Udio is an AI music service that generates songs from a short text description, and it is being rebuilt under licensing deals with major record labels.
In plain words
You type the style, mood or theme you want, and Udio makes songs from it, two per prompt. It can write lyrics for you, or you can enter your own, and you can extend a song with a new intro or outro. In October 2025 Udio partnered with Universal Music Group, and downloading of audio, video and stems was switched off. A deal with Warner Music Group settled a copyright lawsuit and plans a new platform for remixes and covers using voices of artists who opt in.
A quick example
Imagine typing 'a song about missing the last bus home, britpop'. Udio returns two different takes. You keep the one you like better and extend it with an outro so it ends properly.
Where you'll meet it
- Quick songs made from a text prompt.
- Licensed remixes and covers on the planned new platform.
