Step by step
Develop lyrics, theme and mood plus a matching genre description.
A good set of lyrics has a clear message and a recurring line that sticks. Have the text written structured into verses and chorus and revise it until the core message lands.
Example promptWrite lyrics on the topic [topic], mood [happy/melancholic/energetic], with verses and a catchy chorus. Also suggest a matching genre and tempo.
Generate a complete song with vocals from text and a style brief.
When generating the song, it pays to create several versions. Describe genre and mood as concretely as possible – vague input leads to random results.
Example prompt[genre], [mood], [male/female] vocals, [tempo]. Lyrics: "[paste your lyrics]"
Generate matching cover artwork in the desired style.
A fitting cover artwork turns the track into a complete whole, especially when you share it on social media. Keep the image style matched to the song's mood.
Example promptAlbum cover for a [genre] song titled "[title]", mood [mood], style [e.g. abstract, photorealistic], square --ar 1:1
Edit a simple visualizer or lyric video for social media.
A simple visualizer or lyric video is plenty for social media to make the song visible. The focus stays on the music; the video is just the frame.
Example promptCreate a lyric video for my song "[title]": lyrics displayed in sync, matching background animation in the style [style], format 9:16 for Reels.
Tips & common mistakes
- Most common mistake: a too-vague style description. The more concrete genre, tempo, and mood, the better the result.
- Always generate several versions and compare – the second or third is often noticeably better than the first.
- Mind the licence when publishing. Private use and commercial use aren't the same thing.
- A catchy, recurring line makes a song memorable. Put the most effort into the chorus.
