Best prompts for Suno for songwriting using personal experiences

Create a raw, intimate acoustic breakup song (3:10) in 4/4 at 72 BPM. Use fingerpicked nylon/guitar, light brushes on snare, and warm upright bass. Voice: close-miked, breathy, emotive. Structure: V1 / Pre / Chorus / V2 / Pre / Chorus / Bridge / Final chorus. Lyrics: first-person, present-tense, built around the memory: "you left the keys on the kitchen counter and the kettle never cooled." Include two specific sensory images (smell of coffee, cold tile), one short repeating chorus line as the hook, and a rhyming couplet at the end of each verse. Keep verses 6–8 lines, chorus 3 lines. Produce full vocal takes plus guitar stem and a stripped backing stem.

Write and produce an upbeat pop single (3:20) at 105 BPM with bright synths, punchy drums, and a palm-muted guitar for rhythm. Vocal style: confident, slightly breathy female lead. Structure: Intro / V1 / Pre / Chorus / V2 / Pre / Chorus / Bridge / Final Chorus (with ad-libs). Lyrics should tell the story of the narrator quitting a corporate job on a Tuesday at 3:15 pm and buying a pastry cart the next day. Include the line "I traded spreadsheets for sugar and sun" as the chorus hook. Keep choruses 4 lines, all rhymed AABB. Provide a full stereo mix and stems for vocals, synth, drums.

Create a story-driven folk ballad (4:00) at 78 BPM with acoustic guitar, harmonica, and subtle cello. Vocal style: warm, narrative male or female voice. Structure: V1 / Chorus (refrain) / V2 / Chorus / V3 / Bridge / Chorus. Lyrics: third-person about a grandparent named "Evelyn" who tied red yarn around a fishing rod and hummed to mend shoes. Include two concrete props (red yarn, tin lunchbox) and one defining moment where Evelyn taught the narrator to mend a net at dusk. Refrain should be a simple 6-word line repeated. Provide lead vocal and harmony stems plus acoustic instrument stems.

Produce a slow R&B song (3:30) at 68 BPM. Use Rhodes, warm pads, sub bass, brushed snare, and live electric guitar fills. Vocal: intimate R&B tenor or alto with room reverb. Structure: Intro / V1 / Pre / Chorus / V2 / Pre / Chorus / Bridge (melisma) / Chorus / Outro. Narrative: a late-night confession delivered at 2 a.m. on a porch about hiding a mistake (e.g., broken heirloom). Include the line "I held the piece but never told you why" in the bridge and instruct backing vocals to echo the last word of chorus lines. Add specific melodic ad-lib suggestions (e.g., 4-bar ad lib after second chorus). Provide stems and a dry vocal take.

Create a lo-fi indie bedroom pop song (2:50) at 86 BPM with gentle drum machine, twinkly electric piano, vinyl crackle, and taped vocal delay. Vocal: airy, slightly autotuned for effect. Structure: V1 / Pre / Chorus / V2 / Chorus / Bridge / Final chorus. Convert these three journal sentences into three verse lines each (keep tense consistent): 1) "August 12: spilled coffee on the train and laughed with a stranger" 2) "October 3: I typed a goodbye and deleted it" 3) "January 1: I made a promise to call my sister back." Use the first as V1 imagery, second as V2 emotional reveal, third as V3/bridge resolution. Add a repeating two-bar chorus hook that repeats the phrase "small brave things." Provide lead vocal and instrument stems.

Compose a pop-rock anthem (4:15) at 98 BPM. Start with piano and soft pads, add driving drums and electric guitar for choruses. Vocal: strong, anthemic lead. Structure: Soft Intro / V1 / Pre / Chorus (large) / V2 / Pre / Chorus / Bridge (key change or modulation up a half-step) / Final Chorus x2. Lyrics: first-person about recovery milestones: first sober day, missed phone call to a parent, learning to cook again. Include explicit milestone lines: "Day 7 I read my letters out loud" and "I learned to make rice without burning it." Bridge should be victorious and include a chantable 4-word hook. Deliver full mix and separated stems.
