Suno prompt

A euphoric disco track with explosive energy and a straight four-on-the-floor feel at 128 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing driving eighth notes, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and tight closed hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
