Suno Prompts & Prompt Guide
Suno prompt patterns that work — genre, vocal, production and tempo, with copy-ready examples. Then turn the finished song into an AI music video.
02HOW A PROMPT IS BUILT
Four decisions, one line.
A Suno prompt is a style brief, not a lyric sheet. The words that matter name sound, not feelings.
- 01
Genre first
Name the genre, and the era if it matters to you. Dark synthwave and synthwave reach into different record crates — the first tag carries the most weight.
- 02
Voice and delivery
Say who is singing and how: female or male, airy or gritty, rap or sung. A vocal tag steers the track more than any instrument list.
- 03
Production and space
Describe the recording, not the mood alone: close or distant, clean or saturated, which instrument carries it, what the drums hit.
- 04
Tempo and shape
Give a tempo and the song's shape — build, drop, half-time ending. Suno follows structure hints better than piles of adjectives.
03COPY-READY PATTERNS
Three prompts to steal from.
Swap the nouns, keep the shape: genre, voice, production, tempo — in that order.
melancholic synthwave, distant female vocal, 1985 drum machine, analog bass, wide reverb, slow tempo, night drive
acoustic folk ballad, warm male vocal, fingerpicked guitar, brushed drums, close recording, 70 bpm
dark trap, minor key piano loop, heavy 808 bass, rapid hi-hats, confident rap vocal, no chorus until 1:30
04AFTER THE SONG
The song is half the work.
A good prompt gets you a song worth watching. Paste the finished track into Dimly and its AI director plans the music video — shots, continuity and pacing across the whole song, with lyrics on screen if you want them.

Questions about writing prompts
What is a Suno prompt?
A short style brief that steers Suno's generation — genre, vocal, production, tempo — written into the style field before you generate. It describes the music, not the words.
How long should a Suno prompt be?
A line or two beats a paragraph. A few decisive tags outperform a sentence of adjectives; too many styles blur into something generic.
Does the prompt shape Dimly's video?
No. The video is directed from the finished song — its structure, energy and lyrics — not from the prompt that produced it.
Can Dimly write Suno prompts for me?
No. Dimly starts where Suno ends: bring the finished track, and the AI director plans the music video around it.
