- A rough idea of the genre and mood you want (e.g. "upbeat pop about summer")
- Free account on Suno — takes 1 minute
- No musical experience needed
Describe your song on Suno
Tell the AI what kind of song you want using a simple text prompt
1. Go to suno.com and sign in with your Google or Discord account 2. Click "Create" in the left sidebar 3. In the prompt box, describe your song in one clear sentence, e.g.: "Upbeat indie pop about summer road trips, female vocals, catchy chorus" 4. Optionally toggle "Custom" mode to write your own lyrics or specify a title 5. Click "Create" and wait 30–60 seconds for two versions to generate
Pick the best version from generated options
Listen to both generated versions and choose your favorite
1. Click play on the first version and listen all the way through 2. Click play on the second version and compare 3. Pay attention to: vocal quality, how catchy the chorus is, and whether the lyrics make sense 4. If neither version is good enough, click "Create" again with a slightly tweaked prompt 5. You get 10 free songs per day, so you have room to experiment 6. Once you find a version you like, click the heart icon to save it to your favorites
Refine with extend or remix
Make the song longer or try variations on your best version
1. Click on your favorite song to open it 2. Click "Extend" to add more length — this continues the song from where it left off 3. Choose whether to extend with the same style or add a bridge/outro 4. Wait 30–60 seconds for the extension to generate 5. Listen to the extended version — if the transition sounds natural, you're done 6. Alternatively, click "Remix" to create a variation with a different arrangement but similar lyrics
