    How do I create a custom song for someone?

 At Songs With You, you provide a story, memory, or some interests about a person, and we turn it into a meaningful song. First, you need to choose a song style, a vocalist, then you will be prompted to directed to our song submission form.


Once this is received, our musicians will begin to write, produce, and record the song based on the information you provided.

Our OG (original) collection of song styles cost $179 (USD) for a completely original song. No taxes, no hidden fees, just good music from good people.

    Can I use my own lyrics?

We love hearing your stories, interests, messages about love and caring, and other must have's in your song submission. But, we've found that singing your song word-for-word isn't quite as fun.


We've found it's best to let our musicians create the lyrics based on this info, rather than exact lyrics given to them.

    How is the song delivered?

 We want to make your song as quickly and easy to play as possible. So, you will receive your song as both an MP3, and also as a personal streaming link. Both will be sent via email, allowing you to play your song anywhere, anytime.


No account or login will ever be required to listen to your song. And it will be available 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.
