Lyric formatting Dropkit understands

Dropkit understands square-bracket section tags on their own lines. Use [Verse], [Pre-Chorus], [Chorus], [Drop], [Bridge] and [Break]. Plain lines between tags are sung. Blank lines separate sections. Anything you label [Intro] or [Outro] is replaced with Dropkit's own instrumental blocks.

The sheet the model receives

Your text is wrapped like this before it is sent:

[Intro]
[Instrumental]
(16 bars, drums and percussion only, no singing)

...your lyrics, with your tags...

[Outro]
[Instrumental]
(32 bars, no vocals, no ad-libs)

The bar counts match your intro and outro settings. Because the sheet must contain exactly one intro and one outro, any [Intro] or [Outro] section you typed, and the lines under it, are removed. Put sung material under a different tag.

Tags that work

Tag	What the model tends to do
[Verse]	Lower energy, narrative delivery
[Pre-Chorus]	Builds tension into the hook
[Chorus]	The hook, fullest vocal
[Drop]	Peak energy; sparse or chanted vocal works best
[Bridge]	Contrast section, often a key or mood shift
[Break]	Breakdown, stripped instrumentation

A good club structure, and the one Dropkit's own writer uses, is Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Drop, Verse, Chorus, Drop, Break, Chorus.

Writing lines that sing well

• Short lines. Six to ten syllables sit naturally on a four-bar phrase.
• Repeat the hook literally. If you want the chorus sung twice, write it twice. The model does not infer repeats.
• Rhyme loosely. Perfect rhyme is not required, but consistent line lengths within a section help phrasing.
• Punctuation is read as breath. Commas and line breaks create pauses; a long unbroken line gets rushed.
• Parentheses for backing vocals. (oh oh) on its own line usually becomes an ad-lib or response.

Stage directions

Round-bracket notes such as (whispered) or (crowd shout) are sometimes followed, sometimes sung aloud. The reliable way to direct delivery is the Voice options panel, where Delivery sets sung, rap, spoken word, chant, call and response or harmonies for the whole track.

Limits

The lyrics box holds 5,000 characters. The model's own cap is higher, but a five-minute track rarely needs more than 1,500 characters of lyric. Over-long sheets get rushed or truncated by the arrangement.

Instrumental mode

Choose Instrumental and the lyric box is ignored. Dropkit sends a tag-only sheet, intro, build, drop, breakdown, drop, outro, so the model still follows your bar counts without singing.
