How do I make my own background music for videos with AI?

Open the music tool in Gemini, pick the background music template, set the length, choose instrumental and describe your video's mood. As of October 2026 it uses Lyria 3.5. Creators posting short videos every week get the most from it, since each track is original. If your video has a voiceover, ask for a softer track with no vocals so your voice stays clear.

The prompt that gets copied

Make an instrumental background track for a [VIDEO TYPE, e.g. 60-second tip video for Instagram] about [VIDEO TOPIC, e.g. morning routines for busy parents]. The mood should feel [THE MOOD, e.g. warm, upbeat and calm]. Keep it light enough that my voice is easy to hear over it: no vocals, no sudden drops or loud hits, and a steady beat around [THE TEMPO, e.g. a relaxed walking pace]. Start softly for the first few seconds while I say my hook, build a little in the middle, and end with a clean finish rather than a fade that cuts off. Genre: [MUSIC GENRE, e.g. light acoustic with soft piano].

Ask Gemini to create music, pick the background music template, set the length and choose instrumental, then describe your video. You get an original track that fits the mood and runs the right length.
