Prompting Suno AI (2025) - A visual guide to emotional prompts (YouTube video companion) by Aritha at YouTube.com/@CreativelyMakeAIMusic. c. 2025 all rights reserved. 

In this video (at approx. 3:05) I explain MY FIVE POCKETS OF EMOTION IN SUNO PROMPTS and the MUSIC PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS that are needed to create an Emotional Song prompt in Suno AI (as of July 2025, Suno v3.5, 4, and 4.5 for paid members). The foundation to understanding the problem (at approximately: 0:00 ) is SUNO'S SECRET LANGUAGE and UNDERSTANDING PROMPT LANGUAGE.

Please watch the video in its entirety to fully understand why this works and how to think about your own song so you can adapt it to your own music. 

I'm going to send notifications and free resources to people via my email list about 1x per month (maybe twice if I really get things organized) so if you'd like to, go ahead and join my email list https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/1412628/149975119077311887/share



Here is the initial song prompt:
STYLE BOX INFO: indie folk, acoustic, singer-songwriter
LYRIC BOX INFO:

[Intro] [Verse 1] The old street signs are rusted now But they still point the way somehow [Chorus] And every crack in this old pavement tells a story A ghost of glory, oh glory [Verse 2] I pass the house where we first met A silhouette I can't forget [Bridge] Time moves on, they say it's true But a part of me is still here with you [Outro]

And here is the final prompt:
In style box:
Acoustic Indie Folk, slow tempo, 90 BPM, intimate and warm, layered acoustic guitars, gentle piano, atmospheric pads, male vocalist

In lyric box:

[Intro: soft, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, sound of distant rain][A vocal style with intimacy and haunting emotional intensity] [Verse 1: gentle, close-mic'd male vocals, warm and conversational, almost a whisper] The old street signs are rusted no-o-ow But they still point the way someho-o-ow [Chorus: soaring falsetto vocals, layered harmonies, wide and atmospheric, emotional release] And every crack in this old pavement tells a sto-o-ry A ghost of glory (ooh, glory) [Verse 2: slightly more intense vocals, a bit of rasp, building emotion] I pass the house where we first met A silhouette I can't forge-e-et [Bridge: acapella, layered vocal harmonies, quiet and reflective] Time moves on, they say it's true But a part of me is still here with yo-o-ou [Outro: fading acoustic guitar, final whispered vocal line (I’m home), gentle fade to silence] [Bridge: acapella, layered vocal harmonies, quiet and reflective] Time moves on, they say it's true But a part of me is still here with yo-o-ou [Outro: fading acoustic guitar, final whispered vocal line (I’m home), gentle fade to silence]

* forge-e-et should have been done this way to be pronounced correctly - for-ge-e-et
* You'll notice the bridge and outro were repeated - that was a typo - the song still came out well

NOTE ON LYRICS: These are a draft and have the emotion I wanted; I don't go into lyric writing in this video. I suggest mysongcoach.com for lyric writing. 



I've added a list of tested meta-tags that you can insert into your lyrics or lyric box instructions,  or use as ideas for the style box. There are many more than this; these are the tags I've used most in various songs. 


🎭 Emotion-Based Vocal Tags

These tags influence the emotional tone or feeling of the vocal delivery.

[emotional vocal]
[intimate vocal]
[confident vocal]
[vulnerable vocal]
[romantic vocal]
[dramatic vocal]
[happy vocal]
[sad vocal]
[angry vocal]
[calm vocal]
[soulful vocal]

🎧 Texture-Based Vocal Tags

These define the timbre, vocal texture, or how the voice physically sounds.

[breathy vocal]
[raspy vocal]
[soft vocal]
[gritty vocal]
[raw vocal]
[clean vocal]
[falsetto vocal]
[whispered vocal]
[auto-tuned vocal]

🎤 Performance-Based Vocal Tags

These describe how the vocal is delivered, stylistic choices, or how it’s layered or presented in the mix.

[expressive vocal]
[spoken vocal]
[spoken word]
[melodic rap]
[dynamic vocal]
[double-tracked vocal]
[stacked vocals]
[gang vocals]
[lush harmonies]
[powerful vocal]
