What you get

Everything that arrives, from $9.

Written and sung by AI from what you tell us. We say so plainly, because you will hear it and because the part that matters — the details — came from you.

Prices shown in US dollars. In the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand you are charged in your own currency at checkout.

What it does with them

How one detail becomes a line.

The kind of thing people tell us about the person, and the kind of line it comes back as. Written examples — the songs above are the real ones.

You writeHe calls everyone champ

It singsYou call the whole world champ, and somehow you mean it

You writeShe sends three-minute voice notes, never a text

It singsYour voice notes roll in three minutes long, never once a text

You writeWe met queuing for coffee in the rain

It singsWe met in a queue in the rain, and I have told it ever since

Before you ask

Questions people ask.

What exactly do they get?

A song written about them and sung the whole way through, inside a hand-painted e-card with your message on it. They get a link that does not expire and you get an MP3 to download and keep, plus printable keepsakes if you want them.

Can I hear it before I pay?

Yes, and that is the order it happens in. You answer four short questions, we write the words and sing them, and you hear the first verse and chorus for nothing. If it is not them, change your answers and go again before paying anything.

Does it work for any occasion?

Yes. Say what it is for when you write the brief, a birthday, an anniversary, Christmas, a leaving do, a thank you, or nothing at all, and the song is written for that. There is no separate product per occasion.

What if I am bad at describing people?

Most people think they are, and the questions are built for that. Three specific things beat a paragraph of praise: the phrase they always use, the thing that annoys everybody, the day you both bring up. We turn those into the lines.

Can I choose the style and the voice?

Yes. Pick the musical style and whether it is sung by a man or a woman, or leave it on surprise me and the writer picks what suits what you have said about them.

Is it a good gift for someone who has everything?

That is who it is usually bought for. It is the one thing they cannot already own, cannot be bought twice, and is useless to anyone else, which is what makes it land with somebody whose house is already full.

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.
