Style Prompts by Genre

5 prompts

Indie folk acoustic

1/21

Warm indie folk, gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft male vocals, light brushed drums, subtle strings, intimate and nostalgic, around 90 BPM.

A clean Style-box prompt for a cozy acoustic track. It names genre, instrumentation, vocal type, mood, and tempo without overloading.

💡

Pro tip: Keep instruments to two or three. Listing more than three or four can confuse Suno and produce a muddy, inconsistent mix.

Synthwave retro

2/21

80s synthwave, pulsing analog synth bass, gated reverb drums, shimmering arpeggios, dreamy female vocals, nostalgic and cinematic, driving 110 BPM.

A retro electronic style prompt with the genre-defining sounds front-loaded so Suno locks the era immediately.

💡

Pro tip: Put your most important style words in the first few words of the prompt. Suno weights the opening of the Style field most heavily.

Lo-fi hip hop

3/21

Chill lo-fi hip hop, dusty vinyl crackle, mellow jazzy electric piano chords, laid-back boom-bap drums, warm sub bass, relaxed and study-friendly, instrumental, 75 BPM.

A relaxed lo-fi style for focus or background music. The vinyl crackle and jazzy keys define the vibe.

💡

Pro tip: Add "instrumental" directly in the Style field when you want no vocals. It is more reliable than leaving the lyrics box empty alone.

Modern pop anthem

4/21

Upbeat modern pop, bright synth plucks, punchy four-on-the-floor drums, big layered chorus harmonies, confident female lead vocal, catchy and radio-ready, energetic 124 BPM.

A polished mainstream pop style prompt aimed at a big, hooky chorus.

💡

Pro tip: Words like "radio-ready" and "big layered chorus harmonies" push Suno toward a fuller, more produced mix on the hook.

Acoustic country road song

5/21

Heartfelt modern country, twangy acoustic and slide guitar, warm pedal steel, steady kick and snare, gritty soulful male vocal, storytelling and hopeful, 100 BPM.

A storytelling country style with the signature slide and pedal steel called out explicitly.

💡

Pro tip: Name vocal texture ("gritty soulful") not just gender. Suno parses emotion and timbre cues to shape the singer's character.

Song Structures & Lyric Templates

4 prompts

Verse-chorus pop template

6/21

[Intro] [Verse 1] Morning light across an empty room Counting all the things I'll do for you [Pre-Chorus] And I can feel it building up inside [Chorus] We're running to the open sky Nothing left to hide behind This is where we come alive [Verse 2] Every road we took has led us here [Chorus] We're running to the open sky Nothing left to hide behind This is where we come alive [Bridge] If the whole world fades away I'll still know the words to say [Outro] (fade out)

A complete, reusable pop structure showing how section tags shape arrangement. Swap the lyrics while keeping the skeleton.

💡

Pro tip: Add a [Pre-Chorus] before the hook. It cues Suno to build tension and makes the chorus land with more lift.

Storytelling ballad structure

7/21

[Intro: soft piano] [Verse 1] We were younger then, the streets were ours [Verse 2] Now the city sleeps beneath the stars [Chorus] Hold on to me, we'll find our way back home Wherever we go, we're never alone [Verse 3] Years have passed but I still hear your voice [Chorus] Hold on to me, we'll find our way back home Wherever we go, we're never alone [Bridge: strings swell] And if the morning takes the night away [Outro] (gentle piano fade)

A slow-build ballad template with inline tags that hint at instrumentation per section.

💡

Pro tip: You can put light instrument hints inside a section tag, like [Bridge: strings swell]. Suno reads these to shape that section's arrangement.

Hook-first earworm template

8/21

[Chorus] Turn it up, don't let it stop We're on top, on top, on top [Verse 1] Lights down low and the night is young [Pre-Chorus] Feel the bass, here it comes [Chorus] Turn it up, don't let it stop We're on top, on top, on top [Verse 2] Every beat is calling out your name [Chorus] Turn it up, don't let it stop We're on top, on top, on top [Outro] (repeat and fade)

An opens-on-the-hook structure for dance and pop tracks where the chorus is the identity of the song.

💡

Pro tip: Starting with the [Chorus] makes the hook the first thing listeners hear. Great for short-form clips where you need to grab attention in the first seconds.

Rap verse and hook template

9/21

[Intro] [Verse 1] Started from a notebook, now the whole crew listening Every line precise, watch the wordplay glistening [Hook] We don't stop, we don't slow, keep the rhythm rolling Every single day we grind, momentum never closing [Verse 2] From the bottom rung we climbed, never asked permission [Hook] We don't stop, we don't slow, keep the rhythm rolling Every single day we grind, momentum never closing [Outro] (beat fades)

A rap structure using a [Hook] tag in place of a sung chorus, with dense internal-rhyme verses.

💡

Pro tip: Use [Hook] for rap or hip hop instead of [Chorus]. It nudges Suno toward a chant or rhythmic vocal rather than a melodic sung line.

Moods & Vibes

4 prompts

Cozy rainy-day calm

10/21

Soft ambient pop, mellow electric piano, warm pad textures, brushed drums, breathy soothing vocals, calm and cozy, gentle and slow, 70 BPM.

A low-energy comfort track ideal for relaxing or reflective content.

💡

Pro tip: Slow tempos (under 80 BPM) plus "breathy" or "soft" vocal cues reliably produce a calm, low-intensity feel in Suno.

Triumphant epic build

11/21

Cinematic epic, soaring orchestral strings, pounding taiko drums, heroic brass, choir swells, powerful and triumphant, builds to a huge climax, 120 BPM.

A dramatic, escalating instrumental for trailers, montages, or hype moments.

💡

Pro tip: Describe the energy arc ("builds to a huge climax"). Suno can shape dynamics over the track, not just hold one intensity the whole time.

Late-night melancholy

12/21

Moody alt R&B, sparse muted guitar, deep sub bass, slow trap-influenced hi-hats, intimate auto-tuned male vocals, melancholic and reflective, dark and spacious, 85 BPM.

An introspective after-hours mood blending R&B and trap textures.

💡

Pro tip: Pair contrasting words like "intimate" and "spacious." The tension between closeness and space gives the mix an emotional, modern feel.

Sunny feel-good morning

13/21

Bright acoustic pop, cheerful strummed ukulele, hand claps, light whistling melody, warm group vocals, happy and carefree, bouncy and uplifting, 115 BPM.

An upbeat, optimistic track that works for ads, vlogs, and feel-good intros.

💡

Pro tip: Hand claps, whistling, and group vocals are quick shorthand cues that reliably read as "feel-good" in Suno's output.

Use-Case Songs

4 prompts

Short brand jingle

14/21

Style: catchy upbeat pop jingle, bright synth, claps, energetic group vocals, friendly and memorable, 120 BPM, around 15 seconds. [Hook] Fresh ideas, every day We make it simple, find your way

A short, memorable jingle with a style line and a tiny hook. Generic and brand-safe so you can drop in your own name.

💡

Pro tip: For jingles, keep it to a single short hook and note a target length in the style line. Long structures get cut off in a few-second clip.

Podcast intro theme

15/21

Style: energetic modern podcast intro, punchy electronic beat, bright rising synth, confident and welcoming, instrumental with a short spoken-feel build, 110 BPM, around 20 seconds. [Intro] (driving beat builds) [Outro] (quick stinger ending)

A short instrumental theme designed to open episodes, with a clear build and a clean ending stinger.

💡

Pro tip: Ask for a "stinger ending" so the theme resolves cleanly instead of fading awkwardly when you cut to talking.

Birthday celebration song

16/21

Style: joyful upbeat pop celebration song, bright piano, party drums, cheerful group vocals, festive and warm, 118 BPM. [Verse] Today's the day we've all been waiting for Friends all gathered, who could ask for more [Chorus] Celebrate, the day is yours Make a wish and out it pours Here's to you and all you'll be

An original, brand-safe celebration song you can personalize for an event or a name.

💡

Pro tip: Keep the lyrics generic and original rather than referencing copyrighted songs. This keeps the output clean and avoids derivative results.

Workout hype track

17/21

Style: high-energy electronic workout, aggressive driving synth bass, hard-hitting four-on-the-floor drums, motivational chant vocals, intense and relentless, 128 BPM. [Intro] (beat drops hard) [Chorus] Push it harder, don't you stop Break the limit, hit the top [Drop] (energy peak, heavy bass)

A driving workout track with a chant chorus and an explicit energy [Drop] section.

💡

Pro tip: A [Drop] tag in electronic styles cues Suno to deliver a high-energy instrumental peak. Place it after the chorus for maximum impact.

Instrumental & Background Music

4 prompts

Ambient focus background

18/21

Calm ambient instrumental, soft evolving synth pads, gentle felt piano, subtle field-recording textures, no drums, peaceful and minimal, slow and spacious, 60 BPM, instrumental.

A non-distracting ambient bed for focus, study, or quiet video backgrounds.

💡

Pro tip: Say "no drums" explicitly for true background music. Removing percussion keeps the track from pulling focus during voiceovers or work.

Corporate explainer underscore

19/21

Clean corporate background, light plucked synth, soft piano, steady gentle beat, warm pads, optimistic and professional, unobtrusive, 100 BPM, instrumental.

A neutral, upbeat underscore for explainer videos, demos, and presentations.

💡

Pro tip: Words like "unobtrusive" and "professional" steer Suno toward a mix that sits politely under narration instead of dominating it.

Acoustic guitar instrumental

20/21

Warm acoustic guitar instrumental, intricate fingerpicking, soft natural room tone, light subtle strings, intimate and reflective, no vocals, gentle, 90 BPM. [Guitar Solo]

A solo acoustic instrumental featuring a dedicated guitar-led section via a meta-tag.

💡

Pro tip: Drop a [Guitar Solo] tag in the lyrics box even for instrumentals. Suno treats it as a structural cue and gives that section a featured lead.

Cinematic suspense bed

21/21

Dark cinematic instrumental, low pulsing strings, sparse piano notes, deep sub-bass drone, occasional tension hits, suspenseful and tense, slow build, no melody-heavy lead, 80 BPM, instrumental.

A tense underscore for thrillers, reveals, or dramatic story beats.

💡

Pro tip: Ask for "occasional tension hits" and a "slow build" so the bed has movement and stingers you can sync to cuts, rather than a flat loop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the Style box for a short description that names the genre, mood, key instruments, tempo, and vocal type, keeping it to one or two genre tags and two or three instruments. Then use the Lyrics box for your words, formatted with section tags like [Verse], [Chorus], and [Bridge] so Suno knows how to arrange the song.

Meta-tags are keywords in square brackets that direct the song. Structure tags like [Intro], [Verse], [Pre-Chorus], [Chorus], [Bridge], and [Outro] define sections, while descriptive tags like [upbeat], [guitar solo], or [drop] shape a moment. They work best in the lyrics box at section changes and in the first 20 to 30 words.

Add the word "instrumental" directly in the Style field and avoid putting vocal lyrics in the lyrics box. You can still include structural meta-tags like [Intro], [Guitar Solo], or [Drop] to shape the arrangement, and adding "no vocals" or "no drums" gives you more control over the final sound.

Suno generates full-length songs, and you can extend or continue a track to build longer arrangements. For short use-cases like jingles or intros, note a target length in your style description and keep the structure to a single short hook so it doesn't get cut off.

Put your main genre, mood, instrumentation, and tempo in the Style box, since that field sets the overall sound world. Use the Lyrics box mainly for the words and structural section tags. You can add light hints like [Tempo: 120 BPM] in the style area, but the cleanest results come from a clear Style field plus well-tagged lyrics.
