Song workflow
Make a song with your own words, step by step
To make a song with AI Song Generator, you write or draft the lyrics, choose how it should sound, and generate it in Custom mode so your words are sung as written. Then you listen, fix the weak parts and export a finished file.
Steps
How it works
Write the hook
One short, repeatable line that carries the idea of the song.
Draft verses and label sections
Write or draft the verses, then mark the [Verse], [Chorus] and [Bridge] lines.
Set the style and length
Describe the sound in Custom mode and choose a length that fits the lyric.
Generate and review
Listen to every version with the checklist and note timestamps for anything that misses.
Fix and export
Replace weak sections, extend the ending, then export the version you keep.
Step one: find the hook
Start with the line people will remember, not with the first verse. A hook is short, singable and says the idea of the song in a few words, like "Not tonight, Tuesday" or "The kettle knows I am home". Write five candidates, say each one out loud, and keep the one that is easiest to repeat.
Step two: build verses around it
Verses tell the story or set the scene, and the chorus keeps coming back to the hook. Two verses with a chorus after each, then a final chorus, is a shape that works for most songs. Put each part label on its own line, such as [Verse], [Chorus] or [Bridge], so the arrangement follows your plan.
Stuck on a verse? The AI lyrics generator drafts options from a brief of up to 200 characters. Keep the lines that sound like you and rewrite the rest in your own words.
Step three: choose the sound
The style line decides the genre, tempo feel, instruments and voice. Keep it to one or two sentences. Set the length in Custom mode, between 10 seconds and 6 minutes, so a song with three verses is not squeezed into a minute.
A male or female vocal preference is available in Custom mode. It improves the odds without guaranteeing the result, so listen to every returned version before you pick one.
Step four: listen with a checklist
Note the timestamp of each problem as you listen. Those timestamps become the sections you fix next.
- Can you understand every word of the hook?
- Does the chorus feel bigger than the verses?
- Are any lines rushed, repeated or skipped?
- Does the ending land, or does the song stop abruptly?
Step five: fix the parts that miss
Replace section regenerates a stretch you select, from 10 seconds up to half of the song, with new lyrics for that part. Extend adds an outro or one more chorus. Each fix is saved as a new version, so you can compare and go back.
When the song is done, export WAV, split the vocal from the instrumental for a karaoke version, or render a visualizer video to share it.
Making a song for someone
A personal song works when it is specific. Use names, places and small moments the person will recognize, and keep the hook simple enough for them to sing along. Before playing it at an event or posting it, read every line once more and ask whether they would be happy to hear it in front of other people.
