How do I write a song for my girlfriend?

You do not write it yourself. You answer guided questions about her and your relationship, and the lyrics are written from your answers. You can edit every line before it is sung.

What if we have not been together long?

That is fine and it does not make the song thinner. The prompts ask what you have noticed and when you knew, which works at three months as well as at ten years.

How do I give it to her?

You get an MP3 to keep and a private reveal page with its own 4-digit code. Send the link, give her the code, and let her open it herself.

A custom song for your girlfriend

Playing someone a song that reminds you of them is a gesture. Playing them a song that is about them is a different category of thing entirely.

You answer questions about her and about the two of you. Those answers become original lyrics you can read and edit, then get recorded as a full song in whatever genre fits.

You text me the same photo of the same dog every week,
and I have saved every single one —
that is the whole confession, really.

From a song written for a girlfriend of eighteen months

It does not need to be an occasion

Birthdays and Valentine’s Day both work, but a song that turns up on a day with nothing attached to it is harder to explain away and therefore lands harder. There is no shipping and no deadline, so the timing is entirely yours.

Specific beats romantic

Grand statements are the easy part and they are also the forgettable part. The line about how she says your name when she is annoyed, or the terrible restaurant you both defend, will do more work than any sentence containing the word "forever".

You do not have to be a writer

You answer plain questions in plain sentences. Nothing is recorded until you have read the lyrics and changed anything you want changed.

How it works

Pick the occasion

Birthday, wedding, memorial, or just because — choose the moment the song is for.

Share your memories

Guided prompts pull out the stories only you two share. We turn them into lyrics you can edit and refine.

Hear it sung

A few minutes later, two full versions of your song. Preview both, pick your favorite.

Gift the reveal

Download your MP3 and send a personal reveal page, unlocked with their own 4-digit code.
