“My mum turns 60 this year. She loves gardening, calls everyone 'love', and her favourite memory with me is us baking together every Sunday when I was little. Warm and emotional.”

Getting started
What makes a great brief?
You don’t need to be a writer. You just need a few real details. The more specific you are, the more personal the song will be. Think: full names, the occasion, the mood you’re going for, and one or two memories or details that only you would know. A great brief might be two sentences or ten — either works.
Below you’ll find example briefs for different moments. Each occasion page breaks down what to include and gives you examples you can adapt.

A personalised birthday song that name-drops them, mentions a milestone, and recalls a real memory will land far harder than any card.

A personalised anniversary song becomes a keepsake. Include how you met, a place that means something to you both, or a line only you two would understand.

A personalised song makes a wedding gift that no one else will give. It can be played at the reception, kept as a keepsake, or both.
“A gift for my sister's wedding. Her partner is called James. They met at university through a mutual friend, love travelling, and their first dance is to a Fleetwood Mac song.”
“A wedding gift to replace a traditional best man speech. We've been mates since school — I want it to be funny, warm, and slightly embarrassing.”
“A wedding gift for a couple who've been together for ten years. It should feel epic and cinematic — they finally made it official.”

Memorial
Memorial and tribute songs
A memorial song becomes a lasting tribute — something to play on anniversaries, share with family, or simply to hold onto.
“In memory of my nan who passed last year. She loved tea, crosswords, and Coronation Street. She was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome.”
“In memory of my dog — a big golden retriever called Biscuit who was with us for 14 years. The mood should be warm and gentle, not too sad.”
“A tribute to my dad, who passed away two years ago. He was a builder, loved rugby, and always said things would work out. I want something that sounds like it could have been his.”
Just because
Just because songs
Some of the best songs we make have no formal occasion. Sometimes a song is simply the clearest way to say what you actually mean.

Father's Day
Father's Day songs
Dads are hard to buy for and harder to say things to. A personalised Father's Day song says it for you — his sayings, his ways, and the thank-you that never quite comes out right.
“For my dad, who drove me to football every Saturday for ten years and never once complained. He says 'measure twice, cut once' about everything. Warm with a bit of humour.”

“First Father's Day for my husband. The song is from our baby daughter's point of view — about the 3am feeds and the way he talks to her. Sweet and funny.”

Christmas
Christmas gift songs
A personalised song is the Christmas gift that can't be re-gifted, returned, or guessed. One song, about them, under the tree.
“A Christmas gift for my wife after a hard year — she held everything together. I want the song to be her moment on Christmas morning. Warm, grateful, a little festive.”
“For my parents' first Christmas as grandparents. From the grandkids' point of view, about Sunday dinners and grandad's burnt mince pies. Joyful and funny.”

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day songs
A personalised Valentine's song says what a card can't. Include how you met, the routines you share, and one line you've never quite managed to say out loud.
“A Valentine's song for my girlfriend of three years. We met at a gig, she steals my hoodies, and she makes even boring errands feel fun. Romantic but playful.”

New baby
New baby songs
A song to welcome a new baby becomes part of the family story — a lullaby with their name in it, made from the hopes you have for them.

Graduation
Graduation songs
A graduation song marks the whole journey, not just the day — the late nights, the doubts, and the person they became along the way.

“My boyfriend finally finished his master's after almost quitting twice. Celebratory but honest about how hard it was.”
“A song for my best friend who graduated nursing school during the toughest year of her life. Uplifting, proud, and a little emotional.”
Apology
Apology songs
An apology song only works if it sounds honest. The strongest briefs are clear about what happened, why it matters, and what you genuinely want to say now.
“I hurt my partner by not showing up when they needed me. I want the song to sound accountable and sincere, not dramatic, and to focus on how much I value what we have.”
“I had a fallout with my sister after being defensive and stubborn. I want to say sorry properly and remind her how important she is to me.”
“I let a close friend down at an important moment. The song should feel honest and reflective, with a hopeful ending if that feels natural.”
