Intro Writing AI

Getting the first few seconds right can make or break your song. We’ve found that strong intros set the emotional tone, introduce your core theme, and create that crucial hook that keeps listeners engaged. Our voice-first approach helps you craft openings that feel natural and compelling from the very first word.

The Perfect Prompt for Song Intros

Here’s the exact prompt we recommend:

Voice Input: “Create a compelling song intro that establishes the theme of moving forward after loss. Use gentle alliteration and set up the pre-chorus with rising emotion. Keep it conversational but poetic, around 4 lines that lead naturally into the verse.”

Speaking Tips:

• State your core theme or concept clearly first
• Mention if you want literary devices like alliteration
• Specify how the intro should connect to other sections
• Include the emotional direction you want to establish

Example Output

Title: Tomorrow’s Turn

[Intro]
Sunlight slips through shuttered dreams,
Silent streets and scattered schemes,
Time to turn the page we've torn,
Find the path we're walking toward.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step feels strange but right,
Moving from the dark to light...

Why this works:

• Gentle alliteration (“sunlight slips,” “silent streets,” “scattered schemes”) creates musical flow
• The concept of moving forward is established immediately through imagery
• Natural transition sets up the pre-chorus with building emotion
• Four lines provide enough space to establish mood without overstaying
