Suno Lyric Meta Tags (Brackets): One Valentine Song Workflow That Actually Works
This is the fastest way to make your Valentine song feel intentional instead of “generate and hope.” You’ll use a tight Style of Music prompt, then control the song using simple bracket tags inside Lyrics across Verse → Pre → Chorus → Bridge → Final.
What this micro article covers
- One workflow you can repeat for any Valentine-style song.
- One rule: Style box sets the “world,” Lyrics brackets control the “sections.”
- One deliverable: a copy/paste template (you swap your story + hook).

This free post is designed to give you one reliable workflow. VIP is where the full library and expansion lives.
Pick your Valentine angle (choose 1)
Don’t start with tags. Start with a simple “truth” your chorus can repeat. Choose one angle and write one hook line.
| Angle | Hook starter |
|---|---|
| Devotion | “I still choose you…” |
| New love | “I didn’t expect you…” |
| Long-distance | “I’m there even when I’m not…” |
| Apology | “I’m done being proud…” |
| Anti-Valentine | “I’m not begging again…” |
Beginner rule: your chorus should repeat one hook line at least twice. Keep it short.
Copy/paste workflow (one song)
Use the Style box to set the “world.” Use Lyrics brackets to control section behavior. Keep this simple on the first run.
1) Style of Music (paste this)
This prompt is Valentine-optimized without being too strict. You can swap genre later.
Modern Valentine pop / pop-R&B, romantic mood, warm keys, clean drums, subtle bass, intimate verse then bigger chorus, radio-ready hook, emotional lift, modern clean mix, clear lead vocal
2) Lyrics (paste this template)
Put bracket tags on their own lines under each section header. Then write your lyrics in plain language. Keep chorus shorter than verse.
[Title] (Your Song Title) [Verse 1] [intimate] [soft] [breathy] [close mic] [steady phrasing] (write one scene + one real detail) (example: a text message, a streetlight, a late-night drive) [Pre-Chorus] [rising tension] [more space] [push emotion] (short lines that lean into the hook) [Chorus] [big lift] [open vowels] [anthem] [repeat hook] [light harmonies] (write one hook line and repeat it twice) (example hook: “I still choose you…”) [Verse 2] [conversational] [slightly stronger] (raise the stakes: what changed, what you learned) [Pre-Chorus 2] [rising tension] [build faster] [more urgency] (set up the final chorus) [Bridge] [dropout] [confession] [whisper then grow] (reveal the truth you avoided earlier) [Final Chorus] [return full] [biggest] [more harmonies] [adlibs light] [repeat hook] (same hook, higher emotion, keep it clean) [Outro] [strip back] [soft] [one last line] (one last statement that lands)
Simple rule: If your chorus feels weak, it usually has too many words. Shorten it before you change your Style prompt.
Revision loop (credit-smart)
- Generate v1 exactly as-is. Don’t “fix” before you hear what Suno does.
- Fix section behavior first (brackets): reduce to 2–4 tags where needed.
- Fix chorus second: shorten lines + repeat one hook phrase twice.
- Fix bridge third: make it shorter + keep only [dropout] [confession].
- Touch Style last (global changes last, not first).
Fast win: If vocals ignore brackets, the fix is usually the same: put tags on separate lines, and cut the section to 2–4 tags.
If you want the full Valentine system (more styles, more tag libraries, more templates), that’s in VIP:
Keep this workflow saved. It’s meant to be reused. Swap the hook, swap the story, repeat.
