Beyond English: Creating Lyrics in Many Languages with Lyric Genie
Sing Your Song, In Your Language!
Music is a universal language, but lyrics often tell their story best in a specific tongue. If you’ve ever wanted to write a song in a language other than English, you might wonder if creative tools can keep up.
The good news is Lyric Genie is designed to work with many different languages! This means you can create lyrics in the language you’re most comfortable with, or even experiment with new ones.
How Lyric Genie Understands and Uses Your Language
One of the most helpful features of Lyric Genie is its automatic language detection and generation. Here’s how it works:
- Speak, It Understands: When you go to the Generate page and start speaking or singing your ideas, Lyric Genie automatically recognizes the language you’re using. It will then generate lyrics for you in that same language.
- Request a Different Language: You can also speak to Lyric Genie in one language but ask it to write the song lyrics in another. For example, you could speak in English and say, “Write a song about summer in French,” and Lyric Genie will provide the lyrics in French.
- Works on Generate and Refine Pages: This flexibility is available when you first generate lyrics and also when you’re working on them later on the Refine page (accessible through your My Lyrics page).
There’s no complicated dropdown menu to find or settings to change for language. Just use your voice naturally! You can find out more about the general process in our How Lyric Genie Works guide.
