Google Lyria 3, developed by Google DeepMind, represents the most advanced music generation model yet. 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. Running on top of Gemini's language model, the AI actually understands narrative structure and writes verses and choruses that 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 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.
Upload a photo or video and watch Gemini use the content to compose a track with lyrics that fit the mood perfectly. Lyria 3 transforms visual content into custom high-fidelity music, creating soundtracks that capture the essence and emotion of your images.
