Google has expanded the capabilities of Google Gemini, enabling users to generate original music directly within the chatbot. The new feature is powered by Lyria 3 and developed by Google DeepMind.
Now create music with Lyria 3 on Gemini.
The new update will enable users to create a 30-second music track. All you have to do is type a prompt or upload a photo or short video of what you want to create music on. Music will be created with the help of AI, which will be an original soundtrack for you based on the given inputs.
How does Gemini's music generation feature work?
Google said that Lyria 3 is a significant upgrade to its earlier AI music model. The new feature is said to create more realistic music, which can be layered into compositions. Users can:
- Type a simple idea like “romantic bollywood-style track”
- Describe a fun concept, like a song about lost socks
- Upload a photo or video for inspiration
The system will automatically generate songs and music as per the photo or video or given input. There is no need to upload songs separately, as AI will do the necessary work. Users can also make changes to elements such as:
- style of song
- tempo and tempo of music
- vowel sound as per choice
- Google has clarified that the tool is designed for expression and entertainment, not as a replacement for professional music production.
Availability in India and globally
Google launched this feature on February 19, 2026. Key Details:
- Available to users aged 18+
- Supports eight languages including Hindi
- Initially available on desktop
- mobile support coming soon
- Higher usage limit for Google AI Plus, AI Pro and AI Ultra customers
This means Indian users can experiment with AI-generated music directly inside the Gemini AI platform without the need for third-party apps.
Lyria 3 expanded to YouTube creators
Google is also integrating Lyria 3 into Dream Tracks for creators on YouTube. The feature, which initially launched in the US, is now expanding around the world.
This integration will enable creators to generate background music that is tailored to their videos and reduce the need for licensed third-party tracks.
No copying artists – Google says
It is important to note that Google has clearly stated that Lyria 3 is designed to create new original compositions and will not copy any existing singers. It doesn't matter if a user mentions a specific singer or musician, Gemini will treat it as general inspiration and will not attempt to copy the sound of any existing artist.
