Custom happy birthday song with their name

A personalized birthday song with their name

The classic happy birthday song is the same for everyone. A personalized one is not: it is written from what you tell us. We sing their name in the chorus, and if their name is unusual you can tell us how to say it, so the singer gets it right. The verses come from your answers: how you met, a place or a habit that is only yours, and what you love most about them.

The details are what make it theirs. "Twelve years of friendship, a road trip, and the pancakes Maya always burns" turns into a song she knows is about her from the first line.

How to make a custom birthday song

1. Tell us who it is for. Their name, how to say it, and who they are to you: partner, mom, dad, best friend, kid, or even your dog or cat.
2. Share a few real details. How you met, a moment only you two get, what you love about them, and one line you want them to hear in the chorus.
3. Pick the sound. Acoustic ballad, pop, R&B, country, rock, hip-hop, jazz or a lullaby; romantic, sweet, upbeat, funny or emotional; a female or male voice.
4. Read and edit the lyrics. Change any word, then listen to two 30-second versions of the chorus for free and pick the one that sounds like them.
5. Wrap it and send it. Choose how they unwrap it, add a note and a photo, and send the private link by WhatsApp, iMessage or anywhere else.

Birthday song ideas for everyone you love

For your partner: a romantic or sweet song about the first date, the trip you still talk about, the small habit you secretly love.

For mom or dad: a warm country or acoustic song about what they did for you growing up. One of our samples is about a mom who ran behind her son's bike and cried when he left for college.

For a best friend: an upbeat or funny song full of inside jokes, perfect for a 30th or 40th birthday.

For a kid: a lullaby or a bouncy pop song with their name, their favourite toy and the animal they love.

For a dog or cat: a playful song about the socks they steal and the window they wait at. Pets get their own questions.

What they get

They get a private gift page: a wrapped gift with their name on it, your note, then their song with the lyrics shown as it plays. They can download the full song, about 3 minutes long. With the $39 package, a 15-second music video made from your photo plays when the chorus comes, and you can post it to Stories or TikTok.

How much does a custom happy birthday song cost?

A song gift is $29, and a song with a 15-second music video is $39. It is a one-time payment with no subscription, and you hear the song before you pay. Songs written by hand by a songwriter usually cost far more and take several days. See all the details on our song gifts page.
