The wedding season runs right after Diwali, and every sangeet has the same problem: the family wants a performance that is about this couple, not the same film songs every other function uses. A song with the bride and groom’s names in the chorus, the story of how they met in the verses, and a beat the cousins can actually dance to is exactly what AI is good at making quickly.
This guide covers the structure that works, sample lyrics in Hindi and Punjabi, prompts for each part of the wedding, and practical tips for using the song on the day.
A structure that works for a sangeet song
Two to three minutes is the right length for a group dance, and songs on the free plan and Pro can be up to 3 minutes. This shape fits that length well:
- [Intro] A short call-out with both names, such as “रिया और अर्जुन की शादी है!”
- [Verse 1] How they met: college, office, a family introduction, a dating app, a wrong number.
- [Chorus] Both names plus one simple, repeatable line. This is what everyone will sing.
- [Verse 2] Family teasing: the groom who is always late, the bride’s shopping list, the in-laws.
- [Bridge] A softer blessing from the parents or grandparents.
- [Chorus] Back to the names, with the whole family singing.
Getting the names right
Names are the whole point, so give them the best chance:
- Write the names in the song’s script: “रिया” and “अर्जुन” in a Hindi song, “ਸਿਮਰਨ” and “ਕਰਨ” in a Punjabi one. Latin letters inside Devanagari or Gurmukhi are where names go wrong.
- Put the names on strong spots: the end of a line, or the first beat of the chorus.
- Use the names the family uses. If everyone calls him “Bunty”, the chorus should too.
- For an unusual name, spell it the way it sounds if the official spelling could be read two ways.
- Use Zori5.5 XL, the more natural voice. On the free plan it is available when you write your own lyrics (15 credits).
Sample lyrics: Hindi
Replace the names and the story with your own. Try it with “Bollywood sangeet dance song, male and female duet, dhol, shehnai and synth bass, festive, 120 BPM”:
- [Verse] रिया और अर्जुन की जोड़ी, जैसे चाँद और चाँदनी
- कॉलेज की कैंटीन से शुरू हुई ये कहानी
- [Chorus] आज सजी है महफ़िल, नाचो सारे यार
- रिया-अर्जुन के नाम है ये सारा प्यार
Sample lyrics: Punjabi (Gurmukhi)
Try it with “Punjabi bhangra sangeet song, dhol, tumbi and algoze, energetic male vocal with female chorus, 124 BPM”:
- [Verse] ਅੱਜ ਸਾਡੇ ਵਿਹੜੇ ਵੱਜਦੇ ਢੋਲ ਨੇ
- ਸਿਮਰਨ ਤੇ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਜੋੜੀ ਬੜੀ ਸੋਹਣੀ ਏ
- [Chorus] ਨੱਚੋ ਸਾਰੇ ਰਲ ਕੇ, ਅੱਜ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਦੀ ਰਾਤ ਏ
Prompts for each part of the wedding
- Sangeet group dance: “Bollywood wedding dance song, duet, dhol and brass, big chorus, 122 BPM”
- Punjabi sangeet: “Punjabi bhangra, dhol and tumbi, boliyan-style call and response, 126 BPM”
- Mehendi: “Hindi folk mehendi song, women’s chorus, dholak and claps, playful, 100 BPM”
- Haldi: “fun Hinglish haldi song, bouncy beat, claps and whistles, cheeky male and female vocals, 112 BPM”
- Bride’s entry: “romantic Hindi entry song, soft female vocal, strings, piano and shehnai, builds slowly, 78 BPM”
- Groom’s baraat: “high-energy baraat song, brass band and dhol, male vocal, 128 BPM”
- Wedding film: “cinematic Hindi love song, male vocal, piano, strings and flute, emotional, 84 BPM”
Practical tips for the day
Fix the tempo before choreography starts. Once the dancers have learned the steps, changing the song is painful, so make two or three versions early, choose one, and do not regenerate after rehearsals begin.
If one word is off, change only that part. Editing a section costs 3 credits; on Pro and Creator you can also pick up to 5 lines and have only those re-sung on the same melody. For Punjabi songs, picking the lines yourself is the dependable route, since the automatic checker cannot yet confirm Gurmukhi.
Download the file for the DJ and the videographer. On the free plan a download is ₹9 per song. If you are making a whole set (sangeet, mehendi, haldi, entry), pay ₹99 or more once first, for example a 50-credit top-up; every song made after that downloads free. Downloads include commercial use, so the wedding film can use the song too.
