Mastering the [Outro] Prompt in Suno AI's 'Extend' Feature

This article was updated on April 16, 2025 with new prompt modifiers and usage best practices.

Crafting a compelling outro is essential for leaving a lasting impression on your listeners. In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively use the [Outro] prompt in Suno AI's Extend feature to create memorable song endings that align with your artistic vision.

🎵 What is an Outro?

An outro is the final section of a song, providing closure and emotional resolution. It might feature a simple fade, a climactic final chorus, or a quiet instrumental conclusion. The right outro enhances the listening experience and gives your track a lasting sense of identity.

🛠️ Using the [Outro] Prompt in Suno AI

  1. Open the Extend Feature: In your Suno AI project, select the track you want to conclude and click Extend.
  2. Choose a Start Point: Select the timestamp where you want the outro to begin (e.g., 2:30 in a 3-minute song).
  3. Input Your Prompt: Type [Outro] in the prompt field. Consider adding modifiers like [Soft outro] or [Epic outro] to guide the sound.
  4. Generate the Segment: Click “Generate” and let Suno AI create the ending section based on your input.
  5. Review and Tweak: Listen to the result. If needed, change the prompt style or adjust the starting point and regenerate.

🎛️ Effective Outro Prompt Variations

  • [Soft outro] – Gentle fade, mellow instrumentation, emotional resolution.
  • [Epic outro] – Powerful and climactic; great for rock, gospel, or cinematic tracks.
  • [Instrumental outro] – Ends the song with a musical solo or layered instrumental fade.
  • [Ambient outro] – Dreamy and atmospheric; uses textures and effects to close.
  • [Percussive outro] – Rhythmic-focused ending using drums, claps, or loops.

🎯 Best Practices for Creating Outros

  • Match the Mood: Make sure your outro reflects the genre and emotion of the full track.
  • Keep It Concise: Don’t drag it out—most outros work well in 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Use Thematic Echoes: Reintroduce elements from the intro or chorus to create a satisfying full-circle feel.
  • Consider Contrast: A stripped-down or unexpected outro can leave a stronger impression than a repeat of earlier elements.

📌 Prompt Examples by Genre

  • Gospel: [Outro, soft organ, distant choir, fade out]
  • Rock: [Epic outro, distorted guitar, cymbal swell]
  • Lo-fi: [Ambient outro, vinyl crackle, soft piano]
  • EDM: [Outro, filtered synth, reverb decay, pulsing bass fade]

xGreat question!
If you’re using the outro prompt from the Suno AI Outro Prompt Guide, you should put it in the Lyrics box, not the styles box.

The Styles box is mainly for describing the genre, mood, or production feel. The outro prompt contains specific lyrics and arrangement cues, so it belongs in the Lyrics section.

Let me know if you want help customizing it for your song!

Do you put it in the lyrics box or styles box?
