Common Mistakes

No [Chorus] tag in lyrics: Suno cannot distinguish chorus without explicit tag - it may not create contrast
Chorus lyrics too long or complex: Choruses need short, catchy, repeatable phrases - not story continuation
Same energy in verse and chorus: Without dynamic contrast, chorus does not feel special or powerful
Missing 'anthemic' or 'powerful' descriptors: Suno needs explicit instruction to make chorus bigger than verses
Chorus sounds like another verse: Lyrics and style need clear differentiation between sections

Quick Fixes

Problem	Fix
`Chorus same energy as verse`	Add to prompt: 'powerful chorus', 'dynamic contrast', 'explosive chorus'

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my chorus sound like another verse?

You likely lack contrast cues. Add explicit tags: [Verse] and [Chorus]. Write shorter, catchier chorus lyrics. Include style descriptors: 'powerful chorus', 'anthemic', 'full arrangement'. Verses should feel 'intimate' or 'restrained' by comparison.

How do I write hookier chorus lyrics?

Keep chorus lyrics short - ideally 2-4 lines that repeat. Use simple, memorable phrases. Avoid continuing the verse story. Focus on emotional payoff, not new information. The best choruses are instantly singable after one listen.

What makes a chorus feel 'big'?

Add arrangement descriptors: 'full band', 'layered vocals', 'harmonies', 'wall of sound', 'maximum instrumentation'. Contrast with verses described as 'sparse', 'intimate', 'stripped back'. The contrast creates the 'big' chorus feel.

How do I build tension for chorus payoff?

Describe the arc in your prompt: 'building verse', 'increasing intensity', 'tension before chorus', 'explosive payoff'. In lyrics, use [Pre-Chorus] to build anticipation. The bigger the build, the more satisfying the chorus hits.

Can I have multiple different choruses?

Generally, choruses should be consistent for memorability. But you can use [Final Chorus] for a bigger ending version. Or add 'building choruses' to your prompt so each chorus feels slightly more intense than the last.
