Generate full-length songs using Google's Lyria 3.5 model.
Lyria 3.5 is Google's most capable music generation model, producing complete, structured songs up to a few minutes long from text or image prompts. It includes advanced controls for fully timed lyrics, precise tempo, and complex arrangement structure.
For best results, prompts should include:
The model outputs:
Safety filters prevent generation of content mimicking real artists' voices.
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientThe @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Install the new package and update your imports — see client setup.
Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("google/lyria-3.5", {
input: {
prompt: "An uplifting pop song with driving electric guitar, energetic drums, and a catchy chorus singing 'Rise up and shine today'. 120 BPM. Two minutes long with a verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure."
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.
The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("google/lyria-3.5", {
input: {
prompt: "An uplifting pop song with driving electric guitar, energetic drums, and a catchy chorus singing 'Rise up and shine today'. 120 BPM. Two minutes long with a verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure."
},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("google/lyria-3.5", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("google/lyria-3.5", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).
Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
prompt string* requiredThe text prompt describing the music you want to generate. Include genre, mood, instrumentation, tempo, vocals, and structure for best results. Lyria 3.5 supports full-length songs up to a few minutes — use timestamps or duration hints in your prompt to control song length, e.g. 'a 2-minute track' or section markers like '[0:00-0:30] Intro: ...' / '[0:30-1:00] Verse: ...'. Supports English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese.
image_url stringOptional image URL to use as visual inspiration for music generation. The model will create music that matches the mood and theme of the image.
enable_safety_checker booleanAuthorized callers may set false to request relaxed screening. Default value: true
