Type "lonely hearts under neon lights" and you'll get back a full track with vocals. MusGen converts text prompts or written lyrics into complete songs—no music theory background needed. It handles melody generation and vocal performance based on whatever description you feed it.
The lyrics-to-song feature works like this: paste in verses you've written, and the AI composes matching music around them. You specify genre, tempo, instruments, voice timbre, and overall vibe. Got poetry sitting in a notebook? Turn it into an actual recorded song in minutes. MusGen also generates original lyrics if you're starting from scratch (or creates AI covers of existing tracks with different vocal styles).
Free users get 8 credits daily—enough to experiment. Paid plans start at $7.30 monthly when billed yearly. They scale up to the Flagship tier at $65.90 monthly, which includes 60,000 credits annually and year-long cloud storage for your tracks. Basic subscribers get 30 days of storage. Free accounts? Just one day.
Trending tracks show play counts reaching over 400,000 and star ratings above 4.3. Real people are using this and sharing results. You can download lossless files and create music videos from generated tracks.
Input limits exist though. Lyrics cap at 5,000 characters—style descriptions at 1,000. You can't use famous names or sensitive words in your prompts. Free accounts run one job at a time while paid tiers handle multiple concurrent generations.
