Hip-hop style
Boom-bap drums, real stories in the verses, their name first on every hook. A ballad was never going to cover it.
A custom rap song, with their name on every hook
Pick hip-hop on the form and you get rapped verses over boom-bap drums, then a sung chorus that opens with their name. The bars are built from what you type about them, so the punchlines are your inside jokes, not stock rhymes.
Comes with a vertical lyric video for TikTok and Reels
Hear the second a name lands
Siobhan, you're shining bright today
You wrote“She moved to Chicago at 22 with one suitcase and a cactus.”
The song singsSiobhan, you had one little suitcase and a cactus in hand.
From a real song made here: “Thirty Years of Siobhan”, for Siobhan, from what her younger sibling typed.
The moment you give it
The beat comes in hard. The first verse is the suitcase-and-a-cactus move, the hook says their name twice, and someone on the street asks who the song is about. They put their hand up.
NAME ON THE HOOK · STORY IN THE BARS · NAME ON THE HOOK · STORY IN THE BARS ·
Block party, the cypher · Driveway, a borrowed speaker, the whole street listening
Start with one memory
Pick a question. The form opens with your first line already started.
Every style has a voice of its own
These singers are fictional and AI-made, pictured in a studio, on a stage and behind the decks. Your song is sung by an AI voice in the style you pick.
Hear two real raps
A 30th-birthday rap for Siobhan with a female voice, and a male-voice birthday rap for Marcus, the best driver in the passenger seat.

What the hip-hop style sounds like
Feel-good hip-hop at about 92 beats per minute: punchy boom-bap drums, a warm bass line and a confident rap vocal, female or male. Each verse runs eight bars and the chorus is sung, so the song has something to rap along to and something to hum.
It is a celebration track, not a battle track. The lyrics stay clean: no swearing, no roasting, nothing you would mind a grandparent hearing at the party.
Rap lyrics: details that make good bars
- A nickname, especially one with a story behind it.
- A skill they show off: free throws, bowling, parallel parking, grilling.
- A place that is theirs: the court, the corner booth, the garage.
- A win they are proud of, big or small: a new job, a first apartment, a degree.
- A habit everyone teases them about.
- Numbers rap well: an age, a jersey number, a year, a street.
How the name holds up in a rap
Fast delivery is where names usually go wrong, so we tested it. In our listening checks Siobhan, Aoife and Nguyen all came through clearly in rapped verses, using the same respellings the singer gets for sung songs. If a name of yours still lands wrong, you can re-record once for free.
The whole rap is written out next to the preview, so you can read every bar before paying. If one misses, change that detail and use the free re-record; once you keep the song, the lyrics come as a sheet you can print for the party.
For example
The Siobhan sample on this page started from three lines her sibling typed:
- She moved to Chicago at 22 with one suitcase and a cactus.
- She runs the family group chat and never forgets a birthday.
- She still beats me at Mario Kart every Christmas.
