01 / The person

Start with who matters.

Help us get the names, occasion and point of view right.

Use the name or nickname you would like us to use.

This helps the lyrics use the right “I,” “we” and “you.”

Write them the way you say them. Capital letters can show the stressed syllable.

02 / The story

Give us a moment to bring to life.

Everyday details often make the most personal lyrics.

A sentence in your own words is enough. This becomes the heart of the song.

Up to 500 characters

Where were you? What happened? Add one detail you can picture, hear, or remember. One or two connected moments work well.

Up to 1,200 characters

A small habit, an inside joke, a familiar phrase or something you admire.

Up to 600 characters
