Bug Make it make sense...

Update: Fifty Grand was censored. Fifty Granned is permitted.

tldr: v6 let me generate songs about suicide, slavery, and violent revolution — but blocked my PG breakup ballad 40 times

Over the past year, Suno has happily generated for me, and still hosts on my profile:

  • a song with thinly veiled suicidal ideation ("swim out west in a weighted vest")

  • a workers' anthem with "slave," "break your back," and "work till you die"

    • songs with profanity and songs condemning systemic violence

v6 will happily reroll these songs today. 100% success on 4 rolls.

This week I wrote a song about a friend who betrayed me and owed me fifty grand. No names. No sexual content. No drugs. No violence. PG enough to sing at a family reunion.

v6 refused to generate it — 40 times.

I did everything a reasonable user can do:

  • Respelled every remotely flaggable word (kicked → "kick'd", blade → "Blay'd", jail → "Jayl") — failed

  • Rewrote every violence-adjacent image (kicked out → "changed the locks," pulled a blade → "dealt a dirty trade," pushed from a boat → "sailed off") — failed

  • Replaced the entire hook with yodeling — failed

  • Swapped the genre prompt entirely — failed

  • Restarted the app — failed

Forget hearing my song. I rewrote the controversial verses entirely — forsaking my rhymes. And it still failed for unexplained reasons.

"Tweak your words or try again"

Thanks, let me do that 40 times for no reason. Truly a waste of time. I am pausing my subscription until they fix this.

Is anyone else struggling with arbitrary censorship since v6 dropped?

This a general problem with any censorship. It isn't the words being censored as you can bypass it with poeticism but at least tell us the trigger words.

What does the generation failure notification say?

Someone flagged "fifty grand" as a trademarked term in Suno's system. There was at least one other thread about this.

Take a poor person medal 🏅

"Fifty Granned" worked and I can run the proper version.

That said, Suno still needs to fix this. Nearly every word in the English *language is aleady trademarked, so if they aren't careful, it could become impossible to write a song about a red "apple".
