Common Mistakes

Not specifying tempo energy: 'Happy' emotion without 'upbeat' or 'energetic' may produce slow happy ballads
Conflicting moody tags: Removing 'atmospheric' or 'moody' prevents unintentional sadness creep
Missing brightness in production: Dark or lo-fi production undercuts upbeat mood - specify 'bright' production
Generic 'happy' without specifics: 'Happy' is vague - use 'joyful', 'euphoric', 'cheerful', 'sunny' for clarity
Wrong vocal energy: Breathy or intimate vocals don't match high energy - specify 'powerful' or 'energetic vocals'

Quick Fixes

Problem	Fix
`Not energetic enough`	Add: 'driving beat', 'high-energy', 'uptempo', 'pumping', 'intense'
`Too dark or moody`	Add: 'bright', 'sunny', 'joyful'. Remove: 'atmospheric', 'moody', 'dark'
`No hook appeal`	Add: 'catchy hooks', 'singalong chorus', 'memorable melody', 'anthem'
