How to Write Lyrics for AI Music: Structure, Tags, and Tips
Lyrics for AI music work best with clear structure and style tags. This guide covers verses, choruses, bridges, and how to describe genre and mood so your AI song sounds exactly how you want.
Writing lyrics for AI music is a bit different from writing for a band or solo recording. The AI needs clear structure and style hints so it can place vocals and instruments correctly. Here's how to get the best results.
Use structure markers Mark sections so the model knows where verses, choruses, and bridges are. Common markers: [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Pre-Chorus], [Outro], [Intro]. Short intros/outros can be tagged [intro-short] and [outro-short]. This helps the AI arrange the song and avoid awkward transitions.
Keep lines consistent in length Similar line lengths within a section often produce more natural-sounding melodies. If one verse has very long lines and the next has very short ones, the AI may struggle to keep the feel consistent.
Add style tags After your lyrics (or in a separate field), add tags that describe the sound: genre (pop, rock, R&B), mood (upbeat, melancholic), tempo (e.g. 120bpm), and any other cues like "female vocals" or "acoustic." The more precise you are, the closer the output will match your vision.
Use the Music Agent AAiMusic's Music Agent can suggest rhymes, structures, and phrasing. Describe what you want ("I need a stronger chorus" or "make it more cinematic") and it will propose concrete edits. Use it to refine lyrics before you hit generate.
Revise and regenerate Your first generation might be close but not perfect. Tweak a line or a tag and try again. Small changes in lyrics or style can make a big difference in the final track.
