# Make a Song

> To make a song with AI, describe it in one sentence — what it's about, the genre, the mood and the voice — and generate. Kenerate's Music Studio writes the lyrics, composes the melody and arrangement, and sings it as a finished track in about a minute; paste your own lyrics instead if you've written them. Four engines are built in (Ken Music 1.5, ElevenLabs Music, Mureka and MiniMax Music), songs download as MP3 with no watermark, and a new account gets 25 free credits.

4. Generate — The song arrives in about a minute with cover art. Keep listening while you make another.
5. Extend or download — Make it longer with Extend, remix the prompt, or download the MP3.

## In depth

### How to make a song — the short version
Every song answers four questions: what is it about, what does it sound like, how does it feel, and who sings it. Write those four answers in one sentence and you have a prompt. The engine turns it into lyrics, a melody, chords, an arrangement and a vocal performance in one pass.
Most popular songs follow a verse–chorus form: verses carry the story and the chorus repeats the main idea, often with a bridge for contrast near the end [1][2]. You can ask for that shape or leave it to the engine.

### Writing the chorus first
Songwriters often start with the chorus — the title line people remember — and build verses that lead into it [2]. With AI you can do the same: put your chorus line in quotes in the prompt and let the engine write verses around it.

### When to switch engines
Every engine hears a prompt differently:
- Ken Music 1.5 — the default, strong vocals in many languages.
- ElevenLabs Music — exact length, clean mix; good for videos.
- Mureka V9.5 — writes its own lyrics well; MP3, WAV or FLAC.
- MiniMax Music 3.0 — follows section tags closely.
