chirp-v5 is a Suno V5 music creation model, suitable for turning theme descriptions or existing lyrics into songs, as well as for instrumental music creation. It offers both inspiration and custom modes, allowing creators to separately control lyrics, titles, and musical styles, while exploring different expressions through vocal preferences, style influence, and experimental adjustments. Suitable for song drafts, content soundtracks, and existing V5 creation workflows.

Inspiration mode is suited to starting a creation when lyrics have not yet been written. Use a piece of text to describe the song's theme, genre, and mood, then choose whether to generate instrumental music to begin exploring musical directions. It is recommended to focus the main intent in the prompt, such as summer travel, upbeat pop, and a warm atmosphere, and avoid stacking contradictory requirements.
Custom mode lets lyrics, title, and style each serve their own purpose: lyrics organize narrative and sections, while style describes genre, instruments, and sonic feel. Existing copy can be entered directly as lyrics; when you only have a writing direction, you can use lyric_prompt to guide lyric creation. More ample text space is suitable for expressing multiple verses, choruses, and bridges.
chirp-v5 lets you set male or female vocal preferences and adjust style influence and weirdness in custom mode. The former guides how closely the style is followed, while the latter explores more experimental expression. In actual creation, it is best to keep the same lyrics, adjust control values one by one, and then listen, avoiding changing all conditions at once and making the results difficult to evaluate.
Start with specific tasks to find where the model can make an impact.
Enter existing lyrics, a song title, and the target style into custom mode to create song demos for listening and discussion. For example, try folk and electronic pop around the same chorus, then compare lyrical delivery and overall mood. When delivering, save the audio and song ID so the team can record selection results and subsequent creative directions.
Describe the required mood and genre for travel videos, show intros, or podcast transitions, choose instrumental creation, and obtain audio ready for listening during editing. If you have a target length, you can set the desired duration in custom generation; the final result should still be trimmed and transitions arranged according to the actual audio, rather than treating the requested length as an exact timeline.
When an existing song needs remastering options, V5's remaster workflow requires selecting variation_category, and you can use high, normal, or subtle to indicate the degree of change. Keep the original track and listen to each remastered result, comparing which changes suit the project; deliver candidate audio and change-level records rather than replacing the original version by default.
Choose based on task complexity, input materials, and expected results.
Compared with chirp-v4, chirp-v5 expands custom lyric input from 3000 characters to 5000 characters, and style descriptions from 200 characters to 1000 characters, making it better suited for projects with longer lyrics or those requiring detailed arrangement intent. If you already have a V4.5 or V4.5+ workflow, text limits are not unique advantages of V5; decide whether to switch based on actual listening tests.
chirp-v5 and chirp-v5-5 are different model types for invocation and should not be treated as the same version simply because their names are similar. If you already have V5 works and parameter templates, you can continue using V5 to manage creation; when preparing to try V5.5, it is recommended to use the same lyrics and style for comparative listening. Their lyric and style input limits are the same, so audio quality should not be judged solely by these numbers.

Answers to common questions about using chirp-v5.
When you only have a theme and musical direction, use the default Inspiration Mode and fill in the prompt; when you already have lyrics, set custom=true and provide lyric, title, and style separately. If no lyrics are provided in Custom Mode, you can also use lyric_prompt to describe the lyrics you want to create.
You can use the instrumental creation method. Set instrumental in Inspiration Mode, and use the prompt to describe the genre, mood, and desired instrument sound. When using it for videos or podcasts, it is recommended to first preview whether the music suits the visuals and narration, then edit and arrange it according to the actual finished length.
No. Custom generation accepts integer desired values from 10—360 seconds, but this value is only a creative preference, not a hard length constraint. Refer to the returned duration and actual playback content; if your project requires an exact length, allow time for selecting tracks and audio editing.
When using remaster, V5 requires variation_category, with options high, normal, and subtle. It is used to select the degree of remaster variation and is not equivalent to a generation diversity parameter. It is recommended to keep the original audio and compare results from different levels before deciding which version to use.
Submit a request to POST /suno/audios and specify model=chirp-v5. Set async=true to first obtain task_id, then query the task result; you can also provide callback_url to receive callbacks. After completion, read the song status, audio_url, and actual duration, and save the required audio.
