This guide walks you through the Create page on LimeWire.fm, with the tips that turn a good song into a great one. **[Make your song free](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=A+hopeful+indie+song+with+jangly+guitars+about+moving+to+a+new+city&style=Indie&mood=Hopeful)** (No account needed · 10 free minutes of music a day) ## Write a description that works Name the genre, the mood and what the song is about, plus one or two instruments: "a hopeful indie song with jangly guitars about moving to a new city". Specific beats vague. ## Let the AI write the lyrics, or bring your own AI writes them is the quickest. Write lyrics I can edit shows you the words first, so you can change them before the music is made. My lyrics sings your own text. ## Fine-tune with More controls Set the tempo in BPM, the key, a title and sounds to avoid, and choose the Creativity: Focused sticks to your description, Wild takes surprising turns. ## Fix it instead of starting over On the song's page, choose New version to extend it, replace a part, give it a new style or trim it. Every edit is a new song, so the original stays as it was.

No account needed: you get 10 minutes of music a day, or 30 with a free account. 2. **Describe your song** Type what the song is about, its genre, its mood and a few instruments in the description box, or press one of the ideas. 3. **Pick styles and a mood** Tap up to three styles and two moods to steer the sound. They're optional: the description alone works too. 4. **Choose the lyrics and the voice** Choose AI writes them, My lyrics for your own words, or Instrumental. Then pick a voice and the language it's sung in. 5. **Set the length** Auto makes the song long enough for its lyrics, or pick a length from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. 6. **Press Create** Your song is usually ready in a minute or two, and it shows up under Your new songs. 7. **Listen, edit and share** Open the song to follow the synced lyrics, make a new version, download it or publish it. ## Questions ### Do I need to know anything about music? No. A sentence about the song is enough. If you do know music, More controls lets you set the tempo and the key, and lyric tags shape the structure. ### Why doesn't my song sound like what I described? Be more specific: name the genre first, then the instruments and the mood, and use Avoid for what you don't want. Making it again also gives a different result. ### How long does it take to make a song? Usually a minute or two. When many people are making songs at the same time, it can take a little longer. ### Is it really free? Yes. Make 10 minutes of music a day without an account, or 30 minutes a day with a free account. No credit card, no trial. Free listening has a short break for LimeWire Pro every few songs. ### How long can a song be? Up to 4 minutes when you make it. Extend it by up to 90 seconds at a time, as often as you like. ### Can I use the songs commercially? LimeWire.fm's terms let you use songs you make, including commercially, as far as the law and the AI model's licence allow. AI-generated music may not be protected by copyright in some countries, so for big projects check the rules where you live. ## More ideas - [How to write song lyrics](__ORIGIN__/how-to-write-song-lyrics) - [AI song generator](__ORIGIN__/ai-song-generator) - [Text to song](__ORIGIN__/text-to-song) - [AI song editor](__ORIGIN__/ai-song-editor) - [AI singer](__ORIGIN__/ai-singer) --- Made with LimeWire AI: every song on LimeWire.fm is made with AI.
