Overview

Lyria is Google’s music generation model. Google’s September 2026 announcement describes Lyria 3.5 as its best-sounding music model, with more expressive vocals and richer arrangements. It is available in the Gemini app, Google Flow Music, Google AI Studio and Google Vids, and developers can call it through the Gemini API.

Who it fits

It suits marketers and video makers who need a backing track, brand jingle or background music without licensing a library track. In the Gemini app you pick a genre, choose vocal or instrumental, and start from templates. Google’s ProducerAI, a Labs product, also builds on Lyria for more guided songwriting.

What the plans include

Google says Lyria 3.5 is available to all Gemini app users globally, but limits depend on plan and can change. The API is billed per use; see Google’s pricing page.

Limits and alternatives

Everything is steered by prompts, so detailed arrangement control is limited, and outputs include a SynthID watermark. Suno makes full songs with vocals and has paid commercial plans, Udio offers credit plans, and Stable Audio focuses on instrumentals and sound design.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Marketers and video makers who want a custom backing track, jingle or background music from a prompt
  • Developers who want a music-generation model in the Gemini API

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • Anyone who needs fixed free limits: Google changes Gemini limits often
  • Producers who want stem-level or DAW-style control
