In short: This page contains 50 copy-paste ready prompts, organized into 6 categories with a description and pro tip for each. The first 5 prompts are free instantly, no signup needed. Hand-curated and tested by the AI Academy team.
Style Prompts by Genre
15 promptsModern Pop Hit
1/50✨ What it does
Produces a bright, radio-ready pop track with a big vocal hook and dance-floor drums.
Bright modern pop, punchy four-on-the-floor drums, sidechained synth pads, catchy vocal hook, layered female vocals, bright plucks, radio-ready, around 118 BPM.
Pro tip: Lead the Style box with the genre and BPM. Suno weights the first words most, so "bright modern pop, 118 BPM" sets the whole feel before the details.
Anthemic Arena Rock
2/50✨ What it does
Creates a stadium-sized rock song with distorted guitars and a shout-along chorus.
Anthemic arena rock, driving distorted electric guitars, live drums, gritty male lead vocals, big backing harmonies on the chorus, energetic and defiant, around 130 BPM.
Pro tip: Ask for "backing harmonies on the chorus" by name. Suno often keeps verses lean and saves the layered vocals for the hook, which makes the chorus hit harder.
Intimate Indie Folk
3/50✨ What it does
Delivers a warm, nostalgic folk song built around fingerpicked guitar and soft vocals.
Warm indie folk, gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft male vocals, light brushed drums, subtle strings, intimate and nostalgic, around 90 BPM.
Pro tip: Words like "intimate" and "brushed drums" keep the mix quiet. If it comes back too loud, add "sparse arrangement" to hold the energy down.
Dark Trap Banger
4/50✨ What it does
Generates a moody trap beat with heavy 808s and confident rapped vocals.
Modern trap, hard 808 bass, crisp hi-hat rolls, dark minor piano, confident rapped male vocals, moody and cinematic, around 140 BPM.
Pro tip: Trap sits at 140 BPM but with a half-time feel. Name the "808 bass" and "hi-hat rolls" explicitly, they are the two sounds that define the genre for Suno.
Festival Progressive House
5/50✨ What it does
Builds a euphoric festival house track with a filtered build and a big drop.
Festival progressive house, euphoric supersaw lead, four-on-the-floor kick, rolling bassline, filtered build into a big drop, bright and uplifting, around 128 BPM.
Pro tip: Mention "build into a drop" in the style, then reinforce it in the lyrics with [Build] and [Drop] tags so Suno actually structures the energy curve.
Chill Lo-fi Beat
6/50✨ What it does
Produces a relaxed instrumental lo-fi beat with vinyl crackle and mellow keys.
Chill lo-fi hip-hop, dusty vinyl crackle, mellow Rhodes piano, laid-back boom-bap drums, warm sub bass, relaxed and hazy, no vocals, around 82 BPM.
Pro tip: Add "no vocals" or the [Instrumental] tag so Suno does not sneak in a vocal line. Lo-fi is meant to sit in the background.
Late-Night Jazz
7/50✨ What it does
Creates a smooth, intimate jazz piece with brushed drums and a muted trumpet solo.
Smooth late-night jazz, brushed drums, upright walking bass, warm piano comping, soft muted trumpet solo, intimate and sophisticated, around 100 BPM.
Pro tip: Name the specific instruments (brushed drums, upright bass, muted trumpet). Generic "jazz" can drift pop, but the instrument list anchors it to the real sound.
Slow Electric Blues
8/50✨ What it does
Delivers a raw, emotional blues track with bending lead guitar and gravelly vocals.
Slow electric blues, expressive bending lead guitar, warm Hammond organ, shuffling drums, soulful gravelly male vocals, raw and emotional, around 70 BPM.
Pro tip: The word "gravelly" shapes the voice more than "blues" does. Voice adjectives such as gravelly, breathy, or smooth steer the vocal timbre reliably.
Modern Country
9/50✨ What it does
Generates a wholesome modern country song with pedal steel and storytelling vocals.
Modern country, bright acoustic guitar, pedal steel, warm bass, tight snare, heartfelt storytelling male vocals, wholesome and driving, around 108 BPM.
Pro tip: Pedal steel is the sound that reads as country instantly. Always name it, otherwise Suno may land on generic acoustic pop.
Heavy Modern Metal
10/50✨ What it does
Creates a heavy metal track with screamed verses and a clean, melodic chorus.
Heavy modern metal, downtuned palm-muted guitars, double-kick drums, aggressive screamed vocals with clean chorus, dark and powerful, around 160 BPM.
Pro tip: Ask for "screamed vocals with clean chorus" to get contrast. Suno handles the dynamic shift well when you spell out where each vocal style goes.
Silky R&B Slow Jam
11/50✨ What it does
Produces a slow, sensual R&B jam with breathy vocals and lush harmonies.
Silky contemporary R&B, warm electric piano, smooth bass, soft finger-snap percussion, breathy female vocals with rich harmonies, sensual and slow, around 72 BPM.
Pro tip: "Breathy" plus "rich harmonies" gives the vocal that layered R&B feel. Keep the BPM low (70 to 75) so the groove stays in the pocket.
Retro Synthwave
12/50✨ What it does
Delivers a nostalgic 80s synthwave track with analog arps and gated reverb drums.
Retro 80s synthwave, pulsing analog arpeggios, gated reverb drums, neon synth leads, dreamy male vocals, nostalgic and cinematic, around 100 BPM.
Pro tip: "Gated reverb drums" is the signature 80s snare sound. Naming it is what separates true synthwave from generic electronic.
Sunny Afrobeats
13/50✨ What it does
Creates a joyful, danceable afrobeats track built on a log-drum groove.
Sunny afrobeats, syncopated log-drum groove, bright marimba, warm bass, smooth melodic male vocals, danceable and joyful, around 105 BPM.
Pro tip: The "log-drum groove" is the rhythmic core of modern afrobeats. Call it out by name so Suno nails the bounce instead of a flat 4/4.
Cinematic Orchestra
14/50✨ What it does
Produces an epic, emotional orchestral piece with soaring strings and brass.
Sweeping cinematic orchestra, soaring strings, noble brass, timpani swells, delicate woodwinds, emotional and epic, no vocals, around 90 BPM.
Pro tip: Add "no vocals" so it stays instrumental. Use dynamic words like "swells" and "soaring" to get the rise and fall a good score needs.
Club Reggaeton
15/50✨ What it does
Generates an energetic reggaeton club track built on the dembow rhythm.
Club reggaeton, dembow rhythm, deep punchy bass, bright synth stabs, catchy melodic vocals, hot and energetic, around 95 BPM.
Pro tip: "Dembow rhythm" is the beat that defines reggaeton. It is the single most important phrase to include, more than the word "reggaeton" itself.

Song Structures & Lyric Templates
6 promptsClassic Pop Song Structure
16/50✨ What it does
A full verse, pre-chorus, chorus pop skeleton you drop your own lyrics into.
[Intro] [Verse 1] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Chorus] [Outro]
Pro tip: Paste this into the Lyrics box and write under each tag. The pre-chorus lifts energy into the hook, which is what makes pop choruses feel earned.
Short Radio Edit Structure
17/50✨ What it does
A tight, streaming-friendly structure with no wasted sections.
[Intro] [Verse 1] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Chorus] [Outro]
Pro tip: Keep verses to four lines each. Shorter sections reach the chorus faster, which matters for retention in the first 30 seconds on streaming.
Ballad That Builds
18/50✨ What it does
A slow-burn ballad that starts whispered and climbs to a belted, crescendo finale.
[Intro] [Soft] [Verse 1] [Whispered] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus] [Powerful] [Bridge] [Belted] [Chorus] [Crescendo] [Outro] [Fade Out]
Pro tip: The vocal tags do the emotional lifting here. Going from [Whispered] to [Belted] tells Suno to grow the performance instead of staying flat.
Rap Song Structure
19/50✨ What it does
A hook-first rap structure with three verses and a repeating chorus hook.
[Intro] [Hook] [Verse 1] [Hook] [Verse 2] [Hook] [Bridge] [Verse 3] [Outro]
Pro tip: Lead with the [Hook] so the catchy part lands early. Rap tracks live or die on the hook, so give it the most repetitions.
EDM Build and Drop Structure
20/50✨ What it does
A dance-track structure that stacks tension into two big drops.
[Intro] [Verse] [Build] [Drop] [Breakdown] [Verse] [Build] [Drop] [Outro]
Pro tip: The [Build] before each [Drop] is essential. Without it Suno has nothing to release, and the drop lands flat instead of exploding.
Storytelling Folk Structure
21/50✨ What it does
A verse-heavy folk structure built for telling a story across several verses.
[Intro] [Verse 1] [Verse 2] [Refrain] [Verse 3] [Verse 4] [Refrain] [Bridge] [Refrain] [Outro]
Pro tip: Folk leans on verses over choruses. Use a short [Refrain] instead of a big chorus so the lyrics and story stay front and center.

Moods & Vibes
7 promptsEuphoric Anthem
30/50✨ What it does
Creates a triumphant, hands-in-the-air anthem built for peak-moment energy.
Euphoric uplifting anthem, big bright synths, four-on-the-floor drums, soaring female vocals, hands-in-the-air chorus, joyful and triumphant, around 126 BPM.
Pro tip: Stack positive descriptors (euphoric, uplifting, triumphant, joyful). Mood adjectives compound, and Suno reads three or four of them as a strong instruction.
Melancholic Reflection
31/50✨ What it does
Produces a sad, reflective piece with sparse piano and lots of space.
Melancholic and reflective, sparse piano, soft pads, gentle male vocals, distant reverb, sad and cinematic, around 68 BPM.
Pro tip: Slow the BPM into the 60s and ask for "sparse" and "space". Emptiness in the arrangement is what makes a song feel genuinely melancholic.
Cinematic Tension
32/50✨ What it does
Builds a tense, suspenseful cinematic cue that feels like a film score.
Cinematic and tense, low pulsing strings, deep percussion hits, rising brass, ticking hi-hats, dramatic and suspenseful, no vocals, around 100 BPM.
Pro tip: "Rising brass" and "pulsing strings" create the sense of building dread. Add "no vocals" to keep it a pure score for video or trailers.
Aggressive and Hard
33/50✨ What it does
Generates a dark, relentless track with distorted bass and snarling vocals.
Aggressive and hard-hitting, distorted bass, pounding drums, snarling male vocals, industrial textures, dark and relentless, around 150 BPM.
Pro tip: Words like "relentless", "snarling", and "industrial" push aggression harder than volume alone. Pair them with a fast BPM for maximum drive.
Dreamy and Ethereal
34/50✨ What it does
Creates a floating, ethereal dream-pop soundscape with airy vocals.
Dreamy and ethereal, washed reverb guitars, airy synth pads, soft breathy vocals, shimmering textures, floating and weightless, around 84 BPM.
Pro tip: Reverb-heavy words (washed, airy, shimmering) create the dreamy haze. Keep vocals "breathy" so they blend into the texture instead of cutting through.
Nostalgic and Warm
35/50✨ What it does
Delivers a warm, bittersweet track that feels like a fond memory.
Nostalgic and warm, vintage tape saturation, mellow electric piano, soft brushed drums, tender male vocals, bittersweet and comforting, around 92 BPM.
Pro tip: "Tape saturation" and "vintage" add the analog warmth that reads as nostalgia. It is the sonic version of an old photograph.
Uplifting and Hopeful
36/50✨ What it does
Produces a hopeful, encouraging song that builds to an optimistic chorus.
Uplifting and hopeful, bright acoustic guitar, warm strings, gentle claps, encouraging male vocals, building to a big optimistic chorus, around 112 BPM.
Pro tip: Ask it to "build to a big chorus". Uplifting songs need a rise, so give Suno a target to grow toward rather than staying at one level.
Use-Case Songs
7 promptsBrand Jingle
37/50✨ What it does
Creates a short, catchy jingle that plants your brand name in memory.
Style: catchy upbeat pop jingle, bright ukulele, hand claps, cheerful group vocals, memorable short hook, around 120 BPM. Lyrics: [Hook] (your brand name and tagline, repeated)
Pro tip: Repeat the brand name at least twice in the hook. Jingles work through repetition, so the name should be the most-sung word in the clip.
Personalized Birthday Song
38/50✨ What it does
Generates a custom, upbeat birthday song using someone's name and details.
Style: fun feel-good pop, bright piano, claps, cheerful mixed vocals, celebratory, around 118 BPM. Lyrics: [Verse] (the name and a fun detail about them) [Chorus] Happy birthday (name)
Pro tip: Drop one specific detail about the person into the verse. A single real detail turns a generic jingle into a gift that feels personal.
Wedding First-Dance Song
39/50✨ What it does
Produces a tender first-dance ballad, optionally as a male and female duet.
Style: romantic acoustic ballad, fingerpicked guitar, soft strings, tender duet male and female vocals, heartfelt and intimate, around 74 BPM. Lyrics: [Verse] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Chorus] [Fade Out]
Pro tip: Ask for a "duet" if you want both voices. Keep the BPM around 70 to 76 so it is slow enough to actually dance to.
Podcast Intro Theme
40/50✨ What it does
Creates a short, professional instrumental intro sting for a podcast or show.
Style: confident modern intro, punchy drums, bright synth stab, energetic and professional, short, no vocals, around 110 BPM. Lyrics: [Intro] [Instrumental]
Pro tip: Keep it instrumental and short. An intro theme should set a mood in a few seconds and then get out of the way of the host.
30-Second Ad Spot
41/50✨ What it does
Generates a clean, upbeat 30-second music bed for a commercial spot.
Style: upbeat commercial pop, bright synths, driving beat, optimistic and clean, 30 seconds, around 122 BPM. Lyrics: [Intro] [Hook] (product benefit in one line) [Outro]
Pro tip: State "30 seconds" in the style and keep lyrics to a single benefit line. Ad music should support the message, not compete with the voiceover.
Gentle Lullaby
42/50✨ What it does
Produces a calm, sleepy lullaby with music box and soft humming.
Style: soft soothing lullaby, gentle music box, warm pads, tender humming vocals, calm and sleepy, around 60 BPM. Lyrics: [Verse] [Soft] [Chorus] [Soft] [Outro] [Fade Out]
Pro tip: Keep the BPM near 60 and tag every section [Soft]. A lullaby should never surprise, so hold the dynamics flat and low the whole way through.
Stadium Sports Anthem
43/50✨ What it does
Creates a hype, chant-along stadium anthem built for a crowd.
Style: high-energy stadium anthem, stomping drums, big brass stabs, chant-along crowd vocals, powerful and hype, around 140 BPM. Lyrics: [Intro] [Build] [Chorus] (a short chant, four words max) [Drop]
Pro tip: Keep the chant to four words or fewer so a crowd can shout it. Simple, repeatable phrases are what turn a song into a stadium chant.

Instrumental & Background Music
7 promptsLo-fi Study Beats
44/50✨ What it does
Produces a calm, focus-friendly lo-fi beat with no vocals to distract you.
Chill lo-fi study beat, warm Rhodes, soft boom-bap drums, vinyl crackle, mellow bass, calm and focused, no vocals, around 80 BPM.
Pro tip: Add "no vocals" and keep it under 85 BPM. Study music should stay in the background, so avoid anything that grabs attention.
Ambient Focus Drone
45/50✨ What it does
Creates a spacious, beatless ambient bed for deep focus or reading.
Soft ambient focus music, warm evolving synth pads, subtle textures, no drums, no vocals, calm and spacious, around 60 BPM.
Pro tip: Use "no drums" to remove any rhythmic pulse. For pure concentration music, a steady beat can be more distracting than helpful.
Cinematic Trailer Cue
46/50✨ What it does
Generates an epic trailer cue that builds tension into a massive impact.
Epic cinematic trailer, huge braams, pounding taiko drums, soaring strings, rising tension into a massive hit, no vocals, around 90 BPM. Lyrics: [Intro] [Build] [Drop]
Pro tip: Use [Build] then [Drop] for the classic trailer rise and hit. Braams and taiko drums are the two sounds every big trailer relies on.
Corporate Background Music
47/50✨ What it does
Produces neutral, upbeat background music for explainer videos and slides.
Clean corporate background music, light plucky synth, soft piano, gentle beat, positive and unobtrusive, no vocals, around 110 BPM.
Pro tip: Aim for "unobtrusive". Corporate video music succeeds by being forgettable, so avoid strong melodies that pull focus from the narration.
Meditation Soundscape
48/50✨ What it does
Creates a deeply calm meditation soundscape with singing bowls and drones.
Peaceful meditation music, soft singing bowls, warm drones, distant nature textures, no drums, no vocals, deeply calm, around 50 BPM.
Pro tip: Keep the tempo very slow, near 50 BPM, and drop all percussion. Meditation audio should feel timeless, so avoid any clear rhythm or beat.
Jazz Cafe Ambience
49/50✨ What it does
Delivers cozy, unhurried jazz cafe background music with no vocals.
Relaxed jazz cafe music, brushed drums, upright bass, soft piano, warm muted trumpet, cozy and unhurried, no vocals, around 96 BPM.
Pro tip: Ask for "brushed drums" and "unhurried". Cafe jazz should swing gently without ever demanding attention, so keep the energy low and warm.
Boss-Battle Game Music
50/50✨ What it does
Generates high-intensity, looping boss-battle music for a video game.
Intense boss-battle game music, fast orchestral strings, heavy electric guitars, driving double-kick drums, choir stabs, epic and relentless, no vocals, around 170 BPM.
Pro tip: Push the BPM to 160 or higher and layer orchestra with distorted guitars. Game combat music needs relentless energy, so leave no quiet gaps.
