Suno AI Prompt Engineering: Style vs Lyrics Meta Tags

Suno AI Prompt Engineering Guide (Templates + Tags) JR • JackRighteous.com Bee Righteous Training Series GET JACKED INTO SUNO Suno V5 • Tech Spec • January 2026 Suno V5 Meta Tags — Technical Spec Built for creators who want repeatable control. This page separates Style of Music instructions (global) from Lyrics box directives (local timeline control), with collisions, fixes, and copy/paste templates. How to use this page Start with the “Ruleset” and “Placement” sections. Then pick one control goal (identity, vocals, energy, mix) and run small A/B tests. Log winners in your Combo Vault. What this is (and isn’t) This is a spec + reference (manual). For full step-by-step training, pair it with the GET JACKED series workflows and the Bee Righteous modules in your bundle. Start: GET JACKED INTO SUNO Join Suno (Invite) Follow JR on Suno Bundle note: This Tech Spec is included as a no-charge add-on inside your training bundle. Keep it bookmarked as your “prompt control reference.” Start Here (Beginner Quick Setup) If you’re new: use the Style box to set the overall sound, and use the Lyrics box to control the song timeline. Style of Music: pick 1 genre + 1 mood + 1–2 instruments. Lyrics box: add section labels: [Verse] [Chorus] [Bridge]. Generate: keep prompts short. Change one variable at a time. Fix fast: use Replace Section to repair only the weak part (not full re-gen). Top Beginner Tag Stack (Copy/Paste) Genre, Mood, Instrument 1, Instrument 2, Clean mix Example: pop, uplifting, piano, strings, clean mix What This Page Is (Quick Summary) This Suno AI Prompt Engineering Guide helps you get better generations by placing the right tags in the right box. The main rule is simple: the Style of Music box controls the overall sound (global identity), while the Lyrics box controls structure and delivery (local control). Use Style for genre, mood, instruments, tempo, and mix goals. Use Lyrics for section labels like [Verse], [Chorus], and performance cues like [whispered], [spoken], or [harmonies]. You’ll also find an A–Z tag library, copy/paste templates, and a collision matrix showing which tag combinations tend to fail. If a song is close but not perfect, don’t waste credits regenerating everything—use Replace Section to fix only the weak part (intro, chorus, vocals, bridge). This reference is part of the GET JACKED INTO SUNO and Bee Righteous training series. Suno Meta Tags Guide V5 (Jan 2026) A creator-ready reference for using meta tags in Style of Music vs the Lyrics box — structured for beginners, usable for power users. Featured rule: Use Style of Music for the global brief (genre, era, core instruments, overall mood/production). Use the Lyrics box for timeline control (section labels like [Verse], performance cues like [spoken word], and change moments like [Drop]). Jump to Rules Copy Quick Templates Open Tag Library Tip: keep tags short. One job per bracket beats a “kitchen sink” bracket. Rules: Style vs Lyrics (Global vs Local) The fastest way to stop wasting credits is to separate “global” instructions from “local” instructions. Style Style of Music box = global brief Genre / fusion (what the track is) Era / reference flavor (80s / 90s / modern / vintage) Core instrumentation (2–3 anchors) Overall mood (one dominant mood) Overall production feel (lo-fi, glossy, raw, cinematic) Think: “set the room.” If you want changes later, do it in Lyrics. Lyrics Lyrics box = timeline control Section labels: [Intro] [Verse] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Outro] Change moments: [Build-Up] [Drop] [Breakdown] Performance cues: [spoken word] [whispered] [stacked harmonies] Energy control: tag the chorus only, instead of the whole song. [Chorus] [Energy: High] [stacked harmonies] Write your hook here... Think: “right now.” This is where you shape contrast across the song. Formatting rules (avoid “singing your tags”) Put tags in square brackets (example: [Verse]). Place tags on their own line before the lyric lines they should affect. Keep tags short (one word or short phrase). Avoid long sentences inside brackets; use plain text outside brackets for notes. Quick-start templates Copy/paste these. Then change one variable at a time (genre, mood, instrument anchors, chorus cues). Beginner template (clean + reliable) STYLE OF MUSIC: modern pop, uplifting, crisp mix, guitar + synth pad, big chorus LYRICS: [Intro] [Instrumental] (8 bars) [Verse] Write your verse here... [Pre-Chorus] Build the tension... [Chorus] [Energy: High] [stacked harmonies] Write your hook here... [Verse 2] New verse... [Bridge] [Breakdown] Switch it up... [Final Chorus] [Energy: High] Repeat hook... [Outro] [Fade Out] Power user template (precision + contrast) STYLE OF MUSIC: dark synthwave, 80s, wide stereo, analog warmth, pulsing bass, gated drums LYRICS: [Intro] [Instrumental] (short cinematic intro) [Verse] [low intensity] Lyrics... [Pre-Chorus] [Build-Up] Lyrics... [Chorus] [Energy: High] [anthemic chorus] [stacked harmonies] Lyrics... [Bridge] [Breakdown] [whispered] Lyrics... [Drop] [Instrumental] (sub drop impact) [Final Chorus] [Energy: High] Lyrics... [Outro] [Fade Out] Copy tip: If you want the chorus to repeat cleanly, keep the chorus lyrics identical and reuse the same chorus cues. If you want variation, change one thing (energy, harmony, or instrumentation), not five. Expanded Tag Library (V5-ready) 276 tags/phrases, organized for Style vs Lyrics usage. Treat Style as the global brief; treat Lyrics as the timeline. Keep your own “known-good” combos and iterate one variable at a time. Expanded Tag Library (V5-ready) — Search + A–Z Index ABCDEFGHIJK LMNOPQ RSTUVW XYZ Best practice: keep the Style box short (MVCS), then use Lyrics directives for section control. Use this search to find a tag fast.

Low How to read confidence: High = stable structural cues; Medium = widely-used creator phrasing; Low = observed and useful, but variable by genre/model. V4.5 → V5: What changed What stayed consistent Style of Music still acts as a global brief. Lyrics section labels still drive structure and reduce repeats. Short bracket cues remain the safest way to guide performance. What’s stronger in V5 (creator-facing) Better section-to-section flow when your structure is labeled. More consistent instrument/voice persistence when Style is clean. Dynamic contrast improves when you tag only the sections that need it. Your research-backed V5 notes should replace/expand this list once the deep research results are merged. V5 best practices (Jan 2026) Keep Style to the minimum viable global description. Use Lyrics cues to create contrast (quiet verse → big chorus). Avoid long bracket sentences; keep cues compact. For predictable repeats: reuse chorus lyrics and cues. FAQ + Troubleshooting Why does Suno ignore my tags? Usually: too many tags at once, conflicting instructions, or tags placed mid-line so they get treated like lyrics. Reduce to one purpose per cue and place cues on their own line before the lyrics they should affect. Why does it repeat lines/sections? Most often: missing section labels, chorus lines that are too long, or unclear separation between verse and chorus. Label sections and keep hook lines short. How do I force an instrumental section? Use [Instrumental] under the section label, and don’t include lyric lines in that section. JackRighteous.com — Suno prompt engineering resources.
