# Writing her songs

> Her voice, the shape of a song that works in a video, a style prompt for Suno, and the rules for releasing it.


None of the three films has a song yet. This page is the brief we are writing them to, so anyone who makes an Aivy song lands in the same voice.

## Her voice

A low, clear alto. The verses sit close to speech, almost talked, with every consonant audible. The choruses open up and climb. No vocal fry, no baby voice, no runs for the sake of runs. She sounds like someone who means the words.

## A song built for a video

A music video needs a song you can cut to. That changes how you write it:

- **One idea per song.** CONTEXT WINDOW is about paying attention to someone you will forget. HELPFUL is about saying yes and then one no. Write the idea at the top of the lyric sheet.
- **A hook you get on the first listen.** One short line, repeated, sung on the strongest beat. If a stranger can't sing it back after one chorus, rewrite it.
- **Verses that carry pictures.** Every line should suggest a shot. "I keep your name in pencil" gives the storyboard a notebook; "I feel so many things" gives it nothing.
- **Space for the picture.** Leave a bar or two without vocals before the last chorus. Directors need room for the big shot.
- **Three minutes.** Long enough for a story, short enough to hold a feed.

## A style prompt for Suno

Fill in the brackets per song and keep the rest:

> female alto vocal, close and dry in the verses, open and soaring in the chorus, clear diction, [tempo] BPM, [genre, two words], [one instrument that defines the song], modern pop production, wide chorus, short instrumental break before the final chorus

Write the lyrics with section tags ([Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge]) so the model places the hook where you want it. Generate several takes, pick on the vocal first and the arrangement second.

## Releasing a song with her

Aivy is open: you can release songs with her. Read the [use page](/use/) first. The short version: release under your own artist name, credit her in the description ("Aivy is an open character, aivy.live"), and say which parts are AI-made. Check your music tool's terms for commercial release; some require a paid plan at the time you generate.
