Your birthday at home
For the night you order your favourite takeaway, light one candle and want something more personal than a card from the supermarket.
For yourself
A song about your own life, written for you.
Your birthday is coming, and another dinner, bunch of flowers or gift card does not quite say what this year means. Answer a few questions about the places, people, habits and turning points that made you. We turn them into an original, studio-quality song and send it to your inbox, ready for your date.

Why make your own birthday song?
When your birthday comes around, people usually ask what you want, then reach for the safe answers: dinner, clothes, a bottle, a voucher. Those things can be useful, but they do not hold the story of the year behind you. A commissioned song can mention the flat you finally bought, the night shift you left, your sister in the front row, or the phrase you say whenever plans go wrong. If you are wondering how to write a song about yourself, you only need to tell us what happened in your own words.
It also gives the occasion a shape. Play it before the candles, send it to friends who cannot make the meal, or listen alone on the drive home after everyone has gone. The song can hold the things you are proud of, the bits you laugh about now, and the promise you are making for the year ahead. A card gets signed once. A playlist gets skipped. This stays tied to this birthday, this age and this version of you.
Your details lead every line
Tell us about the bus route you take, the people you call first and the sentence your friends quote back to you. Those answers shape the lyrics.
A birthday gift from you
Buy it for your own birthday, then choose whether to play it at dinner, send it round the group chat or keep it for yourself.
Mark the year properly
Capture the new job, the move, the breakup, the marathon or the quiet decision that changed how this year felt.
Read before production
The lyrics arrive for you to read and change before the track is produced. You stay in control of what gets said.
Ready when the date is close
Standard delivery is within 24 hours. Rush Delivery at checkout brings it instantly when your birthday has crept up.
Keep it beyond the occasion
You receive the finished track, written lyrics, private share page and full-quality download for personal use.

Six reasons people commission their own song
The occasion may be public, private, loud or completely yours. Start with the reason this date matters, then give the lyrics the evidence.
A milestone birthday
Thirty, forty, fifty or sixty deserves more than a number on a cake. Put the people, wrong turns and wins around it into a song.
A new chapter
Mark the first birthday after a move, a new job, a separation or a decision to start doing things differently.
A solo celebration
If you are taking yourself away for the weekend or booking the table for one, make the occasion feel deliberately chosen.
A song for your future self
Write from who you are now and leave yourself a record to play next year, when the current worries have changed shape.
A birthday shared with friends
Ask friends for their phrases, stories and descriptions, then turn the answers into a track to play when everyone arrives.
What people heard on their own date
“I'll admit, I was pretty skeptical at first, but this turned out to be the best gift I've ever given my wife. You truly won't be disappointed!”
“They took the simple words and memories I shared and turned them into a beautiful song. I was in tears within seconds of hearing it. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything better.”
“I had this song created for my husband's birthday. The song they created is so beautiful. I even played it for my friend, and she actually cried. That's how special it is.”

Questions, answered
How do I write a song about yourself for my birthday?
Start by answering questions about your own year, relationships, habits, places and plans. You do not need to write lyrics or find rhymes. The quiz gathers the raw details, you choose the musical style, and you can read and revise the lyrics before the finished track is produced.
What should I put in a song about my own life?
Include details that prove the song belongs to you: the café where you spend Sunday mornings, your brother’s nickname, the job you left, a phrase you repeat or the trip that changed your plans. Add what you want to say about the year ahead. Concrete details make the lyrics sound like your life.
Is it strange to commission a song for myself?
No. People order one for their birthday, a milestone, a new chapter or a private celebration. You can play it for a room full of friends, send it to people who are far away, or keep it as a record of who you were at this point in your life.
Can I make my own birthday song funny?
Yes. Choose Funny & Playful as the mood and include the material your friends already use: your terrible sat-nav decisions, the dog you treat like a child or the takeaway order everyone knows. You can also choose a serious mood if the date marks something personal or difficult.
Will I see the lyrics before my song is produced?
Yes. The lyrics are shown to you before production, so you can check names, facts, tone and any line that does not sound like you. Ask for changes before the track is made, then use your included revisions afterwards if you want to refine it further.
How quickly can my birthday song arrive?
Standard delivery is within 24 hours. Rush Delivery is available at checkout and brings the finished song instantly, which helps when your birthday dinner is tomorrow or you only remembered the date after the invitations went out.
What do I receive after ordering?
You receive a produced song of roughly three to four minutes, the written lyrics, a private page to play and share it, a full-quality download for personal use and delivery by email. Unlimited revisions are included for 30 days from delivery.
Can I change the song if it does not sound like me?
Yes. Request as many changes as needed during the 30-day revision period, including lyric details, mood or vocal direction. If the requested changes are not made within that window, you receive a full refund. The short version is: unlimited revisions, or a full refund.
