Suno prompt
A restless synth-pop track blending disco with explosive energy and a swung feel at 130 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a clap-layered snare and shimmering open hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a euphoric and open atmosphere.
Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
