Suno prompt

A restless synth-pop track blending synth-pop with explosive energy and a swung feel at 120 BPM. The low end is electric 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, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows loop-based with dynamic drops. A lead synth leads, building through repetition. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and low-end weight, 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.
