AI Song Generator

How to Make Music with AI in 3 Steps

Go from idea to finished AI-generated song in three steps — no music experience needed.

2. 1

   Describe Your Music

   Type a text prompt, paste your lyrics, or pick a style and mood. Tell the AI song generator what kind of music you want to create.

3. 2

   Generate Your Song with AI

   Rao AI creates one or two original song variations in about a minute, depending on the selected engine. Preview the results and pick your favorite.

4. 3

   Download and Use Anywhere

   Download MP3 on any plan. Lossless WAV, stems, and MIDI exports require an active subscription. Use your music in YouTube videos, podcasts, TikTok, ads, games, or other projects under the applicable license.

An AI Song Generator You Can Keep Editing

Depending on the selected engine, each generation gives you one or two complete song versions. From there you can rewrite the lyrics, reshape the voice, replace a single section, or export the track for production — without generating the whole song again.

• Write the lyrics, or let AI write them

  Paste your own lyrics and mark the structure with [Verse] and [Chorus], or generate a draft with the AI Lyrics Generator and edit it line by line.

  Start with lyrics
• Shape the voice and the style yourself

  Pick the vocal gender, write your own style tags, and use the sliders to set how closely the result follows your description and how experimental it sounds.

  Choose voice and style
• Fix one part, not the whole song

  RaoMusic lets you extend a track that ends too early, replace a single section that misses, or blend one of your songs with another track — without generating the whole song again.

  Try section editing
• Take it into production

  Download MP3 with a royalty-free commercial license on any plan. With a subscription you can also split out the stems — vocals and instruments as separate tracks — export lossless WAV, or pull the MIDI into your music software.

AI Song Generator FAQ

How do I make a song with AI?

Just describe the music you want: a mood, genre, or scene. Rao generates a complete original song with vocals and instruments in under a minute. You can try it for free, paste your own lyrics in Advanced mode, and create without music skills or software.

Can I turn my lyrics into a song with AI?

Yes. Switch to Advanced mode, paste your lyrics, choose a music style and vocal gender, and Rao will compose the melody, arrangement, and vocals around your words. Your lyrics become a complete song, and you can use the built-in AI lyrics generator if you need help writing.

How do I make instrumental music with AI?

Toggle the Instrumental switch before generating. Rao will create background music without vocals — ideal for YouTube videos, podcasts, games, presentations, and ads. You can specify genre, mood, and tempo in your prompt.

Can I edit an AI song after it's generated?

Yes. In most cases you can extend a song that ends too early without a subscription, although a selected premium engine may still require one. Cover, mashup, section replacement, and Add Vocals/Add Instrumental are subscriber features. These actions still use credits when you run them.

Can I use the same voice across multiple songs?

Yes. Save a finished song's vocals and style as a persona, then apply it to new tracks so a series or an album keeps one recognizable voice. Creating personas requires an active subscription.

Can I download stems, WAV, or MIDI?

MP3 downloads are available on any plan. Stem separation, lossless WAV export, and MIDI export require an active subscription. Stems give you vocals and instruments as separate tracks for mixing, and MIDI can be opened in your music software.

Is AI music good enough for professional use?

Rao produces studio-quality audio with professional mastering. MP3 downloads are available on any plan, and lossless WAV export is available with a subscription. Many creators use Rao for YouTube videos, social content, podcasts, ads, and game soundtracks.

Is the AI song generator really free?

Yes. You start with 50 free credits. Free credits do not start a subscription or automatic renewal; subscription billing only begins if you actively choose a subscription. Buy credits or subscribe only when you need it.

Can I use AI-generated music on YouTube and TikTok?

Yes. Music you generate with Rao includes a royalty-free commercial license for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, podcasts, ads, and client work, and subscribers can download a license certificate as proof. Platform rules on AI content do change, so check the current policy of wherever you publish.

Do I own the songs I generate?

Rao grants you worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual commercial usage rights for every finished song, with no subscription required — but it does not transfer copyright ownership. In many jurisdictions purely AI-generated music may not qualify for copyright protection, so royalty-free here is a license model, not a transfer of copyright. The commercial license page has the full terms.

Can I use the AI-generated songs commercially?

Yes. Every finished song includes a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual commercial license, and subscribers can download a license certificate (PDF) as proof. Use your music in monetized YouTube videos, ads, podcasts, games, films, and client work — no attribution and no ongoing royalties. You may also resell the music itself as standalone tracks or samples.
