Step 1: Create Your Song with Suno AI
To get started, choose a music niche (e.g., LoFi, Inspirational, Gospel, Meditation, Reggae, EDM). It helps your audience find and follow your style.
There are three beginner-friendly methods to generate songs:
Method 1: Use ChatGPT + Suno AI for Custom Songs or Jingles
Ask ChatGPT to write lyrics:"Write a catchy, 2-minute pop anthem about 'Just Do It' in the style of Beyoncé and Imagine Dragons."
Use this for a brand anthem (Nike example) or school song (e.g., Kingston College).
Paste your lyrics and click Create. Two tracks will be generated.
Edit or regenerate until you get one you like.
Download as WAVÂ format for distribution.
Method 2: Use Suno’s Simple Generator
Go to Suno AI > Create > Simple.
Enter a prompt (e.g., "Create a reggae song about peace and unity").
Listen to both versions, download your favorite.
Method 3: Songwriter Tool (Full AI Generated)
Ask ChatGPT:"Give me a 200-character prompt to create an emotional Mother's Day song using Suno."
Paste the result into Suno’s Songwriter Tool.
Click Write Lyrics, choose a version, and then click Create.
