Using Verse and Chorus Metatags for AI Song Generation
Verse and Chorus
A pattern that works well for continued songs is to have a verse and chorus in each clip. The tags are not necessary; the AI will build a song pattern from the lyrics with or without them.
Verses are usually rhythmic and restrained, while the chorus has more melody and energy. A chorus is usually the ‘hook’ of the song, making it feel intentional and emotional when repeated.
Songly's AI-generated lyrics often use one verse and one chorus per clip.
[Verse] - This tag is used to specify a section of the song that should be a verse. Verses are typically the storytelling parts of the song.
[Chorus] - This tag designates a section as the chorus. The chorus is the main, catchy part of the song that often repeats and provides emotional impact.
Descriptive Style Words
Add descriptive style words to metatags to guide how the lyrics should be sung. These tags can describe mood or musical style and are not limited to the examples provided in this article.
[Sad Verse] - Indicates that the verse should convey a sad or melancholic tone.
[Happy Chorus] - Suggests that the chorus should be bright and upbeat.
Feel free to use other descriptive terms that suit the mood or style you want to convey in your song.
Using Musical Terms
Use musical terms to influence the genre. The examples given are just a few possibilities; you can use a wide range of musical terms to fit your song’s style.
[Rapped Verse] - Specifies that the verse should be delivered in a rapped style.
[Powerpop Chorus] - Indicates that the chorus should have a powerpop genre influence.
Experiment with various musical terms to achieve the desired genre or style for your song.
Lyrics are Stronger than Metatags
Metatags can ‘nudge’ the AI within the lyrics, but the lyric structure, the current song pattern, and the style prompt are stronger influences than the tags.
Even when they work, they don’t always produce the expected results. Their effectiveness can vary.
A fast rap song needs more words per line than a slow ballad. Verse and chorus need different syllable counts and phrasing to avoid sounding the same and blurring together.
It’s possible to create a song with just verses if all the lyrics follow the same pattern and rhyme scheme.
