How to Make a Custom Song for Someone (2026 Guide, 3 Minutes)

You can make a custom song in about 3 minutes: write a few memories about the person, check the lyrics we draft, pick a style, and get a 3-4 minute song in 2 versions. No musical skills needed.

What you need

• Their name, and the nickname you use at home
• The occasion: anniversary, birthday, wedding, Christmas, Mother's or Father's Day, a memorial, or just because
• 3 or more specific memories: where you met, a habit, a place, an inside joke, the names of kids or pets

Step 1. Tell your story (about 3 minutes)

Fill in 5 short fields and 10-1,500 characters of memories on the create page. Specific beats general: "she dances in the kitchen every Sunday" makes a better line than "she is fun".

Step 2. Check the lyrics (about 6 seconds to draft)

You get a title and lyrics in a standard song shape: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. Edit any line. Keep the section tags like [Chorus] on their own lines. If the draft misses the mood, ask for a new one; drafts are free.

Step 3. Create the song (about 1-2 minutes)

Choose 1 of 7 styles (acoustic, pop, country, R&B, soft rock, lullaby, worship) and a female or male voice. One credit makes 2 versions, 3-4 minutes each, MP3 at 256 kbps.

Step 4. Send the gift

Play it in person, download the MP3, or send the private gift page with the lyrics. The gift page opens only for people who have the link.

Tips that make the song better

1. Put their name in your story at least once; we use it in the chorus.
2. Give 3 or more concrete details. Each one can become a line.
3. Say what you want them to feel: grateful, laughing, comforted.
4. Read the lyrics out loud before creating the song. Fixing a word is free; a new song costs a credit.
