Suno Bass house prompt
Bass house in Suno lives at 124–128 BPM, usually around 126. Below is a Styles prompt that passes our Styles checker, the Exclude list that stops v6 drifting toward distorted guitars, trap hi-hats, rock drums, a 3:18 arrangement in bars and the cued lyric headers. Copy it, change the mood and the parts you hear differently, paste.
Styles
bass house, 126 BPM, euphoric. 2010s bass house, gritty mid-range bass. Chopped, pitched, rhythmically sliced vocal phrases used as an instrument. Gritty mid-range wobble bass riff as the hook, punchy kick, garage-style shuffled hats, chopped vocal shouts between bass stabs. Arrangement: intro 16 bars, vocal a 16 bars, build 8 bars, drop 16 bars, breakdown 16 bars, build 8 bars, drop 2 16 bars, outro 8 bars. Kick and sub dominate the low end, vocal in front during breakdowns, chords sidechained to the kick, wide hats and percussion. Ends on the outro's last downbeat.
Exclude styles
distorted guitars, trap hi-hats, rock drums, rap verses
Lead tag: open Styles with bass house, word for word. It’s the wording Suno’s own tags use, so it carries more weight than a description.
Vocal: vocal chops by default. Variety at 0 keeps Suno from rewriting the prompt on a final take.
What makes it Bass house
Name the parts, not the vibe.
Suno plays what you name. “Bass house vibes” gets you its idea of the average bass house track; the parts below are what make the genre itself, so they go in the prompt as instructions to the band.
- gritty mid-range wobble bass riff as the hook
- punchy kick
- garage-style shuffled hats
- chopped vocal shouts between bass stabs
Production colour: 2010s bass house, gritty mid-range bass. One phrase like this sets the era better than a list of adjectives.
Why the Exclude list matters. v6 leans toward pop and toward whatever the neighbouring genres share. For bass house that means distorted guitars, trap hi-hats and rock drums creeping in. Put those in Exclude, never as “no …” in Styles: a negative in Styles names the thing and often adds it.
Mix placement beats quality words: “kick and sub dominate the low end” tells Suno where things sit. “Radio-ready” or “professional” tells it nothing.

Lyric headers
[Intro | kick, hats, shaker] [Vocal A | soulful lead over the groove] [Build | rising, tension building] [Drop | hook over the full groove] [Breakdown | kick out, chords and vocal] [Build | rising, tension building] [Drop 2 | hook over the full groove] [Outro | fading out] [End | clean ending]
Every header carries a direction after the bar, [Section | how it’s performed]. A bare [Verse] leaves the delivery to chance. The last line, [End | clean ending], is what stops the fade-out and the bonus minute of noodling.
Lyrics
Writing words for bass house.
House vocals are mantras: a short hook line repeated until it becomes a feeling, answered by gospel-style ad-libs in parentheses. Lines 4 to 8 syllables. Repetition is intentional: the hook line is sung word for word every time; only the last repeat may shift one word of another line. Verses are one tight image, not a story.
Keep verse lines to about 8 syllables and hook lines to about 6. Longer lines get rushed or swallowed; our lyric checker counts them for you.
