# Prompt Guidelines

> Learn how to write effective prompts and lyrics for the best WAV results.

To get the best results, follow these guidelines:

* Keep prompts descriptive and simple.
* **Prompt limit:** 300 characters.
* **Lyrics limit:** 3000 characters.
* You can describe song sections like this:
  * `[Intro – soft piano and light synths]`
  * `[Chorus – repeat with more intensity]`
  * `[Bridge – add soft strings or a subtle beat drop]`
* **Do not include any artist names.**

## Best Practice

* **If you provide `lyrics`:** Use `music_style` to describe the genre, mood, or musical style, and leave `prompt` empty.
* **If `lyrics` is empty:** Use `prompt` to describe the complete song, and leave `music_style` empty.
* **Content Moderation** : All requests are internally analyzed for content safety and policy compliance before generation. Please avoid using **NSFW content, hate speech, violence, self-harm, or copyrighted references**.
