01
Tell me the story.
Share the names, memories, personality, places, in-jokes and details that should make it into the song.
Turn the details everyone knows into a birthday song.
Birthdays are full of familiar gifts. A personalised birthday song works differently because the material already exists in the person’s life. The job is to find the details that make everyone listening think, “that is so them.”
It might be the nickname they have had since school, a terrible holiday story, the food they always order, the phrase they repeat, the family tradition they secretly love or the thing everyone teases them about. Those details can become lyrics, hooks and moments in the song.
You can choose a warm, sentimental direction, something big and celebratory, a funny birthday song or a more understated sound. You do not need to write the lyrics yourself — the brief gives me the material to work from.
Names & nicknamesInclude the names, nicknames and people who should feel part of the story.
MemoriesThe best birthday songs often come from small memories rather than big biography.
PersonalityTell me what they are like, what they love and what everyone associates with them.
Your preferred moodFunny, sentimental, celebratory, cinematic, understated or a surprise.
What should you include in a personalised birthday song?
You do not need a life story. A handful of specific, vivid details is usually more useful than a long generic description. Think about the moments your family or friends quote back to each other.
For milestone birthdays or any birthday
A custom birthday song can work for an 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th or 60th, but it does not need to be a milestone. The personal story is what makes the gift work, not the number on the cake.
For Mum, Dad, partners, friends and family
If the birthday song is for a parent, you can also explore the dedicated personalised songs for parents page. For partners, memories from your relationship can give the song a more romantic or reflective direction.
