Custom Mode: Lyrics, Structure Tags, and Genres
Simple mode is fast; custom mode is where you take control. Here you supply your own lyrics and use structure tags to tell the model how the song is arranged. The result is far more intentional than a single text description can produce.
Structure tags shape the song

Supply your own words. Do not paste in lyrics from existing copyrighted songs to clone them. Write fresh lines, or have a model draft original ones, then use structure tags to arrange the piece.
Pair your lyrics with a precise style description: genre, tempo feel, instrumentation, vocal type. The combination of clear structure and a clear style brief is what gets you from a random clip to something close to what you imagined.
