Made from your memories
What makes this birthday theirs?
Say who the gift is from and whether the birthday person enjoys a spotlight or a private joke. Pick one wish for the year ahead; the song does not need their whole life story.
- A shared memory that still makes you laugh.
- A habit, nickname or saying everyone recognizes.
- What you hope the coming year brings them.
More starting points. These examples are fictional; use your own names and memories.
A milestone birthday for a parent
“For Mum at sixty: she went back to art class after years of helping with our homework. Celebrate the first painting she hung in the hallway, and wish her more time for herself.”
“I’m making this for my older sister’s thirtieth birthday. We used hairbrushes as microphones in the hallway after school and burned our first batch of birthday cupcakes. She still sends me a voice message at sunrise on my birthday. As her younger brother, I want to celebrate her courage and make her laugh before the cake arrives.”
From a brother to his sister. The fictional story behind this song.
Give it your way
Let the birthday person have the moment
For someone who enjoys attention, save it for after the cake or speeches. Otherwise, arrange a private listen. Before a party, check names and jokes in the lyrics and test the recording on the speaker you will use.
Match the music to their kind of celebration
For a party, try bright pop with a chorus friends can join. For a quieter birthday, acoustic or folk can suit a personal message. Start with what they actually play in the car.
Their words, worth keeping.
Keep the full lyrics, or choose the lines that mean the most. Three lyric poster styles, included in the gift package.

Visit the help centerWhat can I try for free?
Share your story, read both versions’ lyrics and hear up to 60 seconds of each recording. No account or payment card is needed. We ask for an email before creating. Creation limits apply, and the form will let you know if you have reached yours.
What will it cost to keep the song?
The Song is $19 USD and The Gift is $39 USD, paid once with no subscription. Both include your chosen full recording, an MP3, complete lyrics and a sharing page. The Gift also includes a photo-and-note gift page, a printable lyric poster and a photo video. Listen to both previews for free before choosing.
Can it be funny as well as heartfelt?
Yes. Include the inside jokes you want to celebrate and describe the feeling you want. Listen to the previews and read the lyrics to check the tone before choosing a recording.
Can I put their name or age in the song?
Include the name, nickname or age you want in your story. Check the generated lyrics and listen to how names are pronounced. If you change the words afterward, make a new recording to hear those changes sung.
What if I am making a birthday song with friends?
Ask each person for one memory, then choose the details that fit a single message. Say who the song is from. A few recognizable moments usually make a more coherent story than a long list of names and jokes.
What if I want to change the words?
Choose Edit lyrics & remake on a generated version. Edit its title, lyrics or story to create new recordings while keeping the original. Editing text does not change an existing recording. A purchase stays with the selected recording and does not transfer to a remake. Finish any lyric changes, listen to the previews and choose your version before paying. Each remake counts toward your creation limit.
Can I choose the style, voice and language?
Choose a music style and vocal preference, or ask us to choose. Songs currently support English, so write your story, message and any edited lyrics in English. Your preferences guide the result; listen to the previews to hear how they turned out.
How long will the song be, and when will it be ready?
The story and musical choices shape the song’s length. The result page shows its actual duration and updates as the recordings become ready. Song creation and gift-file preparation are separate steps, with no fixed completion time. Leave time to review the previews, make any remakes and check the purchased MP3 and any poster or video before your occasion.
Some things are easier to say in a song.
What’s the memory only you could share?
Tell us why it stayed with you. Give them a song that brings it back.
