The lyrics
[Verse] You stayed after class when the numbers wouldn't fit Drew it on the board until I finally got it Red pen in your hand and a coffee gone cold You saw something in me before I was told [Chorus] Thank you, Ms. Carter For every second chance You made the hardest days Feel like I could stand Thank you, Ms. Carter I'm singing it out loud Wherever I go next I hope I make you proud [Verse] Now there's a cap and a gown and my name on the list And a seat in the front that I almost missed I can still hear you say it, "one step at a time" So this one is yours, every word, every line [Chorus] Thank you, Ms. Carter For every second chance You made the hardest days Feel like I could stand Thank you, Ms. Carter I'm singing it out loud Wherever I go next I hope I make you proud

How should I lay out the lyrics?
- Put [Verse], [Chorus] and [Bridge] on their own lines, each above its part, as in the sample below: verse, chorus, verse, chorus.
- Keep lines short, about 6 to 10 syllables, so each one fits a line of melody.
- Write a chorus you would want to hear three times: it’s the part that comes back.
- The length follows the words: the sample below, two verses and two choruses, runs 1:38. Up to 3,000 characters fit.
- Spell names and unusual words the way they sound: the singer reads letters, not meaning.
Will it sing my words exactly as written?
It sings your words in your order; the melody and the music are the AI’s, so you choose the voice and the sound, not the notes. In the thank-you song below, pasted as written, a speech recognizer matched 99% of the words in the version we kept and 94% in the other.
The two versions are sung differently. If one swallows a word or rushes a line, keep the other.
I wrote my lyrics with ChatGPT. Can I use them?
Yes, as long as they are new words and not lines from an existing song. Ask ChatGPT for the layout the singer needs, then paste its answer here as it is. For example:
“Write lyrics for a two-minute song for [who it’s for and why]. Label the parts [Verse 1], [Chorus], [Verse 2], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Chorus]. Keep lines under 10 syllables and put their name in the chorus.”
ChatGPT gives you the words as text; pasted here, they become a song you can play and send.
What does it cost to turn lyrics into a song?
Making the song and hearing the first 60 seconds of both versions costs nothing (2 free previews a day). Keeping it is $4.99, paid once, with no subscription and no account needed: both versions then play in full and download as MP3, and your lyrics stay with them in My songs. For several songs, a credit pack costs less per song.
Can I fix a line after the song is made?
Not inside the finished song. Edit the words, paste them again and make a new song; the first one stays in My songs. Read the lyrics through before you make it: what you paste is exactly what gets sung.
Can it sing the lyrics of a song I didn’t write?
Paste only words you wrote or have the right to use; you confirm that before each song. A style that names an artist is turned down, and nobody’s voice is cloned: you choose a female or male voice and describe the sound.
