🎵 What Makes a Great Suno AI Music Prompt?

A great AI music prompt isn’t just about listing a genre. It’s a carefully structured command that guides the AI in generating a track that aligns with your vision. Whether you're composing for a film soundtrack, a hip-hop beat, or an orchestral score, your prompt should include:

• Genre: Defines the style (e.g., jazz, rock, EDM, lo-fi hip-hop).
• Mood & Emotion: Sets the tone (e.g., melancholic, energetic, ethereal).
• Instrumentation: Specifies key instruments (e.g., electric guitar, synthesizers, brass section).
• Rhythm & Tempo: Guides the pace (e.g., "120 BPM upbeat" vs. "slow ambient").
• Vocal Type & Structure: (If applicable) Defines male/female vocals, choirs, or spoken-word elements.

• Problem: "The song structure feels random." → Solution: Indicate if you want a verse-chorus format, instrumental breakdowns, or bridges.
