Tutorial: how to turn your texts into a song with Suno
Turn Your Text Messages Into a Song. Free.
The TikTok trend is one screenshot away. Paste your texts, open Advanced mode, drop them into lyrics, and Suno sings the rest.
@ninajammin walks through the whole flow.
You do not need to retype anything. iPhone's Live Text reads the words right out of your screenshot — paste them into Suno and go.
Step 1
Open the thread in Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs — any app with text. Take a screenshot: on iPhone, press the side button and volume up at the same time.
Works with any chat app. The words just have to be readable on screen.
Step 2
Open the screenshot in the Photos app. Tap the Live Text button in the lower-right corner — it looks like lines inside brackets — or long-press any word. Tap Select All, then Copy.
Not seeing the Live Text button? Turn it on at Settings → General → Language & Region → Live Text.
Step 3
Come back to this page and long-press the prompt box to paste. Add a style at the end if you want a specific vibe — try "pop punk", "emo ballad", "2007 Warped Tour", or "acoustic sad girl".
You can paste a whole thread. Suno handles long prompts.
Step 4
Suno generates a full song with lyrics, vocals, and instruments in under a minute. Download the MP3, drop it into CapCut or your video editor of choice, and time each text bubble to land with the lyric as it plays.
Tag your TikTok #SunoTextSong so creators can find each other.
iOS 15 or later, iPhone XS / XR or newer (A12 Bionic chip and up). Enable it at Settings → General → Language & Region → Live Text.
Real TikToks from creators riding the trend. Tap play to hear the songs.
