Your notes · for my daughter

  • — her gown was two sizes too long
  • — the cap wouldn’t stay straight
  • — she waved at us from row twelve
  • — I cried when they called her name
  • — make it loud and proud

Our draft · verse one

Cap on straightcrooked, gown two sizes too long,

you waved from the stagerow twelve like nothing could go wrong.

They called your name and I smiledcried like a fool,

handscaps in the air, and that’s you done with school.

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

They’ll hear a dozen speeches. Give them one song.

Graduation speeches are about the future. A personalized graduation song is about how they got here: the all-nighters, the subject they nearly dropped, the gown that didn’t fit. Tell us what it took, and AI writes it into a song and sings it, with their name in the lyrics.

What to put in a graduation song

  • The subject they nearly gave up on
  • Where they studied, and what they lived on
  • The call home after the hardest exam
  • What they wanted to be when they were six
  • Who was in the crowd when their name was called
  • What comes next, if they know yet

Hear it. See it. Watch it.

Every song comes with its own cover photo. Add a music video made from your own photos.

This is a short sample. A finished song and video run 2.5 to 3 minutes.

    Play it at the party

    After the ceremony, when the family is all in one room.

    Write the link inside. They’ll open it when the day calms down.

    Show the video at dinner

Questions people ask first.

Does it work for any graduation?

Yes: kindergarten, high school, college, a master’s, medical school or a trade certificate. Tell us which, and the lyrics fit the size of the day.

Can the song be from the whole family?

Yes. Collect a memory from each person and tell us who it’s from. One song can carry all of them.

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 about 20 seconds.

We don’t write songs about love. We write songs about a graduation gown two sizes too long.
