THE STARTING IDEA

How to Write an AI Song Prompt

A useful song prompt gives the generator a direction without trying to decide every note. Start with the feeling, then add a few details that matter most to you.

01

Begin with a mood and a scene

Choose a feeling and a simple story: a quiet morning, a late-night drive, or a celebration. Add a genre or reference to an arrangement such as acoustic folk, warm soul, or atmospheric pop.

02

Describe the voice and instruments

Use concrete language for the vocal delivery, such as intimate, conversational, airy, or powerful. Mention one or two instruments that should shape the song, then leave room for the arrangement to develop.

03

Listen, then change one detail

The same description can produce different results. If the first song is close, adjust a single element such as the energy of the chorus or the vocal style and compare the next version.
