Tips for a Better Song

  • Include the recipient's first name — it makes the song feel genuinely personal
  • Add a specific memory rather than a general description
  • Mention the occasion clearly so the tone fits
  • Don't worry about writing perfectly — the AI will shape your notes into natural lyrics
  • If you have a phrase or lyric you love, include it — the AI can work it in
  • For funny songs, mention specific jokes or shared references
  • For emotional songs, describe how you feel about the person
  • You can re-run the generator if you want a different interpretation
