Google: Gemini can now create music

The application Gemini: Google now has the lyria 3, the most advanced music creation model, enabling everyone to create 30-second music tracks using text or images

Since the first release of the Gemini app, tools have been developed to encourage creative expression through images and videos. On February 18, 2026, Google took the next step with the ability to create personalized music . Lyria 3 , Google DeepMind’s latest music creation model, is being released in the Gemini app. Users can simply describe an idea or upload a photo, such as “a comedic R&B ballad about a sock that finds its soulmate,” and within seconds, Gemini will translate it into a high-quality track. To expand creative boundaries, Gemini now offers the ability to draw inspiration directly from user-uploaded content, transforming visual stimuli into complete musical compositions.

Lyria 3 upgrades sound creation compared to the previous version of the model, focusing on three important axes:

1. Creating Lyrics: The user is no longer required to provide lyrics, as the model automatically generates them based on the user's instruction.
2. Creative Control: Greater freedom is offered in defining elements such as style, vocals, and rhythm.
3. Musical Complexity: The creation of more realistic and musically complex pieces is allowed.

Ways of Use

• Text in a musical piece: The user can describe a specific genre, a mood, a joke from the group, or a memory to create unique tracks with lyrics or orchestral music that matches their vibe. «I feel nostalgic. He created a piece for my mother about the wonderful times we had as children and the memories of home-fried food. plantains her. Dooh, the one fun part afrobeat with a true African atmosphere».
• From photos and videos to songs: The user can upload a photo or video and watch Gemini use the content to compose a song with lyrics that perfectly match their mood. «Use these photos to create a piece about my dog duncan on a hike in the forest».

The Gemini app creates 30-second tracks, which are accompanied by a custom cover art created by Nano Banana. This process makes it easy to quickly share with friends, either by downloading the file or via a simple share link. The goal of this feature is not to create a musical masterpiece, but to provide a fun and unique way to express yourself.

Creators can also explore the capabilities of Lyria 3 in Dream Track on YouTube. This feature, which is already available in the US and is expected to be available in more countries soon, enhances the quality of the musical soundtrack in Shorts. Whether it’s creating a lyric or an atmospheric backing track, the ability to better customize the music takes creators’ Shorts to the next level.

New audio verification capabilities

All tracks created in Gemini are embedded with SynthID , Google’s watermark that allows content to be identified as being created by Google’s AI. Now, additional tools are provided to help identify AI content, extending the verification capabilities in Gemini and the audio domain. Users can now upload a file and ask if it was created with Google’s AI. Gemini will check for the presence of SynthID and, combining this technology with its own logical analysis, provide a documented answer.

Google's commitment to the responsible development of Gen AI

Since Lyria’s initial release in 2023, Google has sought to develop this technology responsibly in partnership with the music community. Through experimentation and collaborations, such as the Music AI Sandbox , special attention was paid to copyright and partner agreements when training Lyria 3.

Creating tracks with Lyria 3 is designed to showcase original expression, not to imitate existing artists. If the user's instruction mentions a specific artist, Gemini will take this as broad creative inspiration and create a track with a similar style or mood. Google also has filters to check results against existing content. It is recognized that this approach may not be foolproof, so the ability to report content that may infringe on third-party rights is provided. In addition, to use Google products, the user must comply with the Terms of Service and Gen AI Prohibited Use Policies , which prohibit infringement of intellectual property and privacy rights.

Lyria 3 is available in beta for desktop starting today and in the Gemini mobile app in the coming days, for all users worldwide.
