  1. Finish the step above first
    01

    Open your song

    Time to finish what you started. Head to Suno and open the song you made.

    Play it once, all the way through. Really listen.

    Now, in one or two words, what genre is it? (Genre = the style of music, like pop, trap, or lo-fi.)

    Open Suno (new tab)

    02

    Name the feeling

    Every great song makes you feel something.

    Close your eyes and play it in your head. What is the mood?

    Pick one strong word - like dreamy, angry, hopeful, spooky, or hyped.

  3. Finish the step above first
    03

    Name your track

    A song needs a name. This is the title people see and remember.

    Keep it short and cool. Two or three words is plenty.

    Type your track name. You can change it later, but pick one now.

  4. Finish the step above first
    04

    See the scene

    Close your eyes and picture your song like a movie shot.

    Where are you? What is happening? A neon city at night? A field at sunrise? A messy bedroom?

    Describe that one scene in a few words.

  5. Finish the step above first
    05

    Pick the decade

    Era is the secret weapon. A cover from the 1970s looks nothing like one from 2020.

    This one choice changes the whole vibe - the colors, the style, everything.

    Pick a decade for your cover's look, like 1980s, 1990s, or 2020s.

  6. Finish the step above first
    06

    Choose your colors

    Colors set the mood before anyone hits play.

    Warm colors (red, orange) feel hot and loud. Cool colors (blue, green) feel calm or sad.

    Pick two or three colors that match your song.

  7. Finish the step above first
    07

    Pick the main thing

    Every cover has one thing your eye lands on first. That is the subject.

    It could be a person, an animal, an object, or something wild and made-up.

    What is the one main thing on your cover?

  8. Finish the step above first

    Brainstorm covers with an AI art director

    Now get help from a pro. This prompt turns the AI into an award-winning cover artist.

    Copy it, open ChatGPT, and paste it in. It already knows your genre, mood, and colors.

    Read the 3 ideas it gives you. Then type your favorite one in a few words.

    Open ChatGPT (new tab)
    You are an award-winning album cover art director. I made a [genre] song that feels [mood]. Give me 3 bold, different cover concepts. For each one, name the main image, one strong idea using these colors: [colors], and how it fits a [era] look and this scene: [scene]. My main subject idea is [subject]. Keep each concept to 2 short lines, plain and vivid. Then tell me which concept is strongest and why.

    Build your cover prompt

    Here comes the magic. We just turned all your answers into one clean image prompt.

    This is a real cover-art prompt, built the way a pro would write it.

    Hit copy. You will paste it into the image AI next.

    Do the steps above and your Your cover-art prompt shows up here.

    Make your cover art

    Open ChatGPT and paste the prompt you just copied.

    Ask it to make the image. If it looks off, change one thing - a color or the scene - and try again. That is what real artists do.

    When you have a cover you like, type how it turned out in one line.

    what will really happen

    Image AI often bakes in garbled text even when you tell it not to.

    It mangles hands, faces, and small details - look closely.

    The first image is a rough draft; expect to redo it a few times.

    Open ChatGPT (new tab)

    Did you regenerate to fix what looked off, or keep the first image?

    Save your release card

    Your song has a name and a face now. That is a real release.

    Save your card below - it shows off your track like a mini poster.

    Tip: back in Suno, download your song too (the ... menu, then Download) so you can send the real audio.

    hold on - judge it, do not celebrate
    • Is this the cover you pictured, or just the first one it made?
    • What is the ONE thing that looks generic or wrong?
    • What would you change to make it clearly YOUR song's cover?

    Ship it to the world

    Nothing is real until you share it. This is the part most people skip - not you.

    Post your cover and song on the class wall, and tag it #Glunty so everyone can find it.

    Type the name of one person you are sending it to first.

The class wall - share yours

YOU SHIPPED IT

You did not just make a song - you finished it, gave it a cover, and put your name on it. That is a real release, and it is one hundred percent yours.
