Gemini can now make full songs
Google’s Gemini, via the Lyria 3 Pro music model, can generate full‑length songs for most users instead of the older 30‑second demo clips, opening longer creative outputs to mainstream access (chromeunboxed.com). The report positioned Lyria 3 Pro as the expansion that moves Gemini’s music output from demoable snippets to full‑track generation for everyday users (chromeunboxed.com).
Google is expanding Gemini’s music tool from 30-second clips to songs up to three minutes long through its Lyria 3 Pro model. (blog.google) Google said the wider rollout in the Gemini app started on April 9, 2026, and applies to “more users” starting that day. The company’s help page says full tracks require a Google AI plan, while 30-second tracks remain available to everyone. (workspaceupdates.googleblog.com) (support.google.com) The newer model is built to follow song structure instead of just mood or genre prompts. Google says users can ask for parts like intros, verses, choruses, and bridges, and Lyria 3 Pro can keep those sections coherent across a longer track. (blog.google 1) (blog.google 2) Music generation models work by turning text instructions into audio patterns, the way an image model turns a prompt into pixels. Google describes Lyria 3 as a system trained to understand rhythm, arrangement, genres, moods, and instrumentation, with input from producers and musicians. (deepmind.google 1) (deepmind.google 2) Gemini’s earlier music feature, launched in February 2026, focused on 30-second tracks made from text, photos, or videos. Google said those shorter generations also came with custom cover art and SynthID watermarking to mark the audio as AI-generated. (blog.google) The change puts longer-form music generation into the same consumer app where Google already offers chat, image, and video tools. Google also says Lyria 3 Pro is available across Vertex AI, Google AI Studio, the Gemini application programming interface, Google Vids, and ProducerAI. (blog.google 1) (blog.google 2) Google is pitching the feature for projects like presentations, videos, and other assets, not just standalone songs. Its Workspace update says the longer tracks are meant to give users more control over custom background music inside the Gemini app. (workspaceupdates.googleblog.com) The rollout is still uneven. Google’s support page says the feature is “gradually rolling out” on the Gemini mobile app, and access to full-length tracks depends on account type, age, and subscription status. (support.google.com) For users, the practical shift is simple: Gemini is moving from making demo-length snippets to assembling complete, structured songs inside a mainstream Google product. Google’s own cap is still three minutes, but that is long enough for a conventional pop-song format instead of a preview. (blog.google)
