Suno Meta Tags & Structure Tags Explained

Structure tags like [Verse] and [Chorus] tell AI music models how to shape a song. This page lists the tags that work reliably in Suno-compatible tools (and similar lyric fields in Udio). Not affiliated with Suno, Inc.

What are meta / structure tags?

They are bracketed labels inside the lyrics field. The model treats them as section markers — not as sung words. Pair them with a clear style prompt (genre, mood, instruments, BPM, vocals).

Tag reference

Tag	What it does
`[Intro]`	Opening section before the first verse — often instrumental or a short vocal hook.
`[Verse]`	Main storytelling section. Use [Verse 1], [Verse 2] when you want distinct lyrics.
`[Pre-Chorus]`	Lift into the chorus; raise energy or tension.
`[Chorus]`	The hook / most memorable section. Repeat for recognition.
`[Post-Chorus]`	Short tag after the chorus (chant, ad-lib, instrumental hook).
`[Bridge]`	Contrast section — new chords, perspective, or energy drop/rise.
`[Breakdown]`	Stripped or heavier rhythmic section (common in EDM/metal).
`[Drop]`	EDM climax after a build — bass/lead hit.
`[Build]`	Rising tension into a drop or chorus.
`[Hook]`	Rap/hip-hop catchy refrain (similar role to chorus).
`[Rap Verse]`	Spoken/rap section inside a sung song (useful for K-pop hybrids).
`[Solo]`	Instrumental feature (guitar, sax, synth).
`[Outro]`	Ending section; fade or final statement.
`[Final Chorus]`	Last chorus — often bigger/higher energy.
`[Instrumental]`	No vocals for this section.

How to write better tagged lyrics

Put style cues in the style field — keep tags + lyrics in the lyrics field.
Repeat [Chorus] so the hook returns.
Use one contrast section ([Bridge] or [Breakdown]).
For EDM, prefer [Build] / [Drop] over verse/chorus.
