ByteDance‘s AI assistant, Doubao, has launched a new music generation feature, allowing users to create personalized music tracks with just a few inputs.
With this new feature, users can enter a theme or lyrics in the “Music Generation” section of Doubao, select the music style, mood, and vocal type, and quickly generate a song lasting about one minute. The platform offers 11 music genres, including folk, hip-hop, and R&B, as well as niche styles like jazz, reggae, and electronic. Users can choose either male or female vocals, and the AI-generated music excels in both clarity and fluidity of lyrics. To better align with users’ emotional expressions, Doubao also provides pre-set mood options such as happiness and sadness.
For example, after a bike ride, a user could enter a description like “riding alone at sunset, seeing the orange sun in the distance,” choose the “R&B” style and “romantic” mood, and Doubao would automatically generate music and lyrics to match, along with a custom song cover based on the lyrics. The finished track can be easily shared on social platforms like TikTok.
Currently, Doubao’s generated music is limited to a maximum of one minute and 200 characters in lyrics. A Doubao representative mentioned that while the music generation feature is still in its early stages and has room for improvement, the goal is to inspire more people to express their emotions and share their stories through music.
