Create a custom song
What to decide
- Who the song is for and who it is from.
- Whether the gift should be private or played in front of others.
- The emotional tone: heartfelt, funny, romantic, grateful, nostalgic, or playful.
- The delivery moment: text link, dinner reveal, party, video, or quiet listen.
Avoid thin song briefs
Do not rely on broad phrases like amazing, kind, or special
Use memories that could only belong to this recipient
Pick a genre based on their taste, not the sender's
