Quick sample prompts you can copy and adapt (full walkthroughs are in the articles above):

English detail-driven heartbreak

Write English heartbreak lyrics, structure: Verse 1 / Pre-Chorus / Chorus / Verse 2 / Bridge / Final Chorus. Theme: a year after breakup, still finding traces of them in the apartment. Each verse must contain one concrete object (toothbrush, hoodie, hair tie, etc.) and one specific action. Avoid "broken heart" and similar generic phrases. Quiet, mature tone.

Chinese letting-go

写一首中文失恋释怀主题歌词，结构：主歌 1 / 副歌 / 主歌 2 / 副歌 / Bridge / 副歌。规则：不出现"心碎 / 想你 / 回不去"这类直白情绪词；每段含 1 个具体物件（钥匙 / 牙刷 / 旧短信）+ 1 个具体动作；情绪是"安静的成熟"，不是控诉；押 i / in 韵。

Missing but not reaching out

Write a mid-tempo English heartbreak lyric, the singer is missing their ex on a quiet Sunday but does not reach out. Verse 1 / Chorus / Verse 2 / Bridge / Final Chorus. Use 2nd-person address ("you") but never explain why; show context through actions only. End on ambiguity, not resolution.
