Suno Bass music prompt
Bass music in Suno lives at 100–150 BPM, usually around 140. Below is a Styles prompt that passes our Styles checker, the Exclude list that stops v6 drifting toward acoustic guitar strumming, live drums, lo-fi tape hiss, a 2:58 arrangement in bars and the cued lyric headers. Copy it, change the mood and the parts you hear differently, paste.
Styles
bass music, 140 BPM, euphoric. 2010s festival main stage, sidechained supersaws. A bright sung pop lead in the verse and build, close and clear, then the hook chopped, pitched and resampled as the drop lead. Sub-heavy bass design as the lead, half-time and broken drum switches, gritty resampled growls, space and a cinematic hit before each drop. Arrangement: intro 16 bars, verse 16 bars, build 8 bars, drop 16 bars, breakdown 16 bars, build 8 bars, drop 2 16 bars, outro 8 bars. Kick and sub own the center, supersaws and pads very wide and pumping with the kick, the drop lead loud in the mids, vocal bright and in front in the verse and build, risers and impacts out at the edges. Ends on the outro's last downbeat.
Exclude styles
acoustic guitar strumming, live drums, lo-fi tape hiss, country twang, rap verses, jazz chords
Lead tag: open Styles with bass music, word for word. It’s the wording Suno’s own tags use, so it carries more weight than a description.
Vocal: sung lead by default. Variety at 0 keeps Suno from rewriting the prompt on a final take.
What makes it Bass music
Name the parts, not the vibe.
Suno plays what you name. “Bass music vibes” gets you its idea of the average bass music track; the parts below are what make the genre itself, so they go in the prompt as instructions to the band.
- sub-heavy bass design as the lead
- half-time and broken drum switches
- gritty resampled growls
- space and a cinematic hit before each drop
Production colour: 2010s festival main stage, sidechained supersaws. 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 music that means acoustic guitar strumming, live drums and lo-fi tape hiss 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 own the center” tells Suno where things sit. “Radio-ready” or “professional” tells it nothing.
Song structure
A 2:58 radio edit at 140 BPM.
| Section | Bars | Starts | What plays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intro | 16 | 0:00 | filtered chords and a riser, the vocal hook teased through a low-pass |
| Verse | 16 | 0:27 | plucked chords, kick on the quarter, vocal close and dry |
| Build | 8 | 0:55 | snare roll speeding up, white-noise riser, the hook sung alone |
| Drop | 16 | 1:09 | full kick and sub, supersaw lead or wobble bass, chopped vocal hook |
| Breakdown | 16 | 1:36 | kick out, piano and pads, the hook sung soft |
| Build | 8 | 2:03 | snare roll, pitch riser, a one-beat gap before the drop |
| Drop 2 | 16 | 2:17 | switch-up: a new bass pattern, heavier |
| Outro | 8 | 2:45 | drums strip away, chords filter out |
| End | — | 2:58 | last chord hit with a reverb tail |
Lyric headers
[Intro | filtered chords and a riser, the vocal hook teased through a low-pass] [Verse | groove only, no vocal] [Build | snare roll speeding up, white-noise riser, the hook sung alone] [Drop | hook over the full groove] [Breakdown | kick out, piano and pads, the hook sung soft] [Build | snare roll, pitch riser, a one-beat gap before the drop] [Drop 2 | hook over the full groove] [Outro | drums strip away, chords filter 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 music.
Festival and bass vocals serve the drop: a short topline in the verse and build, then one hook phrase the drop can chop into syllables, so build it on open vowels (oh, ay, I) with a hard consonant to cut on. The last line before each drop is short, unresolved and sung word for word both times: it is the countdown. Verses are 2 to 4 lines of one concrete moment, said plainly, never a slogan; the drop itself is instrumental or the chopped hook. Echoes of the hook's last word go in parentheses.
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.

Borrowing
Use bass music as an influence.
Want a touch of bass music in another genre? Don’t put “bass music” in the lead tag of a different song: Suno will switch genres. Borrow one part and say where it goes:
- a heavy, resampled growl bass under the last drop
- a drum switch from half-time to a broken beat in the bridge
- a beat of space and a cinematic hit before the drop
