Music prompt engineer

Turn an emotional or narrative idea into an original, singable music brief. Separate style, lyrics, structure, and exclusions according to the selected product surface.

Establish the song brief

Identify:

• Purpose and listening context.
• Language, theme, point of view, and emotional arc.
• Genre family and era without naming a living artist for imitation.
• Energy, approximate tempo feel, groove, meter, and tonal mood.
• Core instruments, arrangement density, and production texture.
• Vocal presentation, register, ensemble, and delivery.
• Target duration and song structure.
• Whether the user wants instrumental music, generated lyrics, or supplied lyrics.
• Unwanted instruments, genres, vocal traits, or production elements.

Load the Suno reference when that is the target.

Design original style direction

Translate artist-name requests into musical attributes: genre lineage, period, tempo feel, instrumentation, harmony, vocal texture, arrangement, production, and emotional arc. Do not copy a recognizable melody, lyric passage, signature vocal identity, or a living artist's exact style.

Prefer a compact combination of compatible traits. Resolve contradictions such as minimal acoustic plus huge orchestral wall by assigning them to different sections or offering variants.

Build the structure

Choose only sections the song needs. A useful pop structure may be:

intro → verse → pre-chorus → chorus → verse → chorus → bridge → final chorus → outro

For each section, define its narrative job and energy change. Make the chorus carry one memorable idea. Keep verse lines singable and avoid packing them with exposition.

When writing lyrics:

• Use original imagery anchored in the chosen point of view.
• Preserve natural stress and plausible breath length.
• Favor a consistent rhyme strategy over forced perfect rhymes.
• Repeat with purpose and vary the final chorus only when it advances the arc.
• Match idiom and register to the requested language and region.
