AI Music Generator: Make Original Songs from a Text Prompt

Updated

Short answer: describe a style, add your own lyrics or switch to instrumental, and VdoBloom makes an original MP3 song for a flat 6 credits on ACE-Step (30 to 300 seconds) or 12 credits for a full MiniMax Music 2.6 song. New accounts get 10 free credits, and the daily check-in adds 2 to 5 more a day.

VdoBloom’s AI music generator creates an original track from a short text description. Describe the genre, mood, tempo and instruments, optionally paste your own lyrics, and the AI composes a finished song with vocals or an instrumental that you can play and download as an MP3. It is built for creators who need background music for videos, a custom jingle, a birthday song or a quick demo of an idea.

Is it free? Every new account gets 10 free credits, enough for one ACE-Step track (6 credits), and the MP3 download works on the free plan. Each generation has a flat price: 6 credits on ACE-Step Base or ACE-Step Turbo, whatever length you choose, and 12 credits for a full song on MiniMax Music 2.6. The Lite pack’s 300 credits ($19.50 one-time, never expiring, or $15 a month) cover 25 MiniMax songs or 50 ACE-Step tracks.

Tracks render in the cloud, usually within a few minutes, and are saved to your My Creations library automatically.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a music model

    MiniMax Music 2.6 for complete songs with vocals and an instrumental option, ACE-Step Base for control over length and vocal language, or ACE-Step Turbo for faster results.

  2. 2

    Describe the track

    Write a style prompt with genre, mood, tempo and instruments, for example “upbeat synth-pop, 120 BPM, bright female vocals, punchy drums”.

  3. 3

    Add lyrics or go instrumental

    Paste your own lyrics for the AI to sing, or switch on Instrumental in MiniMax for music without vocals.

  4. 4

    Set length and language (ACE-Step)

    Choose a duration from 30 to 300 seconds and, optionally, the language the vocals should be sung in.

  5. 5

    Generate and download

    Click Generate. The finished track appears in the preview player with a Download MP3 button and is saved to My Creations.

Why use this tool

  • Vocals and lyrics

    Both model families accept custom lyrics, so the vocals follow the words you wrote. Leave lyrics empty and the AI builds the song from your prompt.

  • Instrumental mode

    MiniMax Music 2.6 has an Instrumental toggle for background tracks, beds for voiceovers and music for videos where speech must stay clear.

  • Tracks up to five minutes

    ACE-Step lets you set any length from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, at the same flat 6 credits per track.

  • Flat price per track

    No per-second billing: the cost is fixed per generation and shown before you click Generate.

Quick facts

  • Models: MiniMax Music 2.6 (12 credits), ACE-Step Base and ACE-Step Turbo (6 credits each), flat per generation.
  • Length: 30 to 300 seconds on ACE-Step; MiniMax sets its own song length.
  • Vocals: sings your own lyrics; Instrumental toggle on MiniMax.
  • Vocal language: free text on ACE-Step, for example Hindi or Tamil.
  • Output: MP3 download, saved to My Creations.
  • Free credits: 10 on signup plus 2 to 5 a day from the daily check-in; no subscription needed.

Which AI music model should you use?

Start with MiniMax Music 2.6 when you want a complete, radio-style song with vocals, or a clean instrumental. Choose ACE-Step Base when you need a specific length, such as exactly 60 seconds for a reel or 3 minutes for a full track, or want to set the vocal language. ACE-Step Turbo uses the same controls and returns results faster, which suits trying several prompt ideas.

MiniMax Music 2.6
Best for:Full songs with vocals
Lyrics:Yes
Instrumental toggle:Yes
Length control:Set by the model
Credits per track:12
ACE-Step Base
Best for:Detailed control, longer tracks
Lyrics:Yes
Instrumental toggle:No (describe it in the prompt)
Length control:30–300 seconds
Credits per track:6
ACE-Step Turbo
Best for:Faster drafts and variations
Lyrics:Yes
Instrumental toggle:No (describe it in the prompt)
Length control:30–300 seconds
Credits per track:6

How much does AI music cost?

Each track has a fixed price, so a five-minute ACE-Step track costs the same as a 30-second one. One-time credit packs never expire; subscription credits reset each billing cycle. If a generation fails, the credits are refunded.

How to write a music prompt that works

The style prompt steers the whole track. Specific, concrete words give better results than general ones like “good music”.

  • Genre and era: “90s boom-bap hip hop”, “modern Afrobeats”, “lo-fi chillhop”.
  • Mood and energy: “uplifting”, “melancholic”, “tense and cinematic”.
  • Tempo: give a BPM, such as “85 BPM” for lo-fi or “128 BPM” for house.
  • Instruments: “warm Rhodes piano, upright bass, brushed drums”.
  • Vocals: “soft male vocals”, “powerful female vocals”, or “no vocals”.
  • Lyrics: label parts with [Verse] and [Chorus] and keep lines short and singable.

How AI music generation works

Music models learn the patterns of melody, harmony, rhythm and vocal phrasing from large amounts of audio. When you send a style prompt, the model composes a new piece that matches the description, arranging instruments and, if you supplied lyrics, fitting the words to a melody and singing them. Each generation is new, so running the same prompt twice gives two different takes.

That randomness is useful: if the first version is close but not right, generate again or adjust one detail in the prompt, such as the tempo or the lead instrument, rather than rewriting everything.

What creators make with it

Most tracks end up under a video or as a standalone song. Popular uses include:

  • Background music for YouTube videos, Reels and TikToks
  • Custom songs for birthdays, weddings and gifts, with the person’s name in the lyrics
  • Jingles and short brand themes for ads
  • Music beds under podcast intros and voiceovers
  • Demos that turn written lyrics into a sung draft
  • A soundtrack to turn into a music video

Limits to know

A few things the music generator does not do on this page:

  • Output is a single mixed MP3. To split a song into vocals, drums, bass and other stems, use the Vocal Remover and Stem Splitter.
  • You cannot upload a song to restyle or extend here; that is what AI Song Cover does, for songs you own.
  • MiniMax Music 2.6 has no duration setting; use ACE-Step when you need an exact length.
  • Do not ask for a living artist’s voice or a copyrighted song’s lyrics; describe the style instead.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a song with my own lyrics for free?

Yes. The 10 signup credits cover one ACE-Step song (6 credits) with your lyrics, and the daily check-in adds 2 to 5 credits a day for more.

How do I make a 5-minute song with AI?

Pick ACE-Step Base or Turbo and set the duration to 300 seconds. It still costs a flat 6 credits.

Can I download the AI song as an MP3?

Yes. Every track has a Download MP3 button, on the free plan too, and is saved to My Creations.

What is the best AI music generator for songs with lyrics?

On VdoBloom, MiniMax Music 2.6 (12 credits per song) is the pick for a complete song that sings your lyrics. ACE-Step Base (6 credits) also sings custom lyrics and adds an exact length from 30 to 300 seconds and a vocal language field.

Is there an AI jingle maker for business?

Yes. Describe a short, catchy hook with your brand name in the lyrics and set ACE-Step to 30 seconds (6 credits). Keep the lyric to one or two lines so the name is sung clearly, and generate a few takes to choose from.

Can I use it as an AI music generator for Reels?

Yes. Use ACE-Step Base or Turbo and set the length to 30 to 60 seconds so the track fits your Reel, at 6 credits per track. Download the MP3 and add it in your editor or in the AI Music Video Maker.

Can it make an AI lullaby for babies?

Yes. Ask for a slow tempo (around 60 BPM), soft instruments such as music box or acoustic guitar, and hushed vocals, and paste your own gentle lyrics. MiniMax Music 2.6 costs 12 credits per song.

Can I make instrumental music for a podcast?

Yes. Turn on Instrumental in MiniMax Music 2.6 and describe a calm, steady bed that will sit under speech. For an intro sting of an exact length, use ACE-Step with no lyrics and "no vocals" in the prompt.

Can I make an AI birthday song with a name?

Yes. Write the person’s name into your lyrics, for example in the chorus, and the vocals will sing it. Spell unusual names the way they sound if the first take mispronounces them.

Is there an AI Hindi song generator with lyrics?

Paste Hindi lyrics and, on ACE-Step, type Hindi in the Vocal Language field. Pronunciation and style can vary between takes, so generate two or three versions at 6 credits each and keep the best.

Can it work as an AI Tamil song generator?

You can paste Tamil lyrics and type Tamil in ACE-Step’s Vocal Language field. The field is free text rather than a fixed list, so quality is not guaranteed for every language; try a short 30-second test first.

Can I make an AI devotional song?

Yes. Describe the tradition and instruments, such as a bhajan with harmonium and tabla or a gospel choir with organ, and paste your own devotional lyrics. Write original words rather than copying a published hymn.

Is it an AI background music generator for YouTube that is copyright free?

We do not label the tracks "copyright free". Each track is newly generated, and VdoBloom’s terms say you retain ownership of content you generate. YouTube has its own rules for AI music, and its Content ID can still flag tracks that sound like existing songs, so avoid prompts that imitate a real song or artist.

Is the AI music generator free?

You can try it free. New accounts get 10 credits, enough for one ACE-Step track at 6 credits, and the MP3 download is available on the free plan. MiniMax Music 2.6 songs cost 12 credits. The Lite pack’s 300 credits ($19.50 one-time) cover 25 MiniMax songs or 50 ACE-Step tracks.

Can the AI sing my own lyrics?

Yes. MiniMax Music 2.6, ACE-Step Base and ACE-Step Turbo all accept custom lyrics next to the style prompt, and the vocals follow your words. Mark sections with [Verse] and [Chorus] to shape the structure.

Can I make instrumental music with no vocals?

Yes. Switch on the Instrumental toggle in MiniMax Music 2.6 to get a track without vocals. With ACE-Step, leave the lyrics empty and describe the track as instrumental in the prompt.

How long can an AI-generated song be?

ACE-Step Base and Turbo let you choose any length from 30 to 300 seconds, so up to five minutes, at a flat 6 credits. MiniMax Music 2.6 decides the length of the full song itself.

Can I use AI-generated music on YouTube or in commercial projects?

Under VdoBloom’s terms of service, you retain ownership of the content you generate with the service. Check that your prompt and lyrics do not copy someone else’s song or imitate a real artist, and read each platform’s rules for AI-generated music before monetizing.

Which AI models does VdoBloom use for music?

Three models: MiniMax Music 2.6 for full songs with vocals and an instrumental option (12 credits), ACE-Step Base for detailed control over length and vocal language (6 credits), and ACE-Step Turbo for faster generation (6 credits).

Can I make songs in other languages?

Yes. Write the lyrics in the language you want, and with ACE-Step you can also type the vocal language, such as Spanish, Hindi or Japanese, in the Vocal Language field.

How long does it take to generate a song?

Most tracks finish within a few minutes. ACE-Step Turbo is the fastest option. You can leave the page while it renders, because every track is saved to My Creations.

What file format do I get?

Tracks download as MP3 files from the preview player, ready for any video editor, DAW or VdoBloom’s music video tools.

Can I turn the song into a music video?

Yes. Use the AI Music Video Maker to cut visuals to the beat of your track, or the AI Music Video Generator to turn a photo into a performance of the song.
