Your notes · for my son

  • — he’s fifteen and already wears a size eleven
  • — empties the fridge and calls it a snack
  • — still holds the door for people
  • — texts me good night from his own room
  • — make it one he won’t be embarrassed by

Our draft · verse one

Size seveneleven sneakers piled up by the door,

you were so smallhalf my height, I swear, the year before.

You empty out the cupboardfridge and you call it a snack,

you say you’re going out and maybeyes, you’re coming back.

Now it could only be about him.Fine. But it could be about anyone.

He won’t ask for a song. Write him one anyway.

He is not going to ask what you remember about him. So tell him: the cape made from a bedsheet, the year he outgrew every pair of shoes, the door he still holds open. A personalized song says the things that are hard to say across a kitchen table. Give us the details, and AI writes and sings an original song for your son, in a style he won’t be embarrassed to play twice.

What to put in a song for your son

  • What he was obsessed with at five
  • The year he shot up past you
  • What he eats, and how much of it
  • The thing he does when he thinks nobody notices
  • His team, his game or his band
  • What you want him to know before he leaves home

Hear it. See it.

Every song comes with its own cover photo. A music video made from your own photos can be added too.

This is a short sample. A finished song runs 2.5 to 3 minutes.

    Play it on his birthday

    Thirteen, eighteen or twenty-one. He’ll roll his eyes and keep the link.

    Give it at graduation

    Something to listen to in the car on the way home.

  3. three

    Send it when he’s far away

Questions people ask first.

My son is a teenager. Will he hate it?

Choose the funny mood and a style he listens to, and keep the soft part to one line at the end. That is usually the version a teenager plays again.

Does it work for a grown son?

Yes. Tell us his age and what he’s doing now, and the song is about the man he has become as well as the boy he was.

How much does a personalized song cost?

It costs $24.99. We write and record five songs from your story, and you hear a 15-second preview of each for free. You pay once you’ve chosen the two you want to keep, and a third comes as a gift. Each song has its own cover. A music video is an optional add-on for $34.99.

What do I need to tell you?

A few details in plain words: who the song is for, the occasion, and the memories, phrases and inside jokes that make them who they are. You also choose the style of music.

How does the music video work?

The music video is an add-on for $34.99. You upload your photos, choose a tall video for phones or a wide one for the TV, and pick one of twelve styles, from pencil sketch to claymation. The photos are redrawn in that style, animated, and cut to the length of the song. It is ready 2 to 4 hours after you order, sometimes sooner.

Are the songs written by AI?

Yes. AI writes the lyrics from the details you give us and performs the song. What makes it personal is your story: the names, places and moments in the lyrics all come from you.

How long is a song?

A finished song runs 2.5 to 3 minutes, and so does the music video if you add one. The samples on this site are short clips of 20 to 30 seconds.

Who’s next on the list?

Birthdays, weddings, Christmas morning, or an ordinary Tuesday. If there’s a person, there’s a song.
