Prompt tips

- Leave it instrumental while exploringLyrics narrow the search. Find the music first, then write words for it.
- Name a reference eraDecade and scene are compact, high signal direction.
- Move to V5.5 for the finalWhen you need a specific length, the flagship is the tier with the control.
Mechanism
How Suno V5 works
You send a style description and optional lyrics, and it composes and performs two takes from that one prompt at a flat price. It is tuned for speed and expressiveness rather than for precise control, which makes it the tier to use while you are still deciding what the track should be.
