Free personalized song with a name: what is free and what is not
At SongHearts the lyrics are free: you can write lyrics with any name and edit them before paying anything. The sung song with download costs $99 (€39.90 in the eurozone), one time, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Here is why, and which free options exist if you want to pay nothing at all.

Three AI-generated examples. The people and stories are made up; your song is written from your story.
Chorus and story
Oh Emily, my heart is your home With you, Emily, I’m never alone Under the lights of the Christmas tree You are the only one for me
Story: We met eight years ago at a snowy train station in Boston. Emily hums while she bakes gingerbread, wraps every gift in brown paper with handwritten tags, and still wears the red scarf I gave her on our first Christmas.
Chorus and story
Oh Gisela, wir feiern dich heut, In achtzig Jahren hast du so viele erfreut. Gisela, du bist unser Herzstück hier, Wir danken dir heute und gratulieren dir.
Story: Oma Gisela backt jedes Jahr mit allen Enkeln Vanillekipferl, strickt jedem einen Schal und erzählt beim Kartenspielen immer dieselben Witze. Sie wird dieses Jahr 80.
Chorus and story
Joyeux anniversaire, chère Léa Que chaque instant soit un grand éclat On chante pour toi, on danse en chœur Pour que cette année remplisse ton cœur
Story: Léa fête ses 30 ans. Elle collectionne les plantes vertes, fait les meilleures crêpes du quartier le dimanche et part chaque été en randonnée dans les Pyrénées avec son chien Biscotte.
What you get for free
You answer seven short questions and get rhymed lyrics with the person’s name in seconds, for free and without an account. You can change every line or ask for new lyrics. When you are happy with the words, you pay once and the song is recorded right away: two versions, the MP3 download and a share link. If you do not love it, we re-record it for free within 30 days, or refund you in full within 14 days of payment.
Why is the full song not free? Every recording is computed by a specialised music model, which costs us real money per song, plus payment fees and hosting. We would rather be clear about that than hide costs behind a "free" button and a subscription.
Truly free alternatives, compared honestly
If your budget is zero, these are the realistic options:
- "Happy birthday [name]" videos on YouTube: free and instant, but the same song for everyone with only the name changed.
- Write and sing it yourself: free and very personal, but it takes time, and a famous melody with new words should not be published online.
- General AI music generators: often free to try with an account, but check the licence before giving the song as a gift, and expect generic lyrics unless you write them yourself.
- Use our free lyrics: write them with SongHearts, then sing them yourself at the party, read them in a speech, or put them in a card.
- Read the lyrics before you pay; if the song is not right, use the free re-recording (30 days) or the money-back guarantee (14 days).
