A song for your son, for the person he's becoming

He'll outgrow the toys and the trainers. A song about who he is right now is one of the few things that gets better with time.

From A$39 · Hear two versions before you pay · Usually ready in 3–8 minutes

A teenage boy in a blue football kit sitting on the pitch with headphones on, one hand to his ear, his mother crouched beside him holding out her phone and smiling, a ball at his feet and goalposts behind.

The trainers will be outgrown by spring. A personalised song for your son is about him as he is right now: the thing he was completely certain about at seven, the day he became recognisably himself, who he is turning into that you did not expect. His name is in the chorus and the detail is yours, so it cannot be mistaken for anyone else's son. Play it at the party now; play it again at his twenty-first and see what happens to the room.

You answer a few prompts in plain sentences, pick a tone from soft to celebratory, read the lyrics and change anything, then hear two complete recordings and keep the one you pay for. It arrives the same day as a private page and an MP3 that never expires — so a song made for a graduation or a birthday is still there, unchanged, a decade on.

What to write

Story prompts for a song about your son

You don't need to be a writer — answer two or three of these in plain sentences and the lyrics will do the rest.

  • The day they arrived, or the day they became themselves
  • What they were completely obsessed with at six
  • Something they say that stops you in your tracks
  • What you were afraid of that turned out fine
  • Who they're becoming that you didn't expect
  • What you hope they keep
