How to Write the Perfect Song Brief
The secret to an incredible custom song? A great story. Here's how to write one our team can transform into music magic.
Start With the Emotion
Before you write anything, ask yourself: What do I want this song to make someone feel? Joy? Nostalgia? Love? Gratitude? Start there.
Include Specific Details
- Names and nicknames — makes it immediately personal
- Specific memories — "that rainy night in Melbourne" beats "a special night"
- Inside jokes — these create the biggest emotional reactions
- Sensory details — what you saw, heard, smelled
Choose Your Vibe
Think about genre (Pop, Country, R&B, EDM, Jazz), mood (happy, romantic, bittersweet), voice type (male, female, duet), and tempo (slow ballad or upbeat anthem).
Examples That Work
Bad: "Write a happy birthday song" Great: "My daughter Emma turns 16. She loves dancing, her golden retriever Max, and dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Make it fun and upbeat with a pop/EDM feel."
