Generate Free — 5 Songs IncludedStart with your subgenre (synth-pop, dance-pop, indie pop), add mood (upbeat, euphoric, dreamy), specify instrumentation (synths, guitar, piano), define vocals (powerful, breathy, smooth), and finish with production quality (polished, lo-fi, crisp).
Include tags like 'catchy hooks', 'anthemic chorus', or 'memorable melody' in your style prompt. Structure your lyrics with a [Chorus] tag and keep chorus lyrics short and repetitive. Suno responds well to clear melodic direction.
Your genre tag might be too vague or conflicting with other tags. Put your genre first in the prompt. Avoid combining incompatible styles like 'pop metal' unless you want fusion. Check that mood and instrumentation tags align with pop conventions.
Explicitly state 'male vocals' or 'female vocals' in your style prompt. Add descriptors: 'smooth male vocals', 'powerful female vocals', 'breathy female voice'. Without specification, Suno chooses randomly.
Use energy descriptors rather than numbers: 'upbeat' and 'driving' for faster tempos, 'mid-tempo' for moderate pace, 'slow' or 'ballad' for slower songs. The energy tags influence tempo indirectly.
