Rolling out in beta, the feature allows users to create 30-second original tracks simply by typing a prompt or uploading an image.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"553\">Yes, that means your \u201ccomical R&amp;B slow jam about a sock finding their match\u201d can now exist in real life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"553\">\n<p>From text to track in seconds<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"786\">With Lyria 3, users can describe a genre, mood, memory, or even an inside joke \u2014 and Gemini will transform it into a fully produced 30-second song, complete with generated lyrics if you want them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"997\">Feeling nostalgic? You could prompt: \u201cCreate a fun afrobeat track about my mother\u2019s home-cooked plantains and our childhood memories.\u201d Within seconds, you\u2019ll get a custom audio clip ready to download or share.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1078\">No lyrics? No problem. Lyria 3 generates them automatically based on your idea.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1078\">\n<p>More control, more complexity<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1197\">According to Gemini, Lyria 3 advances its previous music models in three key ways:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1362\">&#13;<\/p>\n<li data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1249\">&#13;\n<p data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1249\">Auto-generated lyrics based on your prompt<\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1312\">&#13;\n<p data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1312\">Greater creative control over style, vocals, and tempo<\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1362\">&#13;\n<p data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1362\">More realistic and musically complex tracks<\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1544\">Users can also upload photos or videos to inspire a track. For instance, share a photo of your dog on a hike, and Gemini will compose a song that matches the mood \u2014 lyrics and all.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1675\">Each 30-second track comes with custom cover art generated by <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google\/overview\/image-generation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Nano Banana<\/strong><\/a>, making it easy to share directly via download or link.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1810\">The goal isn\u2019t to produce your next chart-topping single, but to give fans a fun, expressive way to create their own mini soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1810\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/content__Prompt_Tips__Create_your_own_tracks_on_Gemini_with_Lyria_3__page-0001.webp.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"1080\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Shorts creators, take note<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"2006\">Beyond the Gemini app, Lyria 3 is also powering enhancements on<strong> YouTube<\/strong>\u2019s <strong>Dream Track<\/strong> for Shorts creators in the U.S., with expansion to other countries underway.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2189\">From lyrical verses to vibey backing tracks, creators will be able to customise soundtracks for their Shorts more precisely \u2014 levelling up the overall quality of short-form content.<\/p>\n<p>Built with guardrails<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2447\">All music generated in the Gemini app is embedded with <strong>SynthID<\/strong>, Google\u2019s imperceptible watermark that identifies AI-generated content. The app also allows users to upload audio files to check if they were created using Google AI.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2782\">Gemini says Lyria 3 was developed in collaboration with the music community, with attention to copyright and partner agreements. The tool is designed for original expression \u2014 not to replicate specific artists. If a user names an existing artist in a prompt, Gemini interprets it as broad inspiration in style or mood, not imitation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2874\">Users are also required to adhere to Gemini\u2019s Terms of Service and generative AI policies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2874\">\n<p>Who can use it?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2897\" data-end=\"3146\">Music generation with Lyria 3 is available to Gemini app users aged 18 and above in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese.
