    Can I use my own lyrics?

 You can! ...for the most part. We love hearing your stories and shared memories in your own words. But, we've found that leaving the song-writing and singing to the professional musicians, is usually a safer bet 😉. 


That said, if you would like your musician to use as many of your submitted lyrics as possible, we can do it. However, there may be times that they need to make tweaks to your words for the sake of the song: rhythm, rhyme, flow, song tempo, etc.


We've found it's best to let our musicians create the lyrics based on your info, rather than exact lyrics given to them. But let us know because we're always up to the challenge!

 We make this real easy for you. You receive your custom song as both an MP3 file, and through your very own private streaming link. Both are included in a well-organized SWY email, allowing you to play your song anywhere, anytime. 


No account or login is ever required to listen to your song. And best yet, it is available for you to play, forever!

    How do I know if I will like my song?

 We want our customers to love their song! Songs With You musicians are a select group of talented and highly acclaimed songwriters hand-picked by founder Griff Jurgens, who has a proven track record and over 45 years of experience in the music business.

    How long are the songs?

Song lengths vary, and we offer different versions of any song you see on our website.


You can expect standard songs to range between 1:32 to 2:00 minutes long and extended songs to be about 1:15-2:00 minutes longer. Each song will have a help bubble with more information.


We understand that in some cases these songs are shorter than typical songs you hear on the radio, but that's because our musicians take the time to create meaningful lyrics from the content you provide. Songs are typically structured as [verse, verse, chorus x2], but it depends on the song style that you prefer. 


You can listen to our song samples on our create a song page.

    Can I see drafts and make edits as my song is being created?

 Our artists usually write, produce, record, and mix their songs in the same session. We are unable to offer back and forth feedback along the way. Rest assured, your song is created with intention and thoughtfulness, using your song submission information.

  • Question mark faq

    Can my song sound like a professional artist I suggest?

 The 3 styles that we provide that are listed on our website are created with various instruments individually (depending on which style you chose). So, trying to recreate the sound of a famous artist isn't exactly what we do here at Songs With You.


Our artists instead focus on creating a song that matches the style you choose, the stories and memories you tell us, then making it into something unique.

    Can I make changes to my song after it's finished?

Our goal is to have every song we deliver be better than you expected on the first try. If we misinterpreted some information, or mispronounced a name, send us an email at support@songswithyou.com and we’ll be happy to coordinate fixes with you.


Note that some more significant changes can be requested but must be recieved wihtin 3-days of delivery, and may require a small fee. Go to our edit my song page for more information and details.
