Genre labels make AI music tools reach for the same chord loops, drum pockets and vocal phrasing every time. This template describes texture, how each part is played, and how the song changes section by section, so your track sounds like you and not like everyone else's. Fill in the highlighted brackets, paste it into your AI music tool's style box, and generate.
The template
Keep the finished prompt under 1000 characters. Highlighted parts are yours to fill in.
Why it works
- Genre labels pull the same chord loops, drum pockets and vocal phrasing every time, so describe texture and how the parts are played instead.
- Section-by-section changes stop it from looping one safe 8 bars.
- Saying what the voice is NOT shuts off the default pop voice.
- The refusals at the end block its country and four-chord habits.
- Never name artists or songs, and never copy reference lyrics.
Listen for
- The intro sounds different from the chorus.
- The voice matches the asked age and grain, with no auto-tune shimmer.
- The breakdown really strips down and the last chorus adds something new.
Tips
- If your tool has a creativity or weirdness slider, try about 30 to 45 percent for fresh results.
- Change one texture word on every re-roll.
Build yours
Fill in what you know. Blank fields keep the bracket so you can see what's missing. Nothing here is saved.
