Life right now feels about as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake. You can’t turn on the news without getting hit by another doom-and-gloom headline, especially about tariffs and their global economic fallout. So how do you deal with all this stress? Therapy? Yoga? Nah. I decided to write a song about it! And not just any song, an AI-generated anthem courtesy of Suno AI. I went in expecting a quirky experiment, and honestly? I was impressed with the results.
What Is Suno AI?
Suno AI is an artificial intelligence music generator that lets you create full songs (lyrics, vocals, and music) by simply describing what you want in a few words. You don’t need a studio, an instrument, or even vocal chops.
The platform officially launched in late 2023 with the mission of democratizing music creation, so anyone, even those without formal training, can make music.
Who Owns the Music?
Ownership depends on your plan:
🎵 Free (Basic) Plan
- Ownership: Suno retains ownership.
- Usage: Songs can be used for non-commercial purposes (like social media or personal projects).
- Commercial Use: Not permitted.
💼 Pro and Premier Plans
- Ownership: You own the songs created during your subscription.
- Usage Rights: You can use your songs commercially.
- Post-Subscription: You keep commercial rights for songs created while subscribed.
The Project: “Can’t Afford Coffee No More”
I decided to channel our current economic impact the best way I know how—through song. Specifically, a song about how this economic situation is threatening the most sacred part of my day: my coffee habit!
While I’m musically inclined (and not shy about belting an F one octaves above middle C), letting AI do the heavy lifting was impressive.

The Final Product
Takeaway
This project was my humorous (and slightly caffeinated) way of processing global economic anxiety with the help of AI. Suno made it incredibly easy to turn my thoughts into a full-blown 80s-style anthem, complete with synth vibes and melodrama. Whether you’re a songwriter, a shower singer, or just someone who really misses affordable lattes, AI tools like Suno make it fun and accessible to bring your voice and your economic rants to life.
