Google Lyria 3 is a music generation model developed by Google DeepMind. Launched in beta on February 18, 2026, and integrated into the Gemini app, Lyria 3 empowers anyone to create 30-second high-fidelity tracks using text prompts or images; Lyria 3 Pro, added on March 25, 2026, extends this to full songs of up to about three minutes. Lyria 3 understands musical structure, so its verses and choruses work together cohesively.
Lyria 3 improves on previous Lyria models in three critical ways: automatic lyrics generation eliminates the need to provide your own lyrics, enhanced creative control over style, vocals, and tempo gives you precise direction over your sound, and improved audio quality produces more realistic and musically complex tracks. The model supports 8 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese) and spans genres from pop to funk to Motown. All generated tracks are embedded with SynthID, Google's imperceptible watermark for identifying AI-generated content, and in the Gemini app they come with custom cover art generated by Nano Banana.
Describe a specific genre, mood, inside joke, or memory to create unique tracks with lyrics or instrumental audio that fits your vibe. Simply type what you want to hear, and Lyria 3 will compose it for you with automatic lyrics, vocals, and instrumentals perfectly matched to your description.
Add a photo and Lyria 3 uses its mood and setting to compose a matching track with lyrics, creating a soundtrack that captures the essence and emotion of your image. (In the Gemini app you can also start from a video.)
No need to write your own lyrics! Lyria 3 automatically generates lyrics based on your prompt that perfectly match the music's mood, genre, and narrative structure. The AI understands storytelling and creates verses and choruses that work together cohesively.

Define realistic vocal styles and direct the details to find the sound you're looking for. Compose with freedom and technical control over vocal characteristics, from smooth R&B to energetic pop, ensuring your track sounds exactly how you envision it.
Generate 30-second clips with Lyria 3 Clip — the perfect length for social media content, YouTube Shorts, quick expressions, and sharing with friends — or full songs of up to about three minutes with Lyria 3 Pro. Each track flows naturally from start to finish with cohesive musical structure.
All tracks are embedded with SynthID, Google's imperceptible watermark for identifying AI-generated content. Ensures transparency and allows verification of whether music was created using Google AI, supporting responsible AI usage.
