Skip the card aisle this Valentine's
Everyone else is choosing between the same six cards. You're turning the way you met into a song with their name in the chorus.
From A$39 · Hear two versions before you pay · Usually ready in 3–8 minutes
Valentine's Day gifts have a problem: they are all the same gift. A personalised Valentine's song is not. It is written from your first date, the habit of theirs you secretly love, and the inside joke that needs no explanation — and it is sung in whatever genre the two of you actually play in the car. It works at three months, when it should be light, and at thirty years, when it can afford to be a ballad.
Write the story, read every line before it's sung, and hear two recordings so you choose the one that feels right. It arrives as a link — for dinner, for the morning, or for the person on the other side of the world — with a gift page that holds the song, the words and a photo of the two of you.
Hear one first
What a Valentine's Day song sounds like
Ten Years of Paint Colours
Romantic BalladForty Looks Ridiculous On You
PopTen years since that hardware queue
You argued paint, I argued too
Twenty minutes felt like heaven
Didn't want that fight to end
Priya, you're the bravest one I know
You read the last page, won't let go
When my world fell apart that day
You answered every call for me
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
Valentine's Day song ideas
What actually goes in one. Pick a couple — the song only needs two or three true things to stand on.
The first date, as it actually went
The wrong restaurant, the rain, the bit where you both pretended to like the wine. Honest is romantic; a song can carry both.
The habit you'd never tell them you love
How they hum while cooking, the way they say your name when they're tired. It's the verse that makes them look up.
An inside joke the song will keep
Nobody else needs to understand the chorus. That's what makes it yours.
Long-distance, sung across it
Time zones, the airport arrivals hall, the calls that went on till one of you fell asleep. Distance writes good verses.
A new relationship, kept light
Pick the joyful indie or R&B tone and write about the last three months, not the next thirty years. You control every word.
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.
- Your first date — what actually happened
- The tiny habit of theirs you secretly love
- An inside joke that needs no explanation (the song will keep the secret)
- What you want the next year together to feel like
How it works
Making a Valentine's Day 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 Valentine's Day 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.
