1. Start with Your Vision

The first section of the Flagship Song Plan asks you to define your purpose and audience. This is your opportunity to clarify why you’re creating this song and who it’s for.

• What to Do: Write down the main goal of your song (e.g., personal expression, promotional campaign, building a fanbase). Think about your target audience: Who will connect with this song? What platforms will they find it on?
• Why It Matters: Defining your vision helps ensure every decision—lyrics, tone, instrumentation—aligns with your goals.

2. Build Your Creative Direction

Next, outline the identity of your song. This includes the genre, mood, and any key elements you want to incorporate.

• What to Do: Specify the genre (e.g., reggae, lo-fi, pop). Describe the mood (e.g., uplifting, reflective, energetic). List key instruments or sounds (e.g., acoustic guitar, vocal harmonies).
• Why It Matters: This step helps create a cohesive foundation for your track, making it easier to craft prompts and refine ideas later.

3. Develop Prompts and Ideas

Prompts are the backbone of AI music creation. The Flagship Song Plan provides space to track prompts as they evolve, from simple starting points to refined, expert-level inputs.

• What to Do: Start with a basic Suno AI prompt (e.g., "Create an upbeat pop song with a tropical vibe"). Test the result, then adjust and refine the prompt (e.g., "An energetic pop track with steel drums, vocal harmonies, and a catchy chorus about summer adventures").
• Why It Matters: Iterative prompts let you build on initial ideas, ensuring every section of your song aligns with your vision.

4. Organize Your Song Structure

This section helps you map out the lyrics, arrangement, and flow of your song.

• What to Do: Write down initial ideas for each song section (e.g., intro, verse, chorus). Track any lyric drafts or themes for each section. Note specific arrangement details, like transitions, dynamics, or standout moments.
• Why It Matters: A clear structure ensures your song flows naturally and resonates with listeners.

5. Define Success Metrics

The final section asks you to think about what success looks like for your song. This could be personal fulfillment, streaming milestones, or social media engagement.

• What to Do: Set realistic goals: How many plays, shares, or playlist adds are you aiming for? Think about personal goals: How do you want to feel about the finished product? Consider impact: What do you want listeners to take away from your song?
• Why It Matters: Having measurable goals gives you a clear target to aim for and helps you track your progress.

Tips for Making the Most of the Plan

• Print It Out: This plan is designed to be printed and written on. Use it as a hands-on tool to guide your process.
