Google has announced the integration of its new Lyria 3 model into Gemini, enabling users to generate 30-second music tracks from simple text prompts. The feature will also power YouTube’s “Dream Track” option for Shorts.
Users can create music using basic prompts such as “comical R&B slow jam” or customize tracks in detail by adjusting tempo, drumming styles, and mood. Gemini’s Lyria 3 goes beyond text, allowing tracks to be generated from uploaded photos or videos.
In addition, Lyria 3 can pair music with AI-generated album art created using Google’s Nano Banana image model. The combination allows creators to produce visually and musically coordinated content efficiently.
According to Google, Lyria 3 represents a significant step forward in realistic, professional-grade AI music production. The model automates arrangements, instruments, and even lyric writing, though current clips are limited to 30 seconds. Feedback suggests AI-generated lyrics may sometimes lack natural flow, but instrumental quality is highly realistic.
All Lyria 3 outputs use Google’s SynthID watermarking for transparency. Users can identify tracks using the SynthID Detector, introduced at Google I/O 2025. This ensures authenticity and protects creators from misuse of AI-generated music.
The Lyria 3 feature is available globally to Gemini users aged 18 and older. It currently supports English, Spanish, German, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese prompts, making it accessible to a wide international audience.
Industry analysts say Google’s move reinforces its position as a leader in AI creativity. By combining music generation with visual art, the tech giant is offering new tools for content creators, expanding both Gemini and YouTube’s capabilities.
