|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Required | The text prompt describing the music to generate |
music_length_ms | integer | Optional | The length of the song to generate in milliseconds (3000-600000). If not provided, the model will choose a length based on the prompt. · Min: 3000 · Max: 600000 |

|---|---|---|
id | string | Unique identifier for the generation task |
status | string | Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout |
model | string | Model used for the generation |
outputs | array | Array of output items |
outputs[].url | string | URL of the generated artifact |
outputs[].content_type | string | MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4) |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.

ElevenLabs Music
elevenlabs/music creates complete music from a written brief, including composition, arrangement, instrumentation, and production character rather than a simple loop or sound effect. Prompts can describe genre, mood, tempo, performance, structure, and sonic references, while an instrumental option supports score and background-music workflows without vocals. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.
For production work, With lengths from three seconds to ten minutes, the model can cover stingers, social cues, song sections, and sustained pieces while keeping the musical idea coherent over time. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.
Highlights
Full-track composition develops musical structure, arrangement, and production from text.
Genre and mood control translates descriptive art direction into a distinct sonic identity.
Instrumental generation supports scores, beds, and cues without sung vocals.
Long-duration coherence enables music from brief stingers through ten-minute pieces.

When to Use
| ✅ Good fit | ❌ Consider alternatives |
|---|---|
| The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended output | A different input modality or model route is required |
| A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipeline | A synchronous, interactive editor is essential |
| The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or format | The project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema |
| Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structure | Exact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory |
| A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverable | Editable source layers or a native project file are required |
Prompt Guide
For music generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.
