A birthday song about your girlfriend and her year
A birthday song for your girlfriend shouldn't be another love song about how you met. Save that for the anniversary. Her birthday is hers, so write about the year she had, the risk she took and the thing she finally finished. A song built from that tells her you were paying attention all year, and she'll know it from the first verse.

What to put in a birthday song for your girlfriend
Every service asks for the story differently. Whatever form you get, these are the details that make it sound like them and not like a greeting card.
In March she left the agency job and started booking her own photography clients.
She finally finished the canoe she started building three winters ago in her dad's garage.
This year it was pottery, and now every one of her friends owns a lopsided mug.
When her sister's wedding venue flooded in June, she moved forty guests to a new barn in one weekend.
She says no to things now without apologizing, and I've watched her get braver all year.
She wants to see the northern lights and finally set up her own darkroom.
When to order a birthday song
Scroll back through her year in photos and messages, and write down what changed her.
Pick a service from the picks above and send the story, with the music she plays on her studio days.
Listen through. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, where a line is about you instead of her.
Play it over breakfast, before the plans and the party, when it's the two of you.
Questions
What should a birthday song for my girlfriend be about?
Her year, mostly. Save the first-date story for your anniversary. Write about what she tried, what she finished and who she's becoming. That tells her you see her as a person in her own right, which is a lot to get from one song.
Is a song too much if we haven't been dating long?
Not if you keep it light. A few months in, write about what you've noticed, like her laugh or her new hobby. Leave out big promises about the future. A short, funny song says you pay attention without saying more than you're ready to.
Should her friends be part of the song?
One or two lines from them can help. Ask her best friend for something she did this year that made them proud, and fold it into the story. It shows the song isn't only your view of her, and she'll love that her people helped.
How do I give her the song?
Somewhere quiet first, over breakfast or on a drive, so she can react without an audience. If she loves it, she'll play it for her friends at the party herself. Then make sure it's saved on her own phone.
