“You only need a clear story and 90 seconds to draft a memorable track.”
1. Shape the story before the sound
Start with two short sentences that nail the story arc, mood, and desired length. A clear theme helps Suno keep the arrangement cohesive.
2. Build prompts with contrast
Mix one primary genre with a contrasting texture, then add vocal notes. Example: “warm neo-soul with glitch percussion, intimate female vocal, 90 BPM.” The contrast keeps the generation interesting.
3. Iterate in 30-second loops
Generate short clips, note what works, and update one lever at a time—lyrics, instrumentation, or vocal attitude. Fast loops beat rewriting the entire prompt.
Key takeaway
Keep prompts focused on energy, vocals, and structure. Change one detail per iteration to steer results quickly.
