Make a personalised birthday song with Songilingy

Gifting a custom song is a memorable way to celebrate a birthday. With Songilingy you'll follow a simple, structured creation flow — generate free samples, then unlock the finished song only if you love it. This guide walks you through each field so your finished track sounds personal and right for the recipient.

How to create your song (step-by-step)

1. 1) Who is this song for?

   Select the recipient or subject. This is the name or relationship you want the song to address — it helps the AI shape the voice and references.

   Example field values:

   • Mum
   • Alex
   • Best friend
   • Grandad
   • Daughter

2. 2) Occasion

   Choose the occasion from the fixed list. For this tutorial, select Birthday so the song clearly reflects the celebration.

   How to act: choose Birthday from the Occasion menu.

3. 3) Genre(s)

   Pick one genre, or toggle Mix Genres to combine styles. The genre sets the instrumental vibe and pacing.

   Suitable genre ideas for birthdays (choose one or toggle Mix Genres):

   • Pop
   • Disco
   • Funk
   • Indie Pop
   • EDM
   • Latin Pop
   • House
   • R&B

   How to act: select a single genre, or tap Toggle Mix Genres and pick several to blend styles.

4. 4) Vocals

   Choose Male, Female, or let the AI decide. This selection guides the voice character of the sung performance.

   How to act: select Male, select Female, or select AI Decide depending on the desired vocal tone.

5. 5) Description (add the personal details)

   Enter a short description with memories, events and inside jokes you want the song to include. Be specific about the tone — silly, sentimental, upbeat — and any references that matter.

   What to include as field values:

   • Shared memories (first holiday, a funny mishap)
   • Nicknames and inside jokes
   • Age or milestone (if it’s a 30th, 50th, etc.)
   • Favourite hobbies, foods or catchphrases
   • Desired mood: upbeat, mellow, cheeky, nostalgic

   How to act: enter details concisely and clearly in the Description box. The AI uses these specifics to personalise lyrics and musical cues.

Tips and frequently asked questions

Mixing genres — how to choose

If you want a fresh sound, toggle Mix Genres and pick complementary styles — for example, Pop with Disco for an upbeat party track, or Indie Pop with Acoustic flavours for a more intimate feel. Keep your choices focused so the result isn’t musically confused.

What to put in the Description

• Prioritise a few clear details rather than a long essay. Two or three strong memories work better than a list of everything.
• Mention the mood and tempo you imagine (cheeky and fast, warm and mid-tempo, reflective and slow).
• Include names, nicknames and specific events you want referenced. These are the most recognisable personal touches.

Which vocal option should I choose?

Select Male or Female depending on the voice you think suits the song. If you’re unsure, choose AI Decide and let the system pick a voice that fits the genre and description.

Can I hear the song before I pay?

Yes. Songilingy follows the "Only pay if you love it" model: you can generate samples for free and listen to them. If you like the result, unlock the final song. Try examples to get inspiration on the style and quality at https://songilingy.com/samples.

Why doesn't Songilingy accept freeform prompts?

Songilingy uses a strict, structured creation flow to ensure consistent, high-quality results. Rather than freeform prompts, you complete the fixed fields (recipient, occasion, genre/mix, vocals, description) in that order to shape the final song.

Quick checklist before you generate a sample

• Recipient filled in (name or relationship)
• Occasion set to Birthday
• Genre or Mix Genres selected
• Vocals chosen
• Description contains 2–3 personal details and the desired mood
