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).
Head to Suno AI, select Create > Custom.
Paste your lyrics and click Create. Two tracks will be generated.
Edit or regenerate until you get one you like.
Download as WAV 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.
