StepAudio 3 Music
Get the song clear in your head, then hear it sung.
StepAudio 3 Music pairs an MoE architecture with an AR + DiT generation paradigm and uses ABC-COT to plan a song’s structure, sections, and arrangement before it generates. It controls style, vocals, emotion, instrumentation, key, and tempo from your creative intent, so the result is a complete song that stays true to your description.
1. Your description
Style, vocals, timbre, emotion, instruments, key, tempo — plain language is enough
2. Structure & arrangement
Set the section flow and instrument roles first, then generate
3. Vocals & mixing
Vocals and backing follow the plan, with sections that flow naturally
4. A complete song
A finished piece you can play and download — not a fragment

Chorus 1, wider and warmYou smiled instead of asking for a due

Chorus 1, wider and warmAll my worry melted in the sun alone
Chorus 1, wider and warmA small mistake that could've turned into a fight
Chorus 1, wider and warmYou gave me grace that still glows in the light
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicI was just a kid running wild down the street
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicTripped and sent your favorite planter to its feet
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicMy heart was pounding, I thought I'd done wrong
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicI hung my head and waited for the words of blame
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicBut you just knelt down and brushed the shards away
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicSaid, "Some things break, but that's alright"
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicThen took my shaking hand and held it tight
Verse 2, intimate and nostalgicAnd somehow all the fear just slipped away
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingI still recall that golden afternoon
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingYou smiled instead of asking for a due
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingBroken clay across your garden stone
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingAll my worry melted in the sun alone
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingA small mistake that could've turned into a fight
Chorus 2, wider and gently upliftingYou gave me grace that still glows in the light
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingYears have passed, but I still hear your voice
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingIn every moment kindness asks for choice
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingMaybe growing up is learning how to see
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingThe ones who gave us room to just be
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingAnd when I find somebody lost and scared
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingWith shaking hands and something broken there
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingI hope the way I hold them in that light
Bridge, reflective and gently upliftingFeels a little like that golden afternoon
Outro, soft and nostalgicConcrete still warm under my scuffed-up shoes
Outro, soft and nostalgicCloudless blue stretching over the roofs
Outro, soft and nostalgicThe city hums a lazy half-beat down below
Outro, soft and nostalgicAnd I finally understand what you showed
Outro, soft and nostalgicSome things break and some things fade away
Outro, soft and nostalgicBut kindness finds a way to stay
Outro, soft and nostalgicI leave the overpass and walk into the light
Outro, soft and nostalgicCarrying that golden afternoon tonight

Verse 1, restrained and inwardCoin slot clicks, fluorescent hum
Verse 1, restrained and inwardMy birthday shirt’s still covered in rum
Verse 1, restrained and inwardFrom the office party last night
Verse 1, restrained and inwardI’m folding slow, out of time and light
Pre-ChorusYou pushed the door, the bell above it rang
Pre-ChorusSmiled and said you had an empty hang
Pre-ChorusFor the dryer next to mine
Pre-ChorusI froze up, almost dropped the line
Chorus 1Dirty socks and worn out jeans
Chorus 1You folded mine like it was a dream
Chorus 1Birthday wish I didn’t dare to say
Chorus 1You’re already giving it away
BridgeI don’t have cake, I don’t have champagne
BridgeJust this small room, and your easy rain
BridgeOf kindness I don’t know how to repay
BridgeJust a quiet heart that’s starting to sway
Chorus 2Stained tee and faded sheets
Chorus 2You smoothed the creases like you know my needs
Chorus 2This little moment’s all I’ll ever need
Chorus 2More than any candle on any birthday
Ad-libMm, happy birthday to me
Ad-libYeah...

Verse 1油纸伞斜过墙沿
Verse 1艾草香漫过巷口
Verse 1寒食的风慢半拍
Chorus 1转拐角那瞬的对视
Chorus 1像时间突然打了个颤
Chorus 1我看见年轻的眉眼
Chorus 1和旧照片里的春衫
Verse 2她指尖沾着草叶绿
Verse 2发梢别着白木兰
Verse 2眼神清亮像我昨夜
Verse 2刚翻完的旧相册边
Chorus 2隔着半米的烟雨天
Chorus 2岁月突然递来书签
Chorus 2我没敢上前说什么
Chorus 2怕碰碎这片刻的缘
Bridge风停了三秒的瞬间
Bridge宿命轻轻绕我肩
Bridge原来我寻了半生的暖
Bridge早站在很多年前
Chorus 3青砖缝里长出新藓
Chorus 3她转身往雾里走远
Chorus 3我攥紧手里的清明果
Chorus 3把这份软埋在心间

Chorus 1你背影没收 黄昏的温柔
Chorus 1风把余温都吹成 冷的褶皱
Chorus 1我在河堤这头 把沉默当朋友
Chorus 1以为藏得住 却湿透 了眼眸
Verse 1芦苇在摇 像那年 你握我的手
Verse 1夕阳只肯借 半分钟 停在我肩头
Verse 1有些话卡在 最轻 的呼吸里头
Verse 1说出来了 是不是 就能算旧
Chorus 2你背影没收 黄昏的温柔
Chorus 2风把余温都吹成 冷的褶皱
Chorus 2我在河堤这头 把沉默当朋友
Chorus 2以为藏得住 却湿透 了眼眸
Verse 2晚风推着我 往回忆里走
Verse 2那些没说出口 现在更说不出口
Verse 2原来想念是 一种 戒不掉的酒
Verse 2你背影越淡 我心越满 越难受
Bridge如果再见 不过是 擦肩的时差
Bridge如果告别 早被时间 悄悄风化
Bridge我为何还站在 原地说着 无人听的话
Bridge像一座 退潮后 搁浅的沙
Outro天快黑了 影子 被河水流走
Outro我也该走了 带着 满口袋的愁
Outro只是这河堤 太像 记忆的漏斗
Outro漏掉了快乐 漏不掉 你回眸

Verse 1头盔还带着午后的灰
Verse 1外套有风一路在吹
Verse 1法院门前人来人往
Verse 1我站得比影子还累
Pre-Chorus我本来准备了千万句
Pre-Chorus准备和命运争个错对
Pre-Chorus可看见你低下眼睛
Pre-Chorus忽然只剩一声算了,别追
Chorus 1就在法庭外的风里
Chorus 1我把执念慢慢放回
Chorus 1不再问谁欠谁一生
Chorus 1不再让旧伤反复来催
Verse 2这些年我穿过大街小巷
Verse 2红灯绿灯都像轮回
Verse 2凌晨的桥,深夜的胃
Verse 2都比一句再见更锋锐
Pre-Chorus原来最难不是说分开
Pre-Chorus是承认我们都尽过力对
Pre-Chorus你抬头那一刻的沉默
Pre-Chorus让我听见心里冰雪在退
Chorus 2就在法庭外的风里
Chorus 2我把执念慢慢放回
Chorus 2不再问谁欠谁一生
Chorus 2不再让旧伤反复来催

Verse 1又是这种雨天 走廊弥漫消毒水的咸
Verse 1白色墙壁 映着记忆里那张疲惫的脸
Verse 1消毒液的味道 曾让你眉头紧锁了一年
Verse 1我守在阴影里 算着时间 却看不见终点
Chorus 1你推开沉重的玻璃门 没再回头看一眼
Chorus 1在那一秒 我看见光落在你眉宇之间
Chorus 1那是重获自由的轻松 像风挣脱了锁链
Chorus 1虽然错过 但我为你此刻的笑而庆幸满点
Verse 2雨刷在摆动 节奏像我们在重新律动
Verse 2那些沉重的吊瓶 终于都消失在半空
Verse 2你踏进雨帘 步履轻盈得像是一场梦
Verse 2我站在门后 所有的遗憾都变得很轻很从容
Chorus 2你推开沉重的玻璃门 没再回头看一眼
Chorus 2在那一秒 我看见光落在你眉宇之间
Chorus 2那是重获自由的轻松 像风挣脱了锁链
Chorus 2虽然错过 但我为你此刻的笑而庆幸满点
Bridge原来放手也是一种成全 不必非要并肩
Bridge看着你奔向广阔世界 我也学会了告别
Bridge这走廊的冷清 终将被新的一天溶解
Bridge你眼里的光 是我见过最美的季节
Coda自由地走吧 别再回这阴影里面
Coda雨后的世界 才是你应有的蓝天
Coda玻璃门合上 故事在那一刻完结
