Hear a mother-son wedding dance song
A slow piano ballad from the single mom who raised him, asking for one more dance before she lets him go.
Dance With Me, Mijo
From his mom, for his wedding day
Mateo's mom raised him on her own from age three and slept on the couch for six years so he could have the bedroom. The ballad remembers free sunsets over the Sandias and his grandmother's cumbia records, then sends him off with Grace.
The detail it is built on: She would do it all again, every creaky spring of that couch.

An original Songilingy example. The people and story in it are fictional. A sound you choose guides the music; your song uses your own story and lyrics.
From mom, dad or both of you
From a mother
For a song from a mother to her son, think of a memory you share and something you admire about him today. Include what you call him, a family saying, or the words you want him to hear.
Make a song from momFrom a father
It could be the drives to practice, the job you tackled together, or the day he helped you instead. Tell him what those moments mean to you.
Make a song from dadFrom both parents
Each of you can add a favorite memory. Write it as a shared message, or give each parent a verse and use the chorus for what you both want to say.
Make a song from usWhat to put in his song
A few sentences are enough to start. Tell us what happened, who was there and why you remember it. You can write in plain words or bring your own lyrics.
Tell him you’re proud.
For example: “You gave your goalkeeper gloves to the boy who was always picked last.”
Remember him growing up.
For example: “You used to fall asleep before we reached the end of our street. Now you’re the one driving me home.”
For his birthday, graduation or next big step
His birthday
Add his name, a favorite memory and something he’ll laugh about. For an adult son, include a little of the life he’s built, too.
Graduation
Remember what it took to get here: the late nights, the setbacks, the people who helped. Then tell him what you wish for his next chapter.
His wedding
A mother-son dance or a message from both parents can welcome the person he’s marrying, too. Listen to the full song and test the MP3 with the DJ before the day.

Looking for a song to dedicate?
These familiar songs suit different moments. Check the full lyrics and who’s speaking before choosing one.
A father’s song for a young son. It names Sean, so check whether that detail fits your dedication.
A country song about a son growing up. It looks ahead to romance and fatherhood as well as childhood.

A grown son remembering his mother’s advice. It’s told from the son’s point of view.
Your questions
What should a mother include in a song for her son?
His name or nickname, a memory you both know, and what you want to tell him now. It could be pride, encouragement, a thank-you or a birthday wish. Write as you’d speak to him; you can edit the lyrics before the song is made.
What can I say in a song for my grown-up son?
Talk about the person he is today as well as the child you remember. Mention something you admire, a moment you still laugh about, or how he’s helped you. Our sample Porch Light is a mother’s song for her son as he moves into his first place.
Can I make a birthday song using his name and our memories?
Yes. Add his name, the age he’s turning if you’d like it included, and a few details about him. You can make it playful, upbeat or sentimental, in a style he enjoys. Cardboard Orbit is our example of a tenth-birthday song from both parents.
Can I hear the whole song before paying?
Yes. After creating a free account, you can listen to two complete sung versions without entering card details. If you find one you love, unlock your chosen song for US$29.99. It’s a one-time payment with no subscription.
Can I change the lyrics or correct a name’s pronunciation?
You can edit the lyrics before the music is generated. After unlocking, three lyric or pronunciation revisions are included. Each revision uses the original as a reference but creates a new performance, so the melody, timing or delivery may change. How song revisions work

Yes. Download the MP3 to play at a party, or send a personal reveal page with your message and up to 30 photos. You can also print the lyrics and a QR card that opens the reveal. The reveal plays in a browser; it isn’t a downloadable video. See how to make a reveal page
