Make someone their own birthday song.
Tell us about them. We'll write it, sing it and film it.
Hear one first — a dad made this for his daughter.
Birthday songs — the questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no email address and no card. If you would like to give something, give it to Boston Children's Hospital instead — every penny goes to them and none of it comes to us.
What should I write about them?
One specific thing beats a paragraph of praise. A running joke, the thing they always say, the holiday that went wrong — that is what ends up in the words and what makes them recognise themselves.
Does the song mention their age?
No. We ask roughly how old they are only to choose the kind of music they probably grew up loving. The number is never sung and never shown.
Can I change the words before it is sung?
Yes. You see the full lyrics first and can tap any line to rewrite it. Nothing is recorded until you say so.
Here it is.
Have a read. Tap any line to change it. When it sounds like them, let's hear it sung.
Keep roughly the same line length. Changes save automatically.
Takes about two minutes.
Recording it now.
Warming up the band…
Hang on — this bit takes about two minutes. Keep this page open.
That one got away from us.
Something went wrong while we were recording.
