Suno prompt

A euphoric synth-pop track with explosive energy and a syncopated feel at 158 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Plucked synth carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a rhythmic and percussive performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a dense and compressed style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on simple triad 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.
