Chinese Song Generator (Mandarin)
Mandarin lyrics in Chinese characters, sung as written, over a Mandopop ballad, a 中国风 song with guzheng and erhu, campus folk or Chinese rap.
Chinese pop is mostly sung in Mandarin, and its sounds range from the piano-led Mandopop ballad and campus folk (校园民谣) to 中国风, the "Chinese style" that sets pop melodies over guzheng, erhu, pipa and dizi, plus a fast-growing Chinese rap scene. Cantonese has its own tradition in Cantopop.
Chinese 中文 — 华语流行, 中国风, 民谣, 说唱. Autunes takes Mandarin lyrics in Chinese characters, or writes them from your description, and sings them with a full arrangement, mix, cover art and line-timed lyrics, usually in 2 to 4 minutes. Cantonese is a separate supported language with its own page, the Cantonese song generator.
Why creators choose Autunes
Mandarin in Chinese characters
Paste lyrics in Chinese characters and the vocalist sings your exact words. No pinyin needed.
Mandopop to 中国风
Ask for a piano ballad, guzheng and erhu over modern drums, campus folk with acoustic guitar, or Chinese rap over a trap beat.
Line-by-line check
Every finished vocal is transcribed and compared with its lyrics. On Pro and Creator, Auto-Fix (10 credits) re-records only the lines that came out wrong.
Free credits every day
25 signup credits, then 20 free credits every day after those are used: about two full songs a day on Zori5 Turbo. Songs run up to 3 minutes on Free and Pro, up to 5 on Creator.
Studio editing
On Pro and Creator, re-sing or rewrite one section, make a variation, steer the whole song with Flow, cut it, or split it into 6 stems and MIDI.
Mandarin prompt ideas
Name the style, two or three instruments and the imagery. Ask for Mandarin lyrics in the description, or paste your own in Chinese characters.
- Try: 'Mandopop ballad, piano and strings, gentle male vocal, rain on a city window and a love that ended, 70 BPM.'
- Try: '中国风 pop song in Mandarin, guzheng and erhu over modern drums, female vocal, moonlight and willow imagery.'
- Try: 'Campus folk (校园民谣), acoustic guitar and harmonica, nostalgic male vocal about the summer of graduation.'
- Try: 'Chinese rap, trap beat with pipa samples, confident verses, a hook about hometown pride.'
- Try: 'Spring Festival song in Mandarin, gongs and suona, bright group chorus, a family reunion dinner.'
What to expect
The singer sings the words it is given, as written in Chinese characters. If Autunes drafts the lyrics for you, read them before you generate; for exact wording, rhymes or names, paste your own.
Mandarin is tonal, and a sung melody bends syllable tones the way human songwriters' melodies do. Listeners usually follow from context, but if a line could be heard two ways, change the wording.
Style and instruments come from the prompt, so a take can come out more modern or more traditional than you pictured. Regenerate or refine the description; on Pro and Creator you can re-sing one section instead of the whole song.

How ownership works
Is the Chinese song generator free?
Yes, to start. New accounts get 25 signup credits, plus 20 free credits every day after that balance is used, which is about two full songs a day on Zori5 Turbo (10 credits a song). Zori5.5 XL costs 15 credits and is used on the free plan when you supply your own lyrics. Free-plan songs are for personal use.
Can I use my own Chinese lyrics?
Yes. Paste your Mandarin lyrics in Chinese characters and they are sung word for word, as written. With your own lyrics, the free plan can use Zori5.5 XL (15 credits), and every finished vocal is transcribed and compared with your lyrics so you can spot a line that came out wrong.
Does it also sing Cantonese?
Yes. Cantonese is a separate supported language. Write Cantonese lyrics in Chinese characters and ask for a Cantonese song in the description; the Cantonese song generator page has prompt ideas for Cantopop.
Can I use a Chinese AI song commercially?
Yes, with Pro (about US$7 for 30 days) or Creator (about US$36 for 30 days), which include downloads, a commercial licence and creation proof for YouTube, Instagram, streaming and ads. Without a plan you can license a single song for US$0.99, €0.99, £0.89 or A$1.49, with other currencies priced locally. Free-plan songs are for personal use.
How does it compare to Suno for Chinese songs?
Suno is a strong, general-purpose generator and the best-known name in AI music. As listed on its site in October 2026, its free plan has daily credits but lists no song downloads and no commercial rights, and Pro starts at $8 a month with 20 downloads. Autunes is built for singing in many languages, each in its own script (Mandarin in Chinese characters), with 20 free credits a day, a line-by-line check of every vocal, and Studio editing to re-sing or rewrite a single section. The fairest test is to try the same lyrics on both and judge by ear.
How much does Autunes cost?
Pro is about US$7 for 30 days with 300 credits, and Creator about US$36 for 30 days with 1,100 credits, both charged in your local currency. Passes never auto-renew, and yearly plans are available. Without a plan, a single-song download licence is US$0.99, €0.99, £0.89 or A$1.49, with other currencies priced locally.
