Suno prompt

A triumphant country track with high energy and a loping feel at 107 BPM. The low end is upright bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. An electric guitar leads, building through repetition. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding low-end weight and rhythmic drive, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

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