Getting the groove right
- →Describe artists' sound, don't name them. Prompts that name real artists are turned away. Instead of a name, describe the sound: "smooth melodic male vocal, soft log drums".
- →Say which language. Write "in Pidgin", "English and Yoruba" or paste lyrics in the mix you want. Left unsaid, the vocal defaults to English.
- →Give the hook a name or a phrase. Afrobeats hooks live on repetition. A name or a short phrase to repeat ("Ada, my baby") gives the chorus something to hold on to.
- →Pick Amapiano or Afrobeats, not both. Asking for both in one prompt usually lands in a muddy middle. Choose one and add the other's colour as a detail.
Afrobeat Song Generator FAQ
Can it sing in Pidgin, Yoruba or Igbo?
Pidgin and English work well. Yoruba, Igbo and other languages can be written into the lyrics and are sung, but pronunciation and tones are less reliable — listen to both takes and regenerate if a line comes out wrong.
Can I make a song for someone with their name in it?
Yes. Put the name in your description or in the lyrics. For a song built around one person — birthday, wedding, anniversary — the custom song pages walk you through the details to include.
Can I release it or use it in my videos?
Songs made on a paid plan can be used in releases, videos and streams. Free-plan songs are for personal use.
Can I get an instrumental to sing over?
Yes. Switch on No vocals and describe the beat. You get an Afrobeats or Amapiano instrumental you can record your own vocal on.
