For his birthday
He says he hates surprises. He means bad ones. This one has his ridiculous nickname in the chorus.
A birthday song for your boyfriend, made from your inside jokes
Guys who say they hate surprises usually mean they hate bad ones. A song about the silly nickname, the road trip and the game night is the good kind, and you can check it before he hears a note.
Hear the second a name lands
Dante, you're my brother and my guide,
You wrote“He loses every FIFA match and still asks for a rematch.”
The song singsYou lose every match but your competitive spirit never tames.
From a real song made here: “A Bond Built to Last”, for Dante, from what his best friend typed.
The moment you give it
He's at his desk eating a sandwich. The song brings up the nickname and the game he always loses, and his coworkers ask why he is laughing at his phone.
Birthday, during his lunch break

Things to put in his song
- His most-used nickname, and whether he admits to it.
- The game, team or console he would choose over most plans.
- The first time he cooked for you, good or bad.
- A trip where something went wrong and became your favorite story.
- Something he does that makes you feel looked after.
- Where he is headed this year: a new job, a move, a goal.
Funny, sweet, or both
The safest mix is two playful lines and one honest one. He laughs through the first verse, and by the time the chorus comes back with his name he knows you meant it.
Sound and voice
Upbeat pop or R&B / soul with a female voice feels like it is coming from you. If he is a country fan, country with a female voice is a fun twist on the usual.
How to give it
- Play it at midnight when his birthday starts.
- Send it before work with a single heart, and let him find his name.
- Save it for the end of dinner, after the gift he expected.
