Upbeat pop
Their name, as the hook. Bright guitars, punchy drums, and a chorus the whole party knows by the second time.
A custom pop song with their name as the hook
Upbeat pop is the party style: we ask for bright upbeat pop with clean guitars, punchy drums and a joyful singalong chorus, about 118 beats per minute. When the name is the hook, the whole room ends up singing it.
Hear the second a name lands
Oh Joaquin, you make my whole world bright.
You wrote“Runs the Brooklyn half marathon every spring.”
The song singsEvery spring you run the Brooklyn half with pride.
From a real song made here: “Good Morning, Joaquin”, for Joaquin, from what his wife typed.
The moment you give it
It plays once and everyone listens. It plays twice and everyone is shouting the name on the hook. By the third time the birthday person is on the couch, conducting.

Writing for a pop song
Pop lyrics like energy and a little humor, and they forgive exaggeration. Give one funny, specific line ("He runs half marathons and still gets lost on the way home"), one proud one, and one about today. The chorus will do the rest.
Example brief for a pop song
Funny, specific and pointed at the party; the chorus with her name will carry the rest. For a friend’s 30th:
- Jada has captained our bowling alley trivia team for three years and always picks the same terrible team name.
- She runs our group chat like a talk show.
- Thirty this Saturday, and the party is at that same bowling alley.
