written about your topic in the language you choose.
- Instrumental or vocalTick Instrumental only if you just want the backing track without a singer.
- Generate the songEnter the 5-digit code, press Generate Song, listen and download.
How to format lyrics for an AI song
Structure tags help the AI song generator understand where the verse ends and the chorus begins. Put each tag in square brackets on its own line:
[Verse 1] Woke up early, coffee in my hand Sunlight dancing on the kitchen pan [Chorus] It’s a good day, yeah, it’s a good day Nothing’s gonna get in my way [Verse 2] ...
A few rules of thumb:
- Keep lines short. Six to ten syllables per line is easy to sing.
- Repeat the chorus. Real songs repeat their hook; the AI will too if you write it out each time.
- Match length to lyrics. Two verses and two choruses fit comfortably in about 2 to 3 minutes. A very long lyric sheet needs a longer duration.
- Match the mood. Sad lyrics with “upbeat party pop” in the style box can sound confused. Keep words and style aligned.
