What it does with them
How one detail becomes a line.
The kind of thing people type about a thank you, and the kind of line it comes back as. Written examples — the songs above are the real ones.
You writeShe took the kids for a fortnight and never mentioned it
It singsTwo weeks you gave me, and you never once brought it up
You writeHe sat with me in the hospital every evening
It singsEvery evening, that same chair, and never asked for thanks
You writeDrove four hours without being asked
It singsFour hours up the motorway before I even asked
Before you ask
Questions people ask.
Is a song too much for a thank-you?
For a casserole, yes. For someone who took your kids for a fortnight or sat with you in a hospital, a card is the thing that is wrong. Match the gesture to the size of the favour.
Can I send this to a colleague or a teacher?
Yes, and it works best when it stays specific and warm rather than personal. Name the thing they did rather than how you feel about them, and it stays comfortable to receive at work.
What do I write if the favour is hard to describe?
Describe what would have happened without them. That is usually easier than naming what they did, and it is the more affecting version anyway.
Can I send one to a carer, a nurse or a teacher?
Yes, and it works when it stays specific and professional. Name the thing they did rather than how you feel about them, and it stays comfortable to receive at work. Send it to a work address only if nothing in it is private.
Is it appropriate to thank someone who refused payment?
It is arguably the right answer for exactly that person. Someone who will not take money will usually accept something that cost you attention rather than cash, and cannot be handed back.
How do I stop it sounding like an obligation?
Keep it about them rather than about your gratitude. A song that describes what they are like will read as thanks; one that repeats how grateful you are reads as a duty being discharged.
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.
