4.1 Lyrics Field
Two modes:
- Custom: You write the lyrics
- Instrumental: Generates music without vocals
Even in Instrumental mode, structure tags still work:
[Intro]
[Main Theme]
[Build]
[Climax]
[Outro]
4.2 Style of Music
This is where your prompt goes. ~200 character limit (V5 relaxed it slightly). Keep it concise.
4.3 Title
Mainly for organizing your library. It doesn’t reliably affect generation. Focus on Style, structure, and post-editing (Crop/Extend/Replace) for musical control.
4.4 V5 New Parameters
Weirdness (0-100%)
Controls how “out there” the result is — not “better,” just more or less conventional.
| Range | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 0-30% | Safe, predictable, mainstream-friendly |
| 40-60% | Balanced — good starting point |
| 70%+ | Experimental, surprising (or messy) |
Practical tips:
- Want a stable, catchy chorus? Keep Weirdness low (35-50%)
- Want a fresh bridge/interlude? Bump it up +10-20%, don’t max it out
Style Influence (Loose → Strong)
Controls how strictly Suno follows your Style prompt.
| Range | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 0-40% | Loose — AI takes more liberties |
| 45-65% | Moderate — balanced creativity |
| 70-90% | Strict — faithful to your prompt, but may sound formulaic |
