# How to Create Background Music with ChatGPT

ChatGPT brings music direction expertise to track generation, suggesting styles and moods based on your video genre and audience. Describe the feel you want in natural language, preview the result, and explore alternative directions through creative conversation. ChatGPT can also recommend where to use different musical energies within a single video.
