Suno prompt

A restless synth-pop track blending disco with high energy and a syncopated feel at 128 BPM. The low end is analog synth bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a clap-layered snare and shimmering open hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Subtle bitcrush 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 lush ninth and eleventh 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.
