An anniversary song about your actual story
Not a love song in general — your first flat, the road trip that went wrong, the thing they still do that made you stay. That's what makes it yours.
From A$39 · Hear two versions before you pay · Usually ready in 3–8 minutes
The playlists for anniversaries are full of beautiful songs about other people. A personalised anniversary song is about the two of you: the flat with the broken boiler, the wedding speech that went on too long, the exact place you were standing when you met. Whether it is your first anniversary or your fortieth, the material is already there — you have been living it.
Tell the story in your own words, read the lyrics, and hear two recordings before you choose one. Play it over dinner, put it on the gift page with your photo of the two of you, or send it across time zones if the day finds you apart. It runs about two minutes (one to three, depending on how much you write), which is about the length of a slow dance in the kitchen.
Hear one first
What a anniversary song sounds like
Mira's First Dance
Romantic BalladTen Years of Paint Colours
Romantic BalladRain at the bus stop, you beside me
Talked until the last bus left
You kept me dry under your umbrella
I knew that night you were my answer
Whatever the weather, I'm staying
You hum while cooking, always playing
Every cinema ticket you saved
That's my Mira, brave and caring
Every line came from a story someone typed in. Yours will read like this — with their name, their details, in the genre you choose.
Ideas
Anniversary song ideas
What actually goes in one. Pick a couple — the song only needs two or three true things to stand on.
How you met, exactly
The venue, the weather, who spoke first. Precise beats poetic — the song will supply the poetry.
The year that tested you
The move, the illness, the long stretch of nothing going right. An anniversary song that admits the hard part is the one that means something.
A ritual nobody else knows about
The Friday takeaway, the crossword, the way you say goodnight. Small and specific is what a partner recognises instantly.
The number of years
Ten, twenty-five, fifty. It can be the chorus or a single line — add it to the story and the lyrics carry it.
What you'd promise again
Vows age. Write what you would say now, knowing what you know, and give the song a last verse worth waiting for.
Pick a direction
Choose the tone, we'll set the dials
Each option starts the wizard with the occasion, genre and mood already selected — you just tell the story.
What to write
Story prompts that make it theirs
You don't need to be a writer — answer two or three of these in plain sentences and the lyrics will do the rest.
- Where you were when you met — the exact place
- A ritual only the two of you have
- The hardest thing you got through together
- What you'd promise again today
How it works
Making a anniversary song, start to finish
Step 1
Tell the story
Answer a few questions about them in plain sentences — the story prompts above are a start. Pick a genre, a voice and a mood, or take one of the anniversary tones.
Step 2
Read the lyrics
The words come back first. Change any line, swap a name, cut a verse — nothing is sung until you've said yes to every word.
Step 3
Hear it, then choose
Two full recordings of your approved lyrics, usually within 3–8 minutes, each about two minutes (one to three, depending on how much you write). Hear the first minute of both free; pay A$39 for the one you keep. It arrives as a gift page and an MP3.
The full price list, what each tier includes and who owns the song are on the pricing page.

Each of these pages has its own prompts, tones and a sample written for that relationship.
