Lyria 3 Clip API: 30-second AI music from text

Lyria 3 Clip is Google's music generation model for short-form audio, producing 30-second clips from text prompts or images and outputting MP3. It supports custom lyrics with structural tags to shape the song.

On YepAPI you generate Lyria 3 Clip music with one API key on the media queue endpoint at a flat $0.08 per song, making short backing tracks and loops extremely affordable.

What is Lyria 3 Clip?

Lyria 3 Clip is a music generation model from Google that creates 30-second music clips. From a text prompt describing genre, mood, instrumentation, and tempo — or from an image whose style it translates into sound — it produces a complete short track as an MP3. It also accepts custom lyrics with structural tags, so you can specify verses, choruses, and other sections within the clip. Lyria 3 Clip is built for short-form needs: loops, intros, stings, and social-length backing music, where a polished 30-second piece is all you need.

Build with Lyria 3 Clip via YepAPI

Generate music by submitting a text prompt — optionally with custom lyrics and structural tags, or an image reference — to the YepAPI media queue using one API key. You poll the asynchronous job and download the finished MP3 when generation completes. The queue handles the audio synthesis, so your app just enqueues prompts and collects tracks. The same key also reaches Lyria 3 Pro and the rest of the catalog, so you can prototype on Clip and move to full-length songs without changing credentials.

Lyria 3 Clip API pricing — Flat rate: $0.08/song

Lyria 3 Clip is billed at a flat $0.08 per generated song, regardless of prompt length — no per-token or per-second math. That predictable price makes it cheap to generate many variations of a 30-second clip, so you can explore moods and arrangements freely. You pay only per song you generate, and one YepAPI balance covers Lyria 3 Clip alongside every other model on the platform.

Lyria 3 Clip for short loops and social audio

Lyria 3 Clip is ideal for short-form audio: looping background music for apps and games, intros and outros for videos, stings and transitions, and backing tracks for social posts. Its flat per-song price encourages generating several options and picking the best fit, while custom lyrics and structural tags let you tailor a clip to a specific scene. For any project needing quick, polished 30-second music, it is the economical choice.
