Do I need to write the lyrics myself?

No. The chat asks a few questions and AI writes original lyrics from your answers, then sings them. You can steer it — mention names, moments, or lines you want in.

Can I make a lyric video for a song I already have?

You can upload a song to a Full Project, but automatic word timing currently comes from songs generated in OpenMuse. Use the guided song path here when you want every lyric timed to the vocal.

Are the words really in time with the vocal?

Yes. The song's word timings come from the generation itself, so each lyric lands as it's sung — not a subtitle track you have to align.

What if I don't have a good photo?

The look works without one — a clean palette cover stands in. You can also generate an image inside the project and use that.

Can I use the song and video commercially?

The included track is licensed for royalty-free commercial use, including monetised posts and ads. Videos carry a small OpenMuse watermark until you buy a token pack — any pack removes it for good.

How long does it take?

The chat takes about a minute, the song a minute or two more, and the render a few minutes. Start to finished video, usually under ten minutes.

You get free tokens at signup — enough to write and hear a song. Rendering the video costs tokens too; your first renders are free. Videos carry a small OpenMuse watermark until you buy a token pack — any pack removes it for good.

Use case

Make a lyric video — words on screen, sung to you

Chat for a minute and AI writes an original song. Pick one photo and it becomes the album cover the song sings over — every word lighting up in time with the vocal, like the lyric videos labels release.

Lyric videos used to be a label thing: a designer, an animator, and a finished master. Now they're how songs travel — but every online lyric-video tool assumes you already have a track and a subtitle file. OpenMuse starts earlier: describe a feeling, a person, or an occasion in a short chat and it writes and sings an original song for you. Then one photo — the birthday person, the two of you, the dog — becomes the album cover, and the words land on screen exactly as they're sung. It's a finished lyric video of a song that exists nowhere else.

Perfect for

Some moments this fits — there are more.

Birthday song

A song about them, singing over their photo — a birthday post nobody else can copy.

Anniversary or Valentine's

An original love song over a photo of you two, every word on screen.

Dedication

For a best friend, a parent, a teammate — a sung message with their face on the cover.

Your own release

Wrote a hook in the chat you actually love? Post it like a single, cover art and all.

Apology or thank-you

Some things are easier sung. The lyrics carry it; the cover makes it personal.

Baby announcement

A lullaby with the scan photo or newborn shot as the cover.

Tips for the best result

A few small things make a noticeable difference.

1
A song with words, obviously
This look sings the lyric on screen — answer "a song with words" in the chat. Instrumentals fit the abstract looks better.
2
One clear subject for the cover
A portrait or a tight couple shot reads like real cover art. Busy group photos fight the type.
3
Name names in the chat
Tell it "for Maya, who just passed her driving test" — the lyric gets specific, and specific is what makes people replay it.
4
Keep it under two minutes
A short song holds attention to the last word. You can ask the interviewer for the length you want.

How it works

1
Chat your song into being
Tell the interviewer who or what it's for, the mood, and the style. It writes original lyrics, generates the song, and lets you hear both takes before you move on.
2
Add your cover photo
Pick the photo the song should sing over. It's framed like an album cover; no photo and a clean gradient cover stands in.
3
Watch the words land
The live preview plays your song with every lyric appearing in time with the vocal. Make the video when it is ready to post or send.
