What it does with them
How one detail becomes a line.
The kind of thing people type about a Father's Day, and the kind of line it comes back as. Written examples — the songs above are the real ones.
You writeHe says we will see, which always means no
It singsWe will see, he says, and we all know what that means
You writeTaught me to drive badly and insists otherwise
It singsYou taught me the clutch and the swearing in equal measure
You writeSpends most of the weekend in the shed
It singsOut in the shed with the radio on, fixing what was not broken
Before you ask
Questions people ask.
Will my dad actually like this?
The honest answer is that it depends on the dad, and the ones who pretend not to care are usually the ones who play it twice. If he hates being the centre of attention, send the link rather than playing it at a barbecue.
Can it be funny?
Yes, and for Father's Day most are. You pick the style, a pub singalong about his DIY lands better than a ballad for a lot of dads.
What if my dad is not into music?
Almost nobody who receives one is. The draw is not the music, it is hearing their own life described accurately with their name in it. Pick a style he would tolerate rather than one he loves.
Can I make one for a stepdad or a father-in-law?
Yes, and say which in the brief so the song does not overclaim. A song that is accurate about the relationship reads as sincere; one that calls someone Dad when nobody does reads as a form letter.
What do I put in if he never talks about himself?
Write what you have observed rather than what he has told you. What he does every Sunday, what he refuses to throw away, the job he did for thirty years and never described. Behaviour is better material than biography.
Is it strange to make one for a new dad?
No, and the first Father's Day is the one most likely to be marked with something forgettable. Write about the version of him that appeared in the last year and it becomes a record of that.
How much does a personalized song cost?
Three lengths: $9 for about a minute, $29 for about two minutes, and $49 for about four minutes, with more re-records and an ending that signs off from you by name. One payment, no subscription.
How long does it take?
Minutes. You answer the questions, read the words, and the recording is made while you wait, there is no queue and no human songwriter to book. Most people finish the whole thing in under a quarter of an hour.
Is it written by a person or by AI?
AI writes and sings it from the details you give. We say so on every page rather than burying it, because you will hear it in the vocal. What is not automated is the part that makes it land: the specifics come from you, and you read the words before you pay.
What if I do not like it?
You see the first verse and chorus before paying, so the usual answer is to change your answers and go again for nothing. After paying, the Little and Big Ditty include re-records if a take comes out wrong.
Can I keep it, and does the link expire?
It does not expire. You get an MP3 to download and a link you can share, and we keep the song indefinitely, there is no window you have to act inside.
Can I play it at a party or an event?
Yes. It comes with a licence to play it at your own event, and the MP3 is yours to hand to a DJ or put on a phone. Use the download rather than the link if the venue wifi is unreliable.
Two minutes to tell their story.
We write it, sing it, and paint the card. You take the credit. From $9.
