What does this tool do?

LYRICS TO MELODY
Generate a Melody for Your Lyrics
Already have the words but not the tune?
You'll get a vocal melody you can preview, regenerate, and download as MIDI.
Turn Your Lyrics Into a Melody
Paste your lyrics, tell us the language they're written in, and choose a direction for the melody's feel.
Required
One note is roughly written per syllable, so the melody's length follows how much you paste.
English
How Should the Melody Feel?
Give the melody a direction, or leave anything on Auto.
Optional — describe the feeling in normal words. You don't need to write a technical music prompt.
You'll get a vocal melody you can preview, regenerate, and download as MIDI.
This creates a vocal melody only -- not a finished song and not a sung vocal performance.
A Melody, Not a Finished Song
This tool writes one note per syllable of your lyrics, following the phrasing and length of your lines -- not a full arrangement, and not a sung performance.
You'll get back a MIDI melody: something you can preview, hum along to, or bring into your own production.
Shaped Around Your Lyrics
The melody's length and pacing follow your lyrics' syllables and line breaks, so the phrasing has somewhere to breathe instead of being stretched to fill a fixed duration.
There's More Than One Melody for Any Lyric
This is one possible melody for your lyrics, not the only correct one.
Try another melody for a different musical idea with the same lyrics and direction, or change the direction for a different style, mood, or pace.
From Lyrics to Melody in 3 Steps
1. Add Your Lyrics

3. Create Melody
Preview the melody, download it as MIDI, or try another one.
What This Doesn't Do
This doesn't generate a full song, a vocal performance, or a finished, mixed track.
It gives you a singable melody built from your lyrics -- a starting point you can preview, download, or turn into a sung vocal in a separate step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as generating a full song?
No. This creates a melody only -- no instrumentation, no vocal performance, no finished mix. If you want a complete song, use the full song generation tools instead.
What do I get, and what can I do with it?
You get a MIDI file: the melody as notes and timing, not audio. You can preview it in your browser, download it, or import it into a DAW or notation app.
Which languages are supported for lyrics?
The current lyric-aware melody workflow supports English lyrics.
How much does this cost?
Creating a melody uses the same composition credits as other melody tools on this site. The cost is shown next to the create button before you generate.
Can I get a different melody for the same lyrics?
Yes. Try Another Melody keeps your lyrics and direction the same and generates a new melodic idea. Change Direction keeps your lyrics but lets you pick a different style, mood, or pace.
Can I change the lyrics after generating a melody?
Yes. Edit Lyrics brings you back to the form with your lyrics already filled in, ready to change.
What if the melody feels too busy or crowded for my lyrics?
This can happen with some lyric and direction combinations. If it does, the result page will let you know and you can try another melody -- the melody is still yours to preview and download either way.
Can I hear this melody actually sung?
Yes. From the result page, use Turn This Melody Into a Vocal to bring your melody and lyrics into a singing-vocal workflow. That's a separate generation step with its own cost.
Can I use this melody in my own music?
The MIDI melody is yours to use as a starting point in your own production, the same as other melody exports on this site.
