generate_lyrics writes standalone lyric text from a theme or prompt — it doesn't produce audio. It's the review step for when you want to read (and edit) the words before spending a generation on the full song.
Once you're happy with the lyrics, paste them into generate_music to produce the actual audio track, then attach it to your video.

Generate standalone song lyrics from a text prompt/theme (Suno lyrics generation) — does not produce audio, just lyric text. Use before generate_music when the user wants to review/edit lyrics first, or when they just want lyrics.
What to tell the agent
Versely's agent maps this plain-English request directly onto generate_lyrics. You don't need to know the parameter names — just describe what you want.
“Write lyrics for an upbeat pop song about a summer road trip, then use them to generate the track.”
How it works
1. Describe the theme
A prompt describing the mood, story or subject is enough to generate a full set of lyrics.
2. Review and edit
Since this returns text (not audio), you can tweak lines before committing to a generation.
3. Generate the track
Paste the finished lyrics into generate_music to produce the actual song.
4. Attach it to video
Use attach_audio_to_video to lay the finished track onto your footage.
What it costs
generate_lyrics returns text only, typically a lighter-weight call than a full song generation. The subsequent generate_music call is billed separately per track.
The formula behind that number: What does a finished 30-second AI ad cost end to end? — sums four unrelated meters, so no single rate predicts the total.
Limits & things to know
- This produces text, not audio — you still need a separate generate_music call to hear it.
- Lyric quality and fit still depend on how much direction you give in the prompt.
Who uses this
- Reviewing lyric content before committing credits to a full song generation
- Writing a custom jingle's words for a brand video
- Drafting themed lyrics for a campaign track
Frequently asked questions
Does this generate a finished song?+
No — generate_lyrics returns lyric text only. Use generate_music afterward to turn those lyrics into an actual audio track.
Why not just generate the song directly?+
generate_lyrics lets you review and edit the words before spending a generation on the full track — useful when the lyrics need to land on a specific message or brand.
