W3m Suno Prompt Best Practices V1.0
# W3M Suno Prompt Best Practices (v1.0)
The W3M Prompt Framework turns creative chaos into something repeatable.
This document explains how to write prompts in Suno two main input areas and how those areas interact.
It also shows how to label song sections, when to use brackets, how weighting works, and what to prioritize in v5.
## 1. Suno two prompt areas
Lyrics and Meta tags field
Where you write lyrics, section notes, and short hints about story or structure.
Up to about 5000 characters.
Style prompt field
Where you describe sound, energy, performance, and production.
Up to about 1000 characters.
Simple rule of thumb
Lyrics tell Suno what to sing. Style tells it how to sound.
Note on limits
These limits match current docs for v4.5 and v5.
If your UI shows different numbers you may be in a limited test.
## 2. The Lyrics and Meta tags field
How Suno reads this
Suno reads everything in this box as one long piece of text.
Text inside square brackets is not sung.
The words inside those brackets are still read as clues about genre or sound.
So
- Brackets stop the model from singing those words
- The words still guide style and tone
- Putting tags at the bottom keeps things tidy for humans
