For your boyfriend
You remember what he wore on the first date. He remembers what he ordered. Put both in a song.
An anniversary song for your boyfriend
A dating anniversary is about the beginning: the first date, the first time he met your friends, the first trip. Give the song those firsts and it becomes something he can play every time he misses you.
Hear the second a name lands
Theo, you are my favorite place to go
You wrote“Our first date was a picnic in a thunderstorm, and we ate soggy sandwiches in his car.”
The song singsEating soggy sandwiches, Theo, with you
From a real song made here: “Our First Key”, for Theo, from what his girlfriend typed.
The moment you give it
You take him back to the place of the first date and order exactly what you had. Then you slide one earbud over. The song is about that night, and he can't believe you remembered the rain.
One year · back where it started
Table for two, again
Same spot as the first date
Reenactment encouraged. Same order required.
Start with one memory
Pick a question. The form opens with your first line already started.

The firsts to write about
- The song or show you always argue about.
- Your first date: where, what you ordered, what went wrong.
- The first message that made you think this might be something.
- The first time he met your family, or your dog.
- Your first trip together, even if it was an hour away.
- The nickname you have for him.
- How long it has been: six months, one year, three.
For example
A girlfriend writing for a one year anniversary might type:
- Our first date was mini golf in Phoenix and he lost on purpose, badly.
- He drove four hours to bring me soup when I had the flu.
- He calls me Bean and I still do not know why.
Style and voice
Upbeat pop and acoustic pop keep a dating anniversary light. Pick a female voice if you want it to sound like you singing to him, or R&B / soul for something closer and slower. Country suits a boyfriend who drives with the windows down.
Giving it to him
- Text him the MP3 the morning of your anniversary with a one-line message.
- Play it in the car on the way to your anniversary dinner.
- Save it for the end of the night, once the restaurant is behind you.
- If you are apart that day, play it to him on a call.
