AI in Music: Top 5 AI Lyrics Song Generators 2024
The possibilities of Artificial intelligence in various spheres are unlimited. They could be used in numerous fields, not only for making texts and analyzing large piles of information on the Internet, but also for art and design, music creation, marketing, education, finance, and other business activities. AI is able to analyze all trends from a huge Internet database, knows how to prepare numerous products, and can do this quickly within minimum input information. The tool is self-educated using machine learning algorithms and, at your request, has been improved. You only need to choose the right tool for better results.
This article is focused on music generation and how it becomes more accessible using the best AI tools and platforms for creating melodies, ringtones, rhythms, harmonies, backing tracks, or entire songs. Imagine you simply insert some crucial ideas into song lyrics for the background of your blog and, in a couple of minutes, receive the result.
How to use AI tools for song generation
The AI helps not only to create a new song but can also remix the existing one or provide you with some hints for making your new hit. AI tools are also the best way to try something new in the musical industry. AI can add instruments to your composition and change mood or genre. You can add virtual musicians to your band and receive an accompanist in real time. After you choose the tool, you need to perform simple steps similar to almost all AI platforms.
- Choose the type of music you want to create (remix, new composition, background music).
- Provide input parameters (genre, mode, instrumentation, tempo).
- Generate the music.
- Listen and improve the result by adding instruments, modifying sections, and adjusting the structure.
- Regenerate the music as many times as you want.
- Download your music and use it for any of your purposes.
We collected the top 5 AI lyrics song generators for your convenience. These tools are trained on thousands of soundtracks and musical data from the Internet. They use beats, melodies, harmonies, and instruments but do not steal the data; they create a new song clear of copyrights.
Unfortunately, the best AI tools for music generation do not offer lyrics generation, but they are still on our list as very powerful musical instruments.
Bethoven.ai
More than millions of users have already created almost two million tracks using the Bethoven.ai tool. The most popular areas of use in the resulting samples are YouTube, Podcasts, Trailers, Short films, Social Media, and Game Design.
The generation starts by inserting the prompt with a description of your requirements (a) and b) from the list above). Based on your input, the tool generates one main track and four additional ones. Using the dashboard on the right, you can create an emotion, select and recompose, edit the tracks, add instruments, and change genre. You can modify your prompt after you receive the result. For example, you may add Asian sounds or a violin.
All users may choose from three tariff options with annual and monthly payments. All plans can be adjusted per minute of download. You can check the capabilities with the free plan and further upgrade it. With the paid plan, you receive a license to the downloaded music, the latest tool features, stream downloads, and a specific number of downloaded minutes.
We listed this tool as it is one of the best on the market for melody generation, which is essential for good hits, but as its capabilities in lyric generation are limited, we recommend combining it with another tool (you can even use ChatGPT for lyrics if you already have the music).

Suno AI

This generator was previously known as Bark, which was upgraded not only from speech production to a fully ready song with lyrics. To start working with the tool, you need to log in using an Apple, Microsoft, Google, or Discord account or a US phone number. Then, you need to provide the tool with a small description (prompt) of what song you want to create; it is better to make the description detailed with genres and modes.
In addition to the prompt, you may choose from the available style of music (metal, symphonic, classical) or invent your style. Per one input, two tracks are created. All created songs with vocals, background music, and instruments are available in the library within seconds.
There are two plans for using the Suno AI—free and paid. In the free plan, you receive 50 credits per day, and to create two songs with one input information, you need to use five credits. You can’t generate only one song; by default, it will always be two. For the paid plan ($8$/month), you receive 2.5 credits. In both paid and free plans, the generated vocal composition is the best from AI tools.

You can copy and paste it to any available editors. The lyrics are generated using ChatGPT, Llama, LangChain, and other models.
The BoredHumans are available only for free, there are no advanced options with paid subscriptions. That is why its functionality is limited. But in the prompt section, when you need to describe the topic, you can insert the previous version and ask to rewrite verses and chorus. The simplicity of use offers you unlimited inspiration opportunities. You do not need to have any music-writing experience to use this tool. But do not always expect the best result; the quality differs from one generation to another, and the result can be far from original and contain a lot of repeated words.

Conclusion
The popularity of AI tools for song generation has significantly increased with improving the quality of results. You can generate lyrics, music samples, background music, ringtones, and many more. AI tools understand human language, and you need to communicate with the tool using prompts. You may request the desired genre or mood, specific topics, and many more. In this article, we described two special tools for lyric generation: two for music and one for unity. By using one or two tools, you can find inspiration for a new hit, improve your current song, and try new horizons. But still, humans need to edit the generated music for repetitive or formulaic parts and add emotional depth if required. One of the best features of these listed is that all of them are available for free, at least in the simplified version.
