“Ray, Ray, sixty today
Still the first one that I call”

For Ray's 60th birthday, from his daughter. Read the lyrics

What to tell us about your dad

Dads rarely say much about themselves, so you'll have to. Start with one of these:

  1. A lesson he gave you that went sideways: driving, fishing, a flat tire on the highway.
  2. The story he's told so often everyone can finish it for him.
  3. What he's like at the grill, in the garage or in front of the game.
  4. Something he did for you once and never mentioned again.
  5. His nickname for you, and his nickname for the dog.

Songs for people we made up

These people are made up. The music and the voice come from the same AI that sings your song.

  • Church Lot Lessons

    For Ray's 60th birthday, from his daughter. Built on: Sunday driving lessons in the church parking lot.

    Church Lot Lessons

    Read the lyrics

    Verse 1

    You taught me to drive in the church lot

    Every Sunday after three

    You gripped the door and said, "I'm calm"

    In a voice that didn't agree

    Chorus

    Ray, Ray, sixty today

    Still the first one that I call

    When the tire's flat or the news is good

    Or there's nothing new at all

    Verse 2

    You whistle at the grill

    You fix it all with tape

    You hid a twenty in my coat

    Each time I left the state

    Chorus

    Ray, Ray, sixty today

    Still the first one that I call

    When the tire's flat or the news is good

    Or there's nothing new at all

    Bridge

    I've got your stubborn chin

    And all your terrible puns

    Happy birthday, Dad, from your girl

    You're still my favorite one

    Chorus

    Ray, Ray, sixty today

    Still the first one that I call

    When the tire's flat or the news is good

    Or there's nothing new at all

  • Smoke Alarm Christmas

    For Dad (Sam) at Christmas, from his kids. Built on: he burns the cookies every single year.

    Smoke Alarm Christmas

    Read the lyrics

    Verse 1

    Dad's on the ladder again

    With a thousand tangled lights

    He swears this year they'll all come on

    And half are out tonight

    Chorus

    Sam, Sam, the smoke alarm

    Means the cookies are done

    Merriest man on Willow Street

    Worst baker under the sun

    Verse 2

    He wears the reindeer sweater

    The one Mom tried to hide

    He waves to every neighbor

    With a spatula held high

    Chorus

    Sam, Sam, the smoke alarm

    Means the cookies are done

    Merriest man on Willow Street

    Worst baker under the sun

    Bridge

    Same burnt batch, same tangled lights

    Same sweater every year

    Don't you dare get better, Dad

    Stay just like this, right here

    Chorus

    Sam, Sam, the smoke alarm

    Means the cookies are done

    Merriest man on Willow Street

    Worst baker under the sun

A birthday song for dad, from his daughter or son

A birthday song for dad is the most common reason to make one, and the round numbers are a good excuse: 50, 60, 70, 75. The song can come from his daughter, his son, or all the kids at once. Say who it's from, and add a sign-off like "Love, your girl" to have it sung at the end.

Father's Day, his retirement, or just because

The same kind of song works for Father's Day, his retirement party, the day he finally sells the boat, or a random Tuesday when you want to say thanks. If he lives far away, send him the private gift link and stay on the phone while he listens.

Questions people ask

All questions
Will my dad mind that it was made with AI?

Some dads won't care and some will ask. We're open that AI writes and sings every song, so you can be too. What he'll notice is that it's about him: his name, his stories, the details you picked.

Can my brothers and sisters add their own memories?

Yes. Collect a detail or two from each of them before you start and put them all in. The song can name each of you.

Can it sound like it's from me, his daughter?

Yes. Tell us it's from his daughter and the lyrics are written from your side, as his kid. A sign-off such as "Love, your daughter" is sung at the end.

Can his song be in Italian or Spanish?

Yes. Songs are sung in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German or Italian. Choose his language in the questionnaire.

How much is a song for my dad?

The preview is free. The full song, in two versions, is $6.99, paid once.

Can I hear my own song before I pay?

Yes. Your first song's preview is free: you read and edit the lyrics, we sing them in two versions, and you hear 40 seconds of each, with their name and your words, not a stock demo. No payment needed. If you love it, unlock the full song for $6.99 and download both versions as full-length MP3s. After that, each new song uses a credit.

How much does it cost?

Your first preview is free. A song costs $6.99, or less in a pack: 2 songs for $11.99, or 5 for $24.99. You pay once, with no subscription. One credit makes one song, in two versions. See Pricing.

How long does it take?

Telling us about them takes about three minutes. The lyrics usually arrive within a minute or two, and the song is usually ready within five minutes of pressing Sing, so it works for a same-day gift. We email you when it's ready, so you can close the tab.

Is a real person singing?

No. The lyrics are written by AI from your answers, and the song is sung by an AI voice. That's how we can make an original song for one person in minutes, for a few dollars. You read and edit every line before it's sung, and you hear a free preview before you pay.

Can I use the song commercially?

Your song is for personal use: play it at the party, send it to family and friends, and post it on your own social accounts. It isn't licensed for commercial use, like ads, resale or music streaming services. See the License.
