Story & lyricsLike a sound? Use it as a template. Your song will use your own story and lyrics.
Start with the things only you two remember.
You don’t need an extraordinary year. A familiar detail often says more than another line about being in love.
- A moment you still talk about
- The honeymoon detour, the move in the rain, or the wedding speech your dad still apologizes for.
- Something that became “your thing”
- Sunday pancakes, competing over the thermostat, or the message they send before a late shift.
- What you want them to know
- What they helped you through. What you admire. What you’re looking forward to doing together.
Instead of “you always support me,” try:
“You drove forty minutes with my interview shoes because I’d left them by the front door.”
Write it just as you’d tell a friend. You can check the lyrics before the music is made.
If the year was difficult, say how much of that belongs in the song. A private gift can include things you wouldn’t play in front of the family.
Make it. Hear it. Give it your way.

What is the traditional first wedding anniversary gift?
Paper is the traditional gift for the first wedding anniversary. Printing the lyrics of a song made for your spouse is one way to use that tradition. You can give the print with a QR card that opens your song’s gift page. The print files are included when you unlock your song; printing and framing are up to you.
What should I put in a first anniversary song?
Choose a few details your partner will recognize: a moment from the wedding, something that happened in your first year, and what you love about being married to them now. Names, places and little habits help. You don’t need to write rhyming lyrics or tell your entire relationship story.
Can I include my wedding vows or write the lyrics myself?
Yes. You can mention a line from your own vows in your story, or use the own-lyrics option if you want to write the words yourself. You can read and edit the lyrics before creating the music. Shorten a long vow to the part you most want your partner to hear.
Does it have to be a slow love song?
No. Choose a style your partner enjoys, from country and acoustic to upbeat pop or soul. You can also pick a Songilingy sample as a music template. Your song uses your story and lyrics, and the template gives the music a direction.
Can I hear it before paying, and change the words?

One year in. Plenty worth singing about.
