Length
7 to 30 seconds is typical. Generate the full length you need rather than cutting into the middle of a longer track.
Levels and loudness
Phone speakers lose low end, so make sure the hook lives in the midrange. Mastering around typical streaming levels is enough.
Licensing
Creator and business accounts often cannot use the platform’s commercial music library freely. Tracks generated on a paid plan are yours to use in branded posts. The full terms are on the licensing page.
A workflow that works
- Decide the cut points of your video first
- Ask for a beat with a drop or hit at that moment
- Generate two or three variations and test them
- Keep the winning prompt for a series
Avoid slow intros. If nothing happens in the first second, the hook is lost.

Playful 10-second jingle with whistling and claps, bright and catchy
Dramatic transition beat for an outfit change, build for 3 seconds, big drop on second 4
