AI Music Generator for Songs, Soundtracks & Instrumentals

Generate soundtracks, instrumental music, and vocal songs from a text prompt. Choose a music model, describe the genre, mood, instruments, vocals, and lyrics, then generate multiple versions in the same workspace as your images, videos, and voiceovers.

Warm Acoustic Folk Song

Hyperpop Electronic Track

Glam-Punk Rock

Dark Aggressive Rap

Choose Your AI Music Model

getimg.ai gives you more than one music model inside the same Create Music tool. Pick the one that fits the brief, or run the same prompt through both and keep the take that works.

Google Lyria 3 Pro

Google's music generation model, available on getimg.ai. Generate vocal songs or instrumentals, describe the singer and the arrangement, or paste your own lyrics.

Eleven Music 2

The ElevenLabs music generation model, available on getimg.ai. Same prompt box, same track lengths, same variation counts, and a different reading of the same brief.

Switch between them

The model is a dropdown, not a separate product. Generate a brief in one model, switch, and generate it again to compare before you commit to a direction.

Turn Text Into Music

Your prompt is the brief. One short line already works, because the model fills in the rest, so detail is a way to take control rather than a requirement. You have up to 4,056 characters to spend on it.

Genre, era, and tempo Name a genre or blend two, anchor the sound to an era, and set the tempo in BPM or in plain words like slow and unhurried.
Instruments and mood List the instruments you want out front and the atmosphere you are after, from wistful and sparse to menacing and dense.
Structure, vocals, and lyrical theme Map the sections, describe the singer, and say what the lyrics should be about. Ask for an instrumental and the vocals stay out.

How to Write an AI Music Prompt

A music prompt works best when it covers the same ground a composer would ask about. Use this order and drop whatever you do not care about: genre, era or style, mood, tempo, instruments, song structure, vocal direction, lyrical theme.

The formula

Genre + era or style + mood + tempo + instruments + song structure + vocal direction + lyrical theme. None of it is required. Each part you add is one more decision the model does not have to make for you.

A vocal song prompt

Warm indie folk song, 92 BPM, acoustic guitar, brushed drums and soft piano, intimate female vocal, restrained verses building into a wide emotional chorus, lyrics about returning to your hometown after years away.

An instrumental prompt

Same shape, minus the singer: genre and mood, BPM, instruments, dynamics, structure, and what the track will sit under. Naming the final use tends to keep the arrangement open enough to leave room for it.

Say it when you want no vocals

The model is free to add a vocal when the prompt leaves the question open. If you need an instrumental, write instrumental or no vocals explicitly.

Build a Better Music Prompt

The same idea, prompted four ways. Each step adds one layer of direction, and you can hear what that layer changes. All four takes were generated with Google Lyria 3 Pro, with nothing changed but the prompt on each card.

Same Prompt, Two Music Models

Four briefs, each run through Google Lyria 3 Pro and Eleven Music 2 with nothing changed between the two runs. The point is not which model wins. It is that the same words get two usable readings, and which one you want depends on the job. Credit cost differs by model and by track length, and the app shows it before you generate.

AI Music Prompt Examples

Eight briefs you can copy and adapt. Each one lists the model that generated it, the full prompt, and whether the take has vocals.

Create Instrumental Music

Instrumental tracks exist to sit under something else: a video, a narration, a game, a presentation. Write instrumental or no vocals in the prompt and the model leaves the singer out.

Beds for video and film Score an ad, a social cut, an explainer, or a short film. Describe the mood and the dynamics, then keep the take that matches the picture.
Beds for podcasts and narration Generate instrumental beds that can be trimmed or arranged under narration, plus intro themes and transition cues.
Game and presentation audio Theme cues, menu music, and background tracks. Generate a few takes and pick the one that holds up on repeat listening.

Create Songs with Vocals

A vocal song is the deliverable itself, not a bed under something else. Demos, social music content, branded songs, and full song ideas all start the same way: describe the singer and give the lyrics a subject.

Describe the singer Gender, tone, and range give the most reliable results. A warm husky alto with a smoky edge reads very differently from a bright, weightless soprano.
Write the lyrics or delegate them Paste a full lyric sheet, or tell the model what the song should be about and let it write the words.
Demos and social content Hear a lyric performed before booking a session, or turn an idea into a track for social in one sitting.

Write Your Own Lyrics, or Describe a Theme

Paste your own lyrics to guide the vocal performance, or describe a theme and let the model generate lyrics. Review the final wording and pronunciation before publishing.

Paste a full lyric sheet Use section labels like [Verse 1] and [Chorus] to shape where the words land, and parentheses for echoes and backing answers.
Or just give it a subject Tell the model what the lyrics should be about. Without a subject it has to guess one from the music description, and it may not land where you wanted.
Check names and pronunciation Include the brand name or tagline in the lyrics and review pronunciation in the generated take. Product names, trademarks, and multilingual lyrics are worth a listen before you publish.

Choose the Track Length

Length is a setting below the prompt box, not something you write into the prompt. Choose from 30-second, 1-minute, 2-minute, or 3-minute generations, then select or edit the version that best fits the project.

Four fixed lengths 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes. Pick one before you generate.
Related versions, not identical ones Reuse the same prompt and musical direction to generate related versions at different available lengths. Results can vary between generations.
When the cut needs something else Generate another version at one of the available track lengths when the project needs a shorter or longer piece, then trim or arrange it in your editor.

Generate Multiple Takes

Create up to four versions from the same brief, compare how each model interprets the genre, vocal delivery, melody, and arrangement, then continue with the strongest direction.

1, 2, or 4 variations Set the number of takes next to the length. Four readings of one brief cost less attention than four separate rewrites.
Steer with the prompt Use genre, era, instrumentation, tempo, and dynamics in the prompt to steer the musical direction. If a take misses the brief, generate more interpretations rather than hoping the next one lands.
Keep the direction that works Compare the takes side by side, then carry the strongest one forward into the length you actually need.

Genres for Every Project

From premium cinematic to gritty lo-fi. Name the genre in the prompt, generate a few takes, and keep the one that fits.

How to Mix Genres

Naming one genre gets you a competent version of that genre. Combining two is where a prompt starts sounding like your project instead of a catalog entry. A brief like 90s trip-hop drums with a modern alt-pop vocal and chamber strings has no stock category to fall back on.

Name two genres Put the rhythm section in one genre and the melodic or vocal layer in another. The model has to reconcile them, and that is where the character comes from.
Anchor it to an era An era does as much work as a genre. Early 2000s R&B and 80s synthpop each carry their own production, instruments, and mix character.
Separate the vocal from the backing The vocal direction does not have to match the instrumental genre. A folk vocal over electronic production is a prompt, not a problem.

AI-Generated Music vs Stock Music vs Custom Composition

Three different ways to get music onto a project. They trade off differently on speed, control, and how much of the result you get to direct.

AI-generated music

Generate from your own prompt in seconds, direct it with genre, instruments, tempo, and lyrics, and regenerate as many versions as the brief needs. Results vary between generations, and licensing depends on the platform's terms.

Stock music

You hear the finished track before you commit, and you choose from an existing catalog rather than describing something new. Licensing depends on the specific library and the terms attached to the track you pick.

Custom composition

The highest level of bespoke control and direct human collaboration. Commissioned music usually asks for more briefing, feedback, production time, and budget than quick AI concept generation.

AI Music vs AI Sound Effects

Music and sound effects are different jobs, and getimg.ai keeps them in separate tools. Music means songs, scores, beds, vocals or instrumentals, and longer musical structure. Sound effects mean impacts, Foley, ambience, and shorter single sounds.

Create Music Text to a song, a soundtrack, or an instrumental. Vocals or no vocals, 30 seconds to 3 minutes, downloaded as MP3.
Create Sound Effect Text to an impact, a Foley hit, or an ambience. Short single sounds for edits, games, and interfaces.
Create Speech A script to a spoken voice. Voiceover and narration, which is a different job from a sung vocal.

Music, Picture, and Voice in the Same Project

A spot needs a track, a key visual, a shorter cut, and often a voiceover. getimg.ai keeps music, image, video, and speech generation in the same project so every part of the asset lives together.

AI image generation Cover art, ad creative, social posts, thumbnail variants. Create the visuals with our current image models in the same project as your soundtrack.
AI video generation Music videos, promo cuts, animated explainers, social loops. Create the picture with our current video models and keep the soundtrack alongside it.
One subscription, every asset Music, image, video, and speech generation draw on a single plan, so adding the cover, the trailer, or the voiceover does not mean adding another tool.
