Suno prompt

A brooding house track with explosive energy and a straight four-on-the-floor feel at 125 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a brushed snare and tight closed hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a soaring and sustained performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding rhythmic drive 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.
