Suno prompt

A euphoric disco track blending synth-pop with explosive energy and a swung feel at 136 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and shimmering open hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A lead synth 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 melodic lead and low-end weight, 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.
