Modern pop lives on a clean, loud mix and a chorus that arrives fast. In Suno the trap is being too vague — 'pop' alone gives you a generic demo, so pin down the era, the vocal type and the rhythm section.

Pop is broad, so a mid Style Influence keeps the model from locking onto one sub-style, and low Weirdness protects the hook.
Tips for better pop results
Name the decade — '2010s festival pop' and 'late-80s synth pop' are different worlds.
Ask for 'layered harmonies in the chorus' — it is the fastest way to make a chorus feel bigger than the verse.
Keep lyrics short and repetitive; pop choruses reward repetition more than clever lines.
