How to Make a Song with AI (Step by Step)

Write one sentence: who the song is for and where it will play (TikTok hook, YouTube intro, wedding gift). Vague prompts like “epic song” waste credits.

Pick a genre lane from the Genres hub so your style line stays coherent. Open the matching Use Case page if you need length and dynamics tips.

If you care about specific lines, open the AI Lyrics Generator, describe mood + story, then refine the output. When you are ready, use Generate Music—AI-Song stores prefillLyrics and prefillMode=custom for Create.

If you only need a mood bed, skip lyrics and prompt an instrumental in Create so vocals never fight dialogue or VO.

Open Create, confirm custom vs inspiration mode, add a short style string (genre, BPM, vocal tone), and generate. Generation uses partner music-model APIs—treat takes as drafts you curate, not automatic masters.

Listen once without editing—note what to change: tempo, vocal gender, energy, or lyric density. Iterate with small prompt edits rather than rewriting everything.

Need karaoke or beds? Try Vocal Remover. Need a second layer? Add Track. Need a consistent singer? Voices/Personas (only with voices you have rights to). Need a visual? Music Video or AI Music Video. Need VO or Foley? Text to Speech and Sound Effects.

Before monetized or client use, read Licensing and confirm your plan includes commercial rights. Keep the official download and your plan receipt.

AI songs can be uneven. Not every take is release-ready. We do not promise label deals, guaranteed viral reach, or unrestricted free commercial use on every plan.

We do not endorse cloning living artists or celebrity voices. We do not claim proprietary ownership of upstream models. Treat this guide as a workflow, not a guarantee of chart success.
