Making Songs with Suno

What Is Suno?

Suno is an AI platform that generates full-length songs from text descriptions. It creates melodies, vocals, instruments, and lyrics together, allowing you to produce professional-quality content without musical knowledge. It made major breakthroughs with v3.5 in 2024 and v4 in 2025.

You can compare Suno with other AI music tools on tasarim.ai.

Account Creation and Getting Started

1. Go to suno.com
2. Sign up with Google, Discord, or email
3. Free plan: 5 songs per day (each ~2 minutes)
4. Pro plan ($10/mo): 50 songs per day + commercial usage rights
5. Premier plan ($30/mo): 200 songs per day + priority generation

Two Generation Modes

Description Mode

The easiest method. On the "Create" page, describe your song in natural language:

"Energetic pop song, female vocals, summer theme, catchy chorus, 120 BPM"

Suno automatically creates the style, lyrics, melody, and arrangement.

Custom Mode

You write your own lyrics. This mode provides more control:

Style field: "Pop, upbeat, female vocals, synth, 120 BPM"

Lyrics field:

[Intro]
(Energetic synth intro)

[Verse 1]
Sun is rising on the beach this morning
Salt wind blowing through my hair without warning
Dancing with you barefoot on the sand
Every step is love across this wonderland

[Chorus]
Summer's here, my heart is beating fast
Every moment with you shining bright to last
This rhythm carries us along the way
Our summer love is here to stay

[Verse 2]
Evening falls the stars begin to glow
In your eyes the ocean starts to flow
Music playing softly in my ears
You are in my every breath through all these years

[Chorus]
Summer's here, my heart is beating fast
Every moment with you shining bright to last
This rhythm carries us along the way
Our summer love is here to stay

[Bridge]
Let this night go on forever more
Let us live this moment to the core

[Outro]
(Slowly fading out)

Practical Exercises

1. Simple song: Write "Happy acoustic pop song about friendship" in Description mode and listen to the result
2. Custom lyrics: Create a song with your own 2-verse lyrics in Custom mode
3. Genre comparison: Generate the same lyrics in "pop", "rock", and "electronic" styles and listen to differences
4. Try Extend: Add a bridge and outro to a song you like
5. Instrumental: Generate background music with the "[Instrumental]" tag without writing lyrics

Tips and Considerations

• English style tags: Write style descriptions in English; lyrics can be in any language
• Short verses: 4-6 lines per verse is ideal; too-long lyrics can distort the melody
• Experiment: Two versions are generated per prompt; try at least 3-4 times
• Save seeds: Note the seed of songs you like; you can generate new songs in a similar style
• Cover art: Suno automatically generates cover art; you can also design custom covers with Midjourney
