A custom song for your mom
Somewhere she still has the shoebox with your crayon drawings in it. Tell us what she did and we turn it into a custom song for your mom.
we already set this one to "for my mom"
Why a song, for the woman who says she needs nothing
The macaroni card, grown up
She kept everything you ever made and owns nothing anyone has made her since. A custom song for your mom is the adult version of the drawing on the fridge — made, not bought, and about her.
It does not need an occasion
Mother's Day, a thank-you after the hard year, her retirement, or a random Tuesday because the phone call felt too short. A song fits any of them; flowers only fit one.
It reaches her kitchen
If she is three states or an ocean away, you send a link and she plays it at her table with her coffee. No shipping, no customs, nothing to save for best.
How it works
Three steps, and none of them require you to be musical.
Tell the story
Type it the way you would tell your sister. The casserole, the bus route, the sentence she always says — half-memories are exactly the material.
Pick the sound
Choose a genre, a voice and a language. Read the lyrics we write back and change any line before a single note is recorded.
Give it to her
Two full takes, custom cover art and a gift-ready page. Send the link, or play it in her living room and let her pretend she is not crying.
What a chorus can sound like
You taped my drawings to the fridge like they belonged in a frame — so this is me, still making you something, only now it sings your name.
What to tell us, if you want the song to actually sound like her
A custom song for a mom is built from the things she thinks nobody registered. Not "she sacrificed so much" — every card in the store says that. Write down the double shifts in 1998, the coat she wore for a decade so you could have the new one, the way she still cuts the sandwiches diagonally, the phrase she ends every phone call with. One of those details can carry a whole verse, and the second she hears it she knows this was written about her — not about mothers in general.
Then pick a sound she would actually put on, because a personalized song for your mom should live in her kitchen, not your playlist. A ballad suits the big thank-you and the milestone; folk suits the plain-spoken mom who hums along while she cooks; gospel suits the mom whose music has always lived in church. And match the moment: a just-because song can stay light; a retirement song gets to say the enormous thing out loud, once, properly.
the details that do the work
Things worth putting in
The meal she made every Sunday, and the dented pot she still refuses to replace.
Something she gave up for you that she has never once mentioned.
What she says on the phone right before she hangs up.
One thing she kept — the report card, the ticket stub, the hospital bracelet.
The thank-you you have never managed to get through without your voice breaking.
Pick the style she would actually put on
Tap one and we will start her song in that style.
Questions people ask first
How much does a custom song for a mom cost?
The preview is free and needs no card. Keeping the finished song — both full takes, a high-quality MP3, custom cover art and the gift page — is $9.9 once. Human songwriting services for the same gift typically start near $179.
Is this just for Mother's Day?
No. Mother's Day, a thank-you after she nursed someone through a bad year, her last day of work after 34 years, or no occasion at all. Some of the best ones arrive on an ordinary Wednesday, which is exactly why they land.
Can it be from all of us — the kids together, or the grandkids?
Yes, and those are often the strongest songs. Write the story in "we," fold in one detail per sibling, and sign the cover art from all of you. One song from four kids beats four separate bouquets.
Can I change the lyrics before it is sung?
Yes. We write the lyrics first and show them to you. Edit any line, ask for a different version, and only then is it recorded. Every song also includes one free remake if the result is not right.
Can it be sung in her language?
Songs can be sung in 40+ languages, with a male or female voice — your choice. If she raised you in Spanish or Tagalog and you have drifted into English, a song that comes back in her language is often the part she talks about for years.
What if I do not know what to write?
Start with one object — the pot, the coat, the phone phrase — and say what it meant. Three real details are enough; the lyrics do the arranging. Rough, unfinished sentences work better than polished ones.
