A personalised song for your boyfriend

Write his song - from £33.33

Boyfriends are the hardest brief in gifting. Too practical and it looks like you forgot. Too big and it looks like a hint. What he actually wants is proof that you get him, and a song written about him, in the music he plays in the car, is exactly that.

You send us the story. We write it and record it as a finished track, usually within 48 hours. He gets a song with his name in it. You get to watch his face.

Why it beats the usual boyfriend gifts

• It is in his music, not yours. Indie, rock, hip hop, dance, punk, country. Whatever he plays, that is what his song is.
• It has the details only you know. The gig where you met, the way he talks to the dog, the fact he still cannot parallel park.
• It looks the part. Every song comes with its own cover artwork, so it looks like a proper single. He can play it to his mates and pretend to be embarrassed.
• It is not a hint. No box, no ring, no pressure. A song about him is just a good present.

What it sounds like

Have a listen to "I Would've Given You A Kiss" (rock, Valentine's), "Out Of My League" (rock, anniversary) and "Falling Again and Again" (dance, just because) on our example songs page. All three are real songs, written from real briefs.

How it works

1. Tell us the story. About ten minutes. How you met, what you do together, the stuff you tease him about.
2. Pick his sound. Genre and vocalist. Name a band he loves and we will lean that way.
3. We write and record it. Written from your brief, produced as a finished track, usually within 48 hours.
4. You get the files. The MP3 by email with a printable lyric sheet and cover artwork.

What to put in the brief

• The night you met, and the first thing he said that made you laugh.
• His team, his band, his car, his game. Whichever matters most.
• Something he did that showed you who he is.
• One running joke.
• What you want him to know, in one sentence. That becomes the chorus.

When to give it

Birthdays are the obvious moment, and the birthday song page covers the milestone ones. Anniversaries of the day you met or your first date are a close second, with more on the anniversary song page. Valentine's Day, a graduation, the end of a long placement away, or the week he got the job. If he is the man who has everything, our gift guide on gifts for a boyfriend who has everything puts a song alongside the other options.

Frequently asked questions

What if he is not into romantic music?

Then his song will not be romantic music. Tell us the tone and the genre. Plenty of boyfriend songs are upbeat, funny or straight-up rock tracks with one honest line in the chorus.

Can it be a duet or have a male vocal?

You choose a male or female vocalist when you order. Some partners pick a male voice so it sounds like a band he would listen to.

Can he share it?

Yes. The MP3 is his to keep for personal use, so he can play it to his mates or send it to family.

How fast can I get it?

Within 48 hours, or 24 hours with the delivery upgrade at checkout.

Will the lyrics sound cheesy?

We write from the details you give, in plain words, in the style of the genre you choose. The more specific your brief, the less generic the lyric. Say "no soppy stuff" in the brief if that is the rule.
