Your notes · for Olivia

  • — lives in her headphones
  • — skateboard by the door, a book in her bag
  • — rolls her eyes at my jokes, then laughs
  • — still hugs me good night

Our draft · verse one

SheOlivia’s twelve and she’s almost thirteen,

musicheadphones on, somewhere in between.

SneakersSkateboard by the door and a book in her bag,

rolls her eyes at my songsjokes, but I saw her laugh.

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

Twelve is almost thirteen, as she’ll tell you

She’s somewhere in between: headphones on, skateboard by the door, a book in her bag she won’t admit she’s loving. She rolls her eyes at your jokes and laughs half a second later. A twelve-year-old girl will not thank you for a cute song. She might keep an honest one: a few true details, a tune that sounds like her playlist, her name sung in the right place. Tell us what you’ve noticed, and AI writes and records it for her twelfth birthday.

What to put in a birthday song for a 12-year-old girl

  • What’s playing in her headphones
  • The eye roll, and what follows it
  • The board, court or stage she’s on after school
  • The book or show she pretends not to love
  • What she still lets you do, like the hug at night
  • Something you admire about who she’s becoming

Hear it. See it.

Every recording comes with its own cover photo. A music video made from your own photos can be added once you have your song.

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

The music video is an add-on for $34.99, ordered once you have your song. Any style can be made tall or wide. These are short samples; a finished video runs the full length of your song, 2.5 to 3 minutes.

Three pages, start to finish.

  1. Page one

    Your notes

    Answer a few questions about them: who they are, what you’ve shared, the things they always say. Small details beat big statements.

  2. Page two

    Our draft

    AI writes the lyrics from what you told us, in under a minute. Read them before you pay anything. Ask for changes or a fresh set up to five times, and edit any word yourself.

  3. Page three

    Their song

    Once the lyrics are right, you pay and we record them three ways. Keep your two favourites and get a third as a gift: full recordings, each with its own cover, to download and share. A music video can come later.

Three ways to play it.

(once is enough, they’ll replay it)

  1. one

    Text it, don’t announce it

    A link with no comment. Let her come to you.

  2. two

    Play it on the drive to school

    Eyes on the road, no looking at her face.

  3. three

    Keep it for her thirteenth

    A year from now she’ll want to hear who she was at twelve.

One song. One optional video.

One price for the song, paid once you’ve read the lyrics. The music video is there later if you want it.

Questions people ask first.

Will she find it embarrassing?

She might say so. Keep it honest, skip anything babyish and choose a style from her own playlist. You read the lyrics first and can change any line that sounds like a parent wrote it.

Can it be mostly funny with one sincere line?

Yes. Choose “a bit of both” for the mood. That is often the right balance at twelve.

How much does a personalized song cost?

It costs $24.99. AI writes the lyrics from your story first, and you read them for free. You pay once they’re right. We then record them three ways, you hear a 15-second demo of each and choose two to keep, and a third comes as a gift. Each recording has its own cover. A music video is an optional add-on for $34.99, ordered once you have your song.

Can I get a refund?

No. All sales are final, because you read and approve the lyrics before you pay, and the recordings are made for you alone and delivered straight away. If the AI singer can’t record the lyrics you approved, you change them and we record again at no extra charge. If something you paid for doesn’t arrive or a file is broken, write to us and we make it again.

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 that you order once you have your song. You say which recording it’s for, 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. Before anything is recorded you can ask for changes up to five times, or edit the words yourself.

How long is a song?

Each finished recording 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.

Birthday songs by age

A song for a three-year-old isn’t a song for a twelve-year-old. Each age has its own page, with its own sample.

For a girl turning

For a boy turning

We don’t write songs about love. We write songs about a twelve-year-old who is almost thirteen.
