Songwriter and AI · Suno & Udio
What a songwriter brings to your song
Suno and Udio can make polished demos. If a song is for a person, an occasion or a brand, the details that make it feel right come from listening to the people involved.
- A conversation about your song
- Usage terms agreed up front
- Mix, master and stems available
The difference
The details come from your story
Suno and Udio can generate melodies, arrangements and vocals. A conversation brings in the things that make the song yours: the joke from your first date, a family nickname or the way you speak to each other.
Context and emotion
I work those details into the verse and chorus and shape the phrasing around the story.
Specific feedback
Tell me which words, stresses, hook or key you want to change. We can revise that part and listen again.
Permissions and files
We’ll agree how you can use the song. You’ll get the mix and master, with stems and shorter edits available by arrangement.
Human authorship
I write the lyrics and melody. The U.S. Copyright Office distinguishes human-authored expression from material produced from prompts alone.6
What changed in 2025 and 2026
AI music tools are changing
Platform terms, licensing and court cases matter if you plan to download or release a song made with AI.
Download restrictions
Udio says audio, video and stem downloads were disabled following its partnership with Universal Music Group. Check its help centre for the status of your account and project.1
Warner Music partnership and download plans
Suno announced its partnership with Warner Music Group in November 2025, along with plans to require a paid account for downloads and apply limits by tier.2 The announcement describes plans for the service. Check the terms and options in your account.3
Munich court decision in the GEMA case
On 31 July 2026, Munich Regional Court I largely upheld GEMA’s claims against Suno. The court’s press release said the judgment was not yet final at the time.4, 5
Human authorship matters
The U.S. Copyright Office says prompts alone do not generally provide sufficient control over generated output for protection. Rights in human contributions and the applicable jurisdiction need to be considered separately.6
What to check before releaseIf the song is for an event, a jingle or a public release, check the tool’s terms, the source material and the permissions you have. We’ll agree the usage terms for a commissioned recording before work starts.
