A song for Ruth
Think about the last time Ruth heard her own name sung. Probably in a rushed "Happy Birthday", in chorus, over the cake. That's it.
A personalized song changes that: the name comes back in every chorus, and the verses tell your story — how you met, what you've been through together, what makes her laugh. It's built from your answers to a few minutes' worth of questions and arrives by email the same day, with two versions to choose from.
How "Ruth" sounds in a chorus
One simple rule separates good personalized songs from cringeworthy ones: the name has to be replaceable with "my love" without the line collapsing. If the line still stands, the name belongs there; if it doesn't, it's only there for the rhyme.
So we build the line first and rest the name on it: "With Ruth beside me I'm not afraid of anything" — a line that would fit in any good song, except here it's her. In the chorus the name returns with every repetition; in the verses it appears when the story calls it, not on a quota.
You can ask for the full name, the nickname, or both — many people pick the full name in the chorus and the nickname in a verse, the way it goes in real life.
What to put in the story for Ruth
You don't need writing talent — you need memory. Here's what good verses go looking for in your story:
Places: where you met, where you always go back to, the hometown she misses. People: the kids, the grandkids, the old crew — their names can appear in the verses next to her. Time: how many years it's been, which anniversary this is, what's changed since. And the heart: what you'd want Ruth to hear from you, said once, sung.
Write it loose, fast, out of order — it doesn't matter. Out of everything you give us, we pick what sings best.
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 Ruth 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 grandma, on her 80th. I put her home town and all the grandkids’ names in the story. The whole family listened at the table — it was THE moment of the night.
I used it for the proposal. A song with our story, delivered within minutes. She said YES. Thank you!
A surprise for my husband. Lyrics with his name and our family joke in them. He played it ten times the first day.
