Song Structure Tags

Plan intros, verses, choruses, bridges, breaks, solos, outros, and endings with structure meta tags.

Song structure tags act like a map. They tell aimusicfactory where the song is and what role the next section should play.

Intro

[Intro] can be unpredictable if it is too vague. Add instrumentation or atmosphere:

[Intro]
[Short Instrumental Intro] [Ambient Pads] [Clean Guitar]

Hook

A hook can be lyrical, melodic, rhythmic, or instrumental. If you want a phrase to become the hook, repeat it two to four times and mark it clearly.

[Hook]
We were built for the lightning
We were built for the lightning

Break and Interlude

Use [Break] for a short reset and [Interlude] for a more developed instrumental passage.

[Break]
[Percussion Break] [No Vocals]

[Interlude]
[Melodic Synth] [Building Energy]

Outro and End

[Outro] prepares the song to close. Add ending behavior if you need a cleaner finish:

[Outro]
[Fade Out] [Reverb Tail]

[End]

Other ending cues:

  • [Refrain]
  • [Finale]
  • [Big Finish]
  • [Acoustic Outro]
  • [Reverb Fade-Out]

Reliability Tips

  • Put structure tags on their own lines.
  • Keep each section focused.
  • Use numbered verses when the song has a clear story progression.
  • Do not overload every section with too many style tags.
  • If the model ignores a tag, rewrite the lyric section to support the same intent.
