Make music with AI

“I want to write or produce a song but I can't play or use music software.”

AI can help write lyrics, suggest chords, generate tracks or even drive music software. Back up any project file before letting an AI edit it.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Decide the style, mood, length and what the song is about.
Ask for lyrics and a structure first, then music in short sections.
Give specific notes ('slower chorus', 'less drums') and save versions as you go.

Copy this prompt

Help me make a [genre] song about [topic], mood [ ], about [length]. First give me a structure (verse/chorus) and lyrics. Then suggest chords and tempo. If you're editing a project file, tell me to back it up first. Don't publish or upload anything. Stop after the lyrics and structure for my notes.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
