A song for Charlotte
There's a moment at every party when the music pauses for a second between songs. If, in that second, a track starts that opens with Charlotte's name, nobody forgets the rest of the night. It isn't a song "dedicated to" her — it's a song about her: your story in the verses, the name in the chorus, the style of music that actually plays in your house.
The form takes a few minutes: pick the style, tell us what you've lived through together, and the song lands in your inbox with two versions. The speaker does the rest.
How "Charlotte" sounds in a chorus
The name isn't glued to the end of a line to rhyme with whatever's nearby. It sits in the sentence where you'd naturally say it: "Tonight I'm singing for Charlotte, for everything we've been" sounds like a real dedication; "...and then I drove back home, Charlotte" sounds like a forced rhyme — and that's exactly what we avoid.
In practice the name is heard three or four times per song: at least once in every chorus, plus in the verses where the story calls for it. Enough that Charlotte hears her name at every chorus, not so much that it turns into a jingle.
If the people who love her use another form — a nickname, a pet name — write it in the form and that's what gets sung. A nickname often lands on the beat better than the full name.
What to put in the story for Charlotte
You choose the tone: there are songs for crying and songs for laughing, and both come out well.
For the tears, give us the big moments: the sacrifices Charlotte made without complaining, the road she traveled, what she meant to you in the hard years. For the laughs, the opposite: the habits the whole house jokes about, that one disaster at the beach, the joke you've been running on her for years.
The best songs mix both: two warm verses, one that gets the laugh, and the chorus with Charlotte's name over all of it. Tell us the ratio in the form — or let the story decide.
How ordering works — 4 steps, a few minutes
It's simpler than it sounds: we're not asking for talent or time.
In the form you pick the style and the voice, then describe Charlotte the way you would to a friend — who she is, what makes her happy, what moment you're celebrating. We turn what you wrote into lyrics and music. Within minutes, by email, two versions ready to download.
From $14.99 — less than a bouquet that lasts three days, for a song that stays in the family for years.

What customers say
For my grandpa, on his golden wedding anniversary. His story in the lyrics, delivered by email. Both of them welled up. So worth it.
Fast, personal, and much cheaper than I expected. For $14.99, an original song with the person’s name in it — incredible.
Got my brother a track for his graduation. Brilliant. I had to reword the story a little, but the second version was exactly what I wanted.
