Songwriting for Suno, from AIE

Talk it out , paste it in.

Describe the song the way you'd tell a producer — half sentences, "kind of like", whatever. MelodyPrompts writes the Suno style box, the exclude list and finished, section-tagged lyrics, checks them, and hands you three boxes to paste.

No card to start. Your lyrics are yours — no cut, no claim.

You typehopeful but not corny. walking home after the night shift. kind of a cello in the bridge, no drops

Lyrics

excerpt

      

It reads you like a producer would

Most of what you say is an example, not an order. "Kind of a cello in the bridge" means one exposed, sustained voice in a stripped bridge — not a literal cello pasted into a trap beat. A count or a "no" is a rule: "no drops" means no drops.

When it makes a call on something you left loose, it tells you in one line — "read 'tambourine' as bright hand percussion, used a shaker" — so one word back fixes it.

Four ways in

Write something new, or bring a song you already have.

  • Industry StandardOne genre, built the way that genre is built. Ask for something from outside it and it says no by name, then tells you how to get it.
  • CustomTwo genres from anywhere, plus textures from any other: drum and bass drums under a trap verse, a gospel choir on a dubstep drop. Each one lands on one part, so it still sounds like one song.
  • Fix My PromptPaste the style box and lyrics you have. The style box gets fixed, the exclude list rebuilt, and your lyrics stay word for word, get touched up line by line, or get rewritten. Your call.
  • Fix My BeatPaste a song that isn't working and it rebuilds the whole thing, sound and words, around what you were going for. Lock the lines you love.

Steer the writing, or don't

Every control starts on Engine picks. Touch the ones you care about.

  • DepthFrom Surface, where every word lands on the first listen, to Abyss: the things people feel and never say, in packed bars. Every line still makes sense the first time; the third listen finds what's under it.
  • Word worldThe lyrics borrow their nouns and verbs from one real world: a trade, a scene, a city. It's the biggest reason they don't sound like everyone else's AI song.
  • Rhyme and flowWhere the rhymes land, how the words ride the beat, how they're delivered. Head rhyme, triplet bounce, behind the beat, a slurred mumble.
  • AngleThe big idea underneath, the tension, who's talking and from where. Hand it a thought experiment and it builds the whole song on it without ever naming it.
  • HookLock your own hook, give its melody a shape so Suno doesn't fall back on its default tune, set how many verses.
  • Build cardEvery song comes with a card showing what the engine chose, so you can see what it did and steer the next one.

Three boxes, one paste each

Built for Suno's fields and its limits, so nothing gets cut off and nothing in one box works against another.

  • StyleWhat the track sounds like, in the order Suno weighs it: genre, tempo, drums, bass, lead, the hook's melody, voice. Bass always stacked as a clean sub plus a character layer. Under 1,000 characters.
  • ExcludeWritten fresh for this song's instruments, so what you don't want stays out without dragging the mood toward it.
  • LyricsSection tags Suno follows, a hook that comes back word-for-word every time, a bridge after the last verse that lands on the final hook. Under 5,000 characters.

The order is the point

Every song runs the same path. The story is set before a single rhyme, the hook locks before the verses, and the sound is chosen after the words exist — so the beat serves the song you actually wrote.

  1. 0 Reads your brief and your words
  2. 0.5 Genre rules and blend mode
  3. 1 Conflict, point of view, what's true underneath
  4. 2 Song shape and bar counts for the genre
  5. 3 The hook — locked from here on
  6. 4 Images and content, within the genre's word budget
  7. 4.5 Pushes away from what every AI song sounds like
  8. 5 Rhyme chains, flow, line rhythm
  9. 6 One voice, one delivery
  10. 7 Sound, bass, groove, then the style box
  11. 8 Checks: limits, hook, bridge, clichés, your past hooks

Checked before you see it

Every build goes through a checker in code: character limits, the hook identical at every return, the bridge in the right place, banned words, the clichés AI lyrics fall into, and your own earlier hooks. Anything flagged goes back for a fix pass automatically.

Add your own banned words per song. Turn on the hook check and it searches released songs for the same phrase or premise before you commit.

Start from a sound, or from yours

Over a hundred one-click presets: riddim, tearout, liquid, neurofunk, jungle, UK drill over halfstep, Memphis rap into darkstep, corridos over dubstep, a full beat tape. Pick one, say what the song is about, build.

Or name your own sound. Save a style once (tempo, drums, bass, vocal, shape, what to keep out) and every build starts from it. Share it and other artists can use it, credited to you. Your memory carries your name, your lines, your ad-libs and the words you never want, into every song.

Yours, all the way

You keep every word MelodyPrompts writes for you. No license fee on your lyrics, no share of your masters or publishing, no claim on what you make with them.

Your songs, personas, styles, memory and banned words stay in your account and teach your own ledger — so song twenty doesn't repeat song three.
