“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 every occasion. Feel free to use them as a starting point, or let them spark an idea of your own.
Birthday
Personalised birthday songs
A personalised birthday song that name-drops them, mentions a milestone, and recalls a real memory will land far harder than any card.
“My best friend is turning 30. He's obsessed with football, terrible at cooking, and we've been mates since we were 7. Keep it upbeat and a bit funny.”
Use this idea →“My daughter is turning 18 and heading to university in September. The mood should be proud and emotional — something she can keep forever.”
Use this idea →Anniversary
Custom anniversary songs
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.
“Ten years married to my husband. We met on a hiking trip in Scotland, got engaged at the same spot two years later, and we have two dogs named after Star Wars characters.”
Use this idea →“First anniversary with my girlfriend. She moved countries to be with me. I want to say thank you in a way that actually captures what that means. Heartfelt.”
Use this idea →“25 years together. I want to surprise my wife with a song that covers how we built our life — from our tiny first flat to where we are now.”
Use this idea →Wedding
Wedding gift songs
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.”
Use this idea →“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.”
Use this idea →“A wedding gift for a couple who've been together for ten years. It should feel epic and cinematic — they finally made it official.”
Use this idea →Friendship
Songs for a friend
Friendships don't get enough celebration. A personalised song for a friend — for a birthday, a milestone, or just because — is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.
“My best friend just got a big promotion after years of hard work. I want to celebrate her with a song that's uplifting and makes her feel truly seen.”
Use this idea →“My oldest friend is moving abroad. I want to give her something to remember our friendship by — funny memories, inside jokes, and a bit of an emotional ending.”
Use this idea →“My friend has been going through a hard time. I want a song that tells her she's not alone and that I'm proud of who she is.”
Use this idea →Thank you
Thank you songs
Say it in a way that's hard to forget. A personalised thank-you song works for a teacher, a mentor, a parent — anyone who deserves more than words.
“A thank you for my teacher who went above and beyond when I was really struggling. She's warm, patient, and I genuinely don't think I'd have got through that year without her.”
Use this idea →“My dad has always been there for me and I've never really told him properly. Honest and emotional — something he could play in the car.”
Use this idea →“A thank you to my business partner. We've built something together and I want to mark the milestone in a real way.”
Use this idea →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.”
Use this idea →“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.”
Use this idea →“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.”
Use this idea →Just because
Just because
Some of the best songs we make have no occasion. Sometimes a song is the only way to say what you actually mean.
“I want to tell my partner I love them in a new way. We've been together five years and I want the lyrics to reference our routines, our flat, and what our life actually looks like.”
Use this idea →“My mum is having a tough year. Nothing specific — I just want her to know I see her and I'm proud of her.”
Use this idea →“I want to make a song for someone I've never been able to say the right thing to. I want the lyrics to do it for me.”
