How it works

From your story to their reveal, in four simple steps.

You share a few real memories in a short brief. We write the lyrics, you approve every word, and then we produce the song and wrap it in a private reveal page they can open, play, and keep.

✓ About 5 minutes✓ No account needed✓ You approve the lyrics first

A Song Tailor reveal page: “A song for Katie, from David”, with a tap-to-open cover and a personal note.

01 Tell the story

Six short questions. No account, no music skills.

Who it’s for, their name, the occasion, the sound and voice, their story, and where to send it. Write it like you’re telling a friend — tap a prompt if you get stuck, or let us recommend the sound.

Generic

“Make a romantic anniversary song.”

Unmistakably them

“Sunday chai, the rainy bus stop in 2014, and the phrase she says whenever I leave the room.”

What makes a great brief

  • Names and nicknames — and how to say them
  • One specific memory: a place, a date, a moment
  • A phrase they always say, or an inside joke
  • Anything to leave out — we steer clear of it

Then review the details, choose your package, and pay securely through Dodo Payments. Song Tailor never sees or stores your card details.

02 Approve the lyrics

You read every word before we produce a note.

Right after checkout we draft the lyrics from your brief. Read them, change anything that doesn’t sound like the two of you, and approve when it’s right.

  • Edit any line yourselfSwap a word, fix a name, add the line only you would know.
  • Ask for a fresh draftNot the right angle? Get a new take written from the same brief.
  • Approve, and it’s lockedNothing is recorded until you sign off. Change it later and we wait for your approval again.

03 We produce it

Studio production, then a human producer review.

Your approved lyrics are produced in the sound and voice you chose. On Premium Keepsake and Event Grade, a human producer reviews tone, names, and clarity right after delivery. Event Grade gives you 4 studio takes to choose from.

04 Give the reveal

It arrives like a gift, not a download.

You get a private link to send however you like — a text, an email, or up on a screen at the party. They open a page made for them: their name, your note, the song, and every lyric.

No. The brief is six short questions, and you can let us recommend the sound. Write it like you are telling a friend — a few honest sentences are plenty.

What if the lyrics aren't quite right?

Edit any line yourself or ask for a fresh draft before you approve. Nothing is recorded until you sign off, and if you change the words after approving, we wait for your approval again.

What if I don't love the finished song?

Premium Keepsake includes one free guided revision. Event Grade includes 4 studio takes to choose from and unlimited revisions for 7 days after ordering. Quick Gift includes no revision, but you can add a paid revision ($9) before checkout.

Who can see the song?

Only the people you share the link with. Reveal pages live at unguessable URLs and are not indexed by search engines. We do not publish customer songs, names, or stories without explicit opt-in.

Ready when you are

Start with the story.

The brief takes about five minutes. Concrete details make the final song feel unmistakably theirs.
