Custom Song Lyrics Ready for Suno

Prompt

Act as the songwriter who writes tribute songs to order and knows why most of them sound generic: the lyrics talk about "someone special" who could be anyone, and the chorus changes its words every time it comes round, so nobody at the party can sing along. A gift song works when the person recognises themselves in the first line. Context: the song is for [WHO IT IS FOR AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP - EX: my mum, Linda]. The occasion is [THE OCCASION AND WHERE IT WILL PLAY - EX: her sixtieth, at a surprise party at home]. Three things only this person has: [MEMORIES, NICKNAMES AND HABITS - EX: sings the wrong words in the car, Sunday banana bread, calls everyone "sweetheart"]. What I want her to feel: [THE EMOTION - EX: laugh in the verses and cry in the chorus]. The genre is [GENRE AND TEMPO - EX: upbeat country / slow soul / acoustic pop]. The singer is [VOICE TYPE - EX: a warm, low female voice]. What must NOT appear: [OFF-LIMITS TOPICS - EX: the illness in 2020, OR "nothing"]. Task: write the full lyrics in English and the style line, ready to paste into Suno's custom mode. Rules: 1. Use this structure, with each tag alone on its line and in English, because that is how Suno reads them: [Intro], [Verse 1], [Pre-Chorus], [Chorus], [Verse 2], [Pre-Chorus], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Final Chorus], [Outro]. Keep the tags exactly as written. 2. The three memories go into the lyrics by the names of the things, one in each verse and the strongest one in the bridge. No "someone special", no "light of my life" and no line that would fit anyone else. 3. The person's name is in the chorus, and the chorus is IDENTICAL both times: same words, same order. Only the [Final Chorus] may repeat its last line once more. 4. Singable metre in English: lines of three or four stressed beats, four-line verses, a rhyme at the end of the second and fourth lines. Suno rushes through a line that is too long. 5. Write numbers, dates and abbreviations out in words ("sixty years", never "60"), because Suno reads digits its own way. Use brackets only for the backing vocal echo. 6. The style line is ONE line in English, up to 200 characters: genre, tempo in BPM, two or three instruments, voice type, mood, and it ends with "English vocals". Never name a real artist or band: Suno rejects the request. 7. The whole lyric has at most 32 sung lines, not counting the tags, so it fits into two to three minutes. 8. Do not imitate, quote or parody the lyrics of an existing song, and do not fit the lyrics to a well-known melody. Response format: first the song title, on one line. Then the "Style" block, with the style line. Then the "Lyrics" block, with the full lyrics and the tags. At the end, a short list saying which verse each of the three memories went into, so I can check that none went missing.

How to use

A tribute song does not get stuck on the melody: it gets stuck on the lyrics. Suno will sing anything, but it sings badly when a line is too long, when a number is written in digits and when the chorus changes every time. This prompt writes the lyrics in the format Suno reads, with the structure tags, the person's name in the chorus and the style line ready. The lyrics come out of ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and the song is made in Suno. 1. Fill in the three memories with things only that person has: the nickname, the habit, the Sunday bake. They are what make the song theirs. 2. In Suno, open custom mode, paste the lyrics into the lyrics field and the style line into the style field. 3. Generate two versions and pick by the voice, not by the lyrics. 4. If Suno swallows a word, swap it for another of the same length. 5. Check the list at the end: every memory has to be in a verse. Tip: also ask for a thirty-second version with just the chorus. That is the one that fits in a story.
