How to Get a Custom Birthday Song with Their Name (Under £10)

There's something magical about hearing your name in a song. Not a generic "Happy Birthday" — an actual, properly produced song about you, with your name, your stories, and the things that make you who you are.

That used to be something only celebrities could afford. Not anymore.

The Problem with "Happy Birthday"

Don't get us wrong — "Happy Birthday to You" is a classic. But it's also the same song everyone gets. There's nothing personal about it. Swap out the name and it works for literally anyone on the planet.

What if you could give someone a birthday song that's genuinely about them?

Create a Personalised Birthday Song in Minutes

With MelodyBolt, here's how it works:

Step 1: Tell Us About Them

Share the birthday person's name, their personality, funny stories, inside jokes, hobbies — anything that makes them them. The more detail, the better the song.

Step 2: Choose a Style

Pop? Rock? Country? Hip hop? Jazz? We've got loads of genres. Pick whatever suits the birthday person best. If your dad's a classic rock fan, we'll make him a rock anthem. If your best mate loves grime, we've got that too.

Step 3: Get Your Free Preview

Within minutes, you'll have a 45-second preview of the song. Their name is in the lyrics. Their stories are woven into the verses. It's genuinely about them.

Step 4: Love It? Download It

If you love the preview, pay just £9.99 and get the full song instantly. If not, try again or walk away — no charge.

What Makes These Songs Special

Our AI doesn't just drop a name into a template. It builds the song around the story you tell. Here's what a custom birthday song might include:

  • Their name in the chorus and verses
  • Personal details — hobbies, memories, personality traits
  • Inside jokes that only close friends or family would get
  • Professional vocals and production — these sound like real songs, not robotic text-to-speech

Add a Photo Video

Upload your favourite photos of the birthday person and we'll create a video slideshow set to their song, complete with karaoke-style lyrics. Play it at the party, send it in the group chat, or save it for them to watch whenever they need a smile.

Why This Beats Other Birthday Gifts

  • More personal than a gift card or generic present
  • More affordable than most meaningful gifts (£9.99!)
  • More memorable than flowers or chocolate
  • Lasts forever — they can listen to it any time
  • Takes 5 minutes — perfect for last-minute gifters
