I first learned about Suno from a Facebook ad. I’m not a musician, and I’m not a native English speaker. I don’t know what a bridge or chorus should sound like. And that’s the reason why writing a song and composing music are such big challenges for me. But the idea of creating my own song felt exciting, so I gave it a try.
My 1st song – My Coffee Cup Without Coffee, it was created with the help of ChatGPT for the lyrics and Suno for the music. It was easy, becuase I didn’t need to understand melody or rhythm. For the first time, I could express something musical without any music skills. It felt empowering. I think that’s the beauty side of AI. It removes the fear of “not knowing enough” and lets anyone start creating.
For my 2nd song – I am your Today, I wanted to express with more emotion. So I reused a melody made by a professional artist on Suno. I loved that melody. It captured the feelings I couldn’t create on my own.
Suno’s Remix feature made this possible. It allowed users to reuse and build upon existing tracks by creating Covers or Extensions. Using that function, I wrote my own lyrics around the melody. But a few days later, I noticed the artist had turned off the Remix option for that song. Maybe they didn’t like how people were using it. Maybe they just wanted to protect their work.
That moment made me think about the 2 sides of AI creativity:
On one side, tools like Suno empower amateurs like me. We can express ideas without technical barriers.
On the other side, they blur the lines of ownership: who controls what’s created, and how it’s reused.
⁉️🤔
I started to think how this could work differently:
What if Suno allowed authors to approve or reject remixes before they’re published?
What if authors could leave short comments for the remixer feedback, encouragement, or even guidance?
This small act could turn remixing into a real collaboration, not just replication. Amateurs would still feel empowered to create, and professionals would feel respected for their authorship.
Reflection
AI can generate endlessly, but it never starts from nothing. Behind every generative output, there are traces of human work. It’s the “invisible originals”.
What I am thinking after exploring Suno is not legal or technical, but it’s about showing respect part of the creative process itself.
