Google Lyria
What Google Lyria is
Google Lyria is a paid music-generation service available through the web and an API, with no free plan. It creates music from prompts, including instrumental arrangements, lyrics and sung vocals across many genres and styles. Lyria 3.5 accepts text or images, writes lyrics in the prompt’s language, and adapts vocal style and pronunciation to that language. Lyria 3 Clip produces 30-second MP3 clips for loops, previews and other short uses. Lyria 3.5 creates MP3 songs lasting a couple of minutes, with duration influenced by the prompt. The API outputs high-fidelity 44.1 kHz stereo audio. Google distributes Lyria 3.5 through Google Flow Music and says downstream providers may access the models through an API under applicable terms. Generated audio carries an imperceptible SynthID watermark. Safety filters block requests such as specific artist voices or copyrighted lyrics. Generation is single-turn, so clips cannot be refined through follow-up prompts, and repeated calls may differ.
