Prompt Writing Tips

Master the art of writing effective prompts for Lyria 3

✅ Do This

  • Be specific about genre, mood, and tempo: Instead of "a song," try "an upbeat pop song with female vocals, energetic tempo"
  • Mention specific instruments: Name the instruments you want (piano, guitar, drums, synths) for better control
  • Describe the vocal style: Specify male/female, solo/duet, or instrumental for clearer results
  • Include a theme or subject: Add what the song should be about (love, adventure, nature) for more focused lyrics
  • Use descriptive words for atmosphere: Words like "peaceful," "energetic," "mysterious," "melancholic" help guide the mood
  • Start with proven templates: Use our prompt library as starting points and customize them
  • Iterate and refine: Try small variations of your prompt to find what works best

❌ Don't Do This

  • Don't name specific artists: Lyria 3 doesn't mimic artists. Describe the style instead (e.g., "90s-style pop" not "like Taylor Swift")
  • Avoid being too vague or abstract: Prompts like "good music" or "nice song" give unpredictable results
  • Don't request copyrighted material directly: Avoid asking for existing songs by name or specific copyrighted lyrics
  • Avoid overly complex descriptions: Focus on 3-5 key elements rather than writing a paragraph
  • Don't expect exact reproductions: Lyria 3 creates original music inspired by your description, not copies
  • Don't ignore the 30-second limit: Design prompts that work well within short duration
  • Don't use too many conflicting elements: "Sad and happy upbeat" sends mixed signals
