A Valentine's Day song written about you two

A Valentine's Day song gift gets around the pressure to get the day right. Flowers fade by the weekend. A card says what a card says. A song written about the two of you names the night you met and the joke nobody else gets. Then it stays. They'll play it in March, and probably again next February.

What to put in the story

What to put in a Valentine's Day song

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.

How you met

We met in line for coffee and they let me go first because I looked late.

Their small habits

They read the last page of a book first and pretend they don't.

A night that stuck

The night the power went out and we ate cold pizza on the floor by candlelight.

Your private jokes

We call the dog “the landlord” because he decides where everyone sits.

What you admire

They call their mother every Sunday, even when there's nothing new to say.

What you mean

I feel calm when you're in the room, and I never had that before.

When to order a Valentine's Day song

Four weeks out

Decide on the song and start a note on your phone. Add names and places as they come to you.

Three weeks out

Choose from the picks above and send your story, so there's time for a change if the service offers one.

One week out

Listen to the song. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, and work out how you'll play it.

February 14

Play it somewhere quiet with your phone put away. Let them hear the whole thing before you say anything.

Questions

Is a song a good Valentine's Day gift?

Yes, if the two of you have a story. It works when the lyrics hold real details, like the place you met or the dog you call “the landlord.” Generic love lines are what make a song sound bought. Your own memories make it sound like a letter they can hum.

How far ahead should I order a Valentine's Day song?

Three to four weeks out is comfortable. That leaves time to hear the song and ask for a change, if the service offers one, without a rush. February gets busy, so earlier is kinder to you. The picks above show how long each service takes.

Which Valentine's guide fits us?

Start here for any couple, then go to the guide for your person. There's one each for a girlfriend, boyfriend, wife and husband, with prompts that fit that relationship. If you're apart this year, the long-distance guide covers sending it across time zones.

How should I give the song on the day?

Keep it simple. Play it in person if you can, in a quiet room, from a speaker rather than a phone held up between you. Then stay put, because their face is half the gift. If you're apart, send the link with a short note and ask them to use headphones.

Find the one that sounds like them.

Pick a service and jot down three of the details above. That's enough to start.
