Suno AI settings guide

Use Custom Mode to separate lyrics and style prompt — in auto mode Suno writes both; in custom mode you control each independently.

Write lyrics in verse/chorus/bridge structure with [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge] tags — Suno follows the structure and doesn't repeat randomly.

Describe the style with genre + instrument + mood + era: 'indie folk, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melancholic, early 2000s' — be specific.

Use Extend to add a new section to an existing song instead of regenerating — preserves the first half and creates a consistent continuation.

Add [Instrumental] where you want no vocals — perfect for intros, outros, or building tension before lyrics come in.

Use Cover Song feature (Pro) to apply Suno's AI to an existing melody — useful for creating royalty-free covers for content creators.

Free tier gives 50 credits/day (5 songs) — generate in the morning and you'll have credits refreshed by afternoon.
