How to Use Suno AI’s Special Tags (Epic Intro, Drop, Whisper & More)

Featured Creator: Worlds Beyond – AI Stories

Watch: Worlds Beyond – AI Stories demonstrates Suno AI’s special tags in action.

Turning Prompts Into Performance

One of the most powerful features inside Suno AI isn’t just the prompt—it’s what you can hide inside your lyrics. Creator Worlds Beyond – AI Stories recently showed how “special tags” like [epic intro], [slow build], and [explosive drop] can completely reshape how a track unfolds.

By embedding tags directly into the lyrics, the AI engine interprets performance cues — changing energy, intensity, or even vocal delivery on the fly. These cues help you control the *feel* of your music without manually remixing sections.

Key Tags Featured in the Demo

  • [epic intro] — Opens with cinematic intensity.
  • [slow build] — Gradually increases energy before a drop.
  • [explosive drop] — Delivers maximum bass and drums for impact.
  • [spoken word] — Switches vocal delivery to narration style.
  • [whispered verse] — Adds intimacy and contrast before the next section.
  • [shouted chorus] — Pushes vocal power and crowd energy.
  • [opera solo] — Adds a dramatic soprano-style flourish.
  • [guitar solo] — Inserts a lead riff or instrumental break.

Prompt Used in the Test

“Funky electro-pop with disco bass, sassy female lead plus hype male adlibs, energetic and cheeky. Include a dramatic operatic soprano solo with long vibrato notes in the style of a grand Italian opera full of reverb and spotlighted in the mix.”

Combined with the tags above, this produced a dynamic and unpredictable song where each section felt intentional. The result? A full AI-generated track that flowed like a real studio arrangement.

What You Should Know

These tags act as performance suggestions, not guarantees. Suno interprets them based on surrounding lyrics and tone, so results can vary. Sometimes you’ll get subtle shifts, other times a full transformation.

The key is to experiment — try combining [slow build] before a [shouted chorus] or use [spoken word] between verses for contrast. The more context you give, the smarter Suno responds.

Final Takeaway

This experiment from Worlds Beyond – AI Stories perfectly captures the creative flexibility of Suno AI’s tag system. Whether you’re producing cinematic soundtracks, AI pop, or experimental remixes, mastering these tags can help your songs evolve beyond static prompts.
