Birthdays
They have heard the same birthday song with their name dropped in a hundred times. Give them one written for them.
An AI birthday song generator that writes them their own song
Most birthday song makers drop a name into the same tune everyone knows. This one writes an original two-minute song about the person, from the things you type, and records it in the style you choose.
Hear the second a name lands
Siobhan, you're shining bright today
You wrote“She still beats me at Mario Kart every Christmas.”
The song singsBesting me at Mario Kart, the toughest racer ever seen.
From a real song made here: “Thirty Years of Siobhan”, for Siobhan, from what her younger sibling typed.
The moment you give it
Everyone takes a breath to sing the usual tune. Instead you press play, and an original song names them and the game they always win, and the candles burn down while they listen.

Not the Happy Birthday tune
You will not hear the familiar melody with their name swapped in. You get an original song: verses about them, a chorus with their name, and a birthday line in it if you write one. If you want the classic tune, sing it at the cake; play this before or after.
What to tell the generator
- The age, if it is a big one, written the way you would say it.
- What they did this year: a new job, a race, a move, a baby.
- A thing they love that everyone knows about: a team, a dish, a dog.
- A line from you, like "We are so proud of you".

Free name-insert songs vs an original song
Free birthday apps usually play one pre-recorded tune and drop in a recording of a common name. That works for a quick text to a coworker. It cannot sing about the half marathon, the new puppy or the year they had, and it often has no recording at all for a rarer name.
An original song costs something to keep, because every song is written and sung fresh. In exchange it can say anything true about them, and it handles names that no app has recorded: Saoirse, Xiomara and Nguyen all appear in our samples.
