What is it?

Music v2 is ElevenLabs' latest text-to-music model. You describe a song in plain language and it generates full tracks with vocals, instrumentation, and arrangement. It is the engine behind the ElevenMusic app, the ElevenCreative tool, and the music API.

How does it work?

The model builds songs section by section — intro, verse, chorus — while keeping the whole track coherent, so a single song can move from opera to heavy metal and back or sustain dense, fast rap. An inpainting mode lets you select any segment and regenerate just that part from a prompt, leaving the rest untouched, and non-musical sound effects can be embedded inline. It is trained only on licensed data cleared for commercial use.

Why does it matter?

Mid-track control and section-level inpainting let creators revise part of a song without regenerating the whole thing. Training only on licensed data cleared for commercial use gives commercial users a clearer legal footing, and API price cuts of up to 50 percent lower the cost of generating audio at scale.
