Three steps to something they'll keep.
Tell us about them
Their name, what they mean to you, the occasion you're marking, and any specific memory, quality, or detail that only someone close to them would know.
We write it for them
Not a template with blanks filled in. A piece built from what you share: their name in the lines, your relationship in the tone, this specific moment in the words.
Send it. Play it. Frame it.

Common questions
Before you order.
How personal will it actually be?
+
Very. Every piece is built from what you share: their name, your relationship, the occasion, and any specific memory or detail you give us. It's not a template with blanks filled in.
What information do I need to give you?
+
Their name, your relationship to them, the tone you want (funny, heartfelt, both), a memory or quality specific to them, and any detail you want us to draw from. Most people take 3–5 minutes on the form.
Can I order this for any occasion or relationship?
+
Yes. Any occasion, any relationship. You tell us who they are to you and what you're marking; we write from there.
Can I request something funny?
+
Absolutely. Tone is one of the first things you choose. Playful, roast-adjacent, warmly funny. All fair game. Tell us what kind of reaction you're going for.
How long does it take to receive the song?
+
Standard orders are delivered to your inbox within 24 hours. Choose expedited at checkout for an extra $4.99 and it arrives within one hour.
What if I'm not happy with it?
+
We'll rewrite it. Every piece passes a quality review before delivery. If what arrives still doesn't feel right, tell us and we'll write it again at no charge.
Can I add this to Apple Music or Spotify?
+
Yes, your song is yours. You can add it to Apple Music, Spotify, or any music app you use. We recommend Googling "how to add an mp3 to [your app]" to find the best way to do it for your system.
Can this be printed or framed?
+
Yes. We deliver your song and a digital version of the lyrics. While we can't provide printing or framing, you can use Etsy or other print on demand services for that.
One story. One ballad. Kept forever.
Every story worth living
is worth writing down.
The ballad turns a moment into something that lasts.
