The Tunely Blog
Guides and tips on making music with AI — writing songs, making beats, and getting better results.
Guides to making songs with AI, written by the team that builds Tunely. They cover writing your own lyrics, songs for one particular person, genres and beats, singing in other languages, working with audio you already have, and what you may do with the result.
The newest posts are tests: we ran real generations, kept the audio and printed the exact brief, so you can hear what the numbers describe. The older ones are shorter how-tos with a description you can copy. Pick a group by what you are trying to do; the three newest posts come first.

A song for a person or an occasion
Start with the birthday post built on four months of real briefs: when a brief named the person, the name was sung five to six times on average, and in two songs out of three it landed in the chorus. The wedding, anniversary, proposal and lullaby guides lean on the same idea: two or three details only that person would recognise do more than any adjective.

Songs in other languages
Paste the lyrics in the language you want sung. In Simple mode, say which language, or the words usually come back in English. The three-language test re-sang one song in Mandarin and Spanish: the key, the pulse and the section order held, and only the phrasing moved to fit the new syllables.

Audio you already have
Adding vocals to your own beat gives you a new performance at the same tempo, not your file with a voice laid on top; the test shows the two-step route for when the original has to survive. For singing-photo videos, the finding that matters most is to drive the mouth with the isolated voice: in our test it moved the mouth-to-voice sync score from 0.04 to 0.39.

Rights, platforms and cost
The short answer: on Pro or Ultra every song in your library is licensed for commercial use, songs first made on the free plan included, and each comes with a certificate. The Content ID post explains why an original AI song rarely gets claimed and the four usual causes when it does; the free-plan post lists what free includes and what it does not.

Choosing a tool, and how it works
Two of the comparisons were re-checked on 10 September 2026 and quote each competitor's own pricing page with that date. “Can AI write a song?” explains how generation works and where it still falls short. The synced-lyrics post shows how each karaoke line is timed to the singer: on 1,198 sung words in our own songs, every word now lights its own line.
