A worked example

Meet Alfie, our example son

Alfie isn't real, but many teens share his mix of noise and gold. Here's the kind of detail families send us, and how we turn it into a song.

Alfie

Turning 16. Drum-kit dreamer, secret softie, bike-teacher.

  • Drum kit in the garage "helping him revise"
  • GCSEs looming
  • Funny in a way that sneaks up on you
  • Kinder than he lets his mates see
  • Taught his little sister to ride her bike this summer

What his family told us

Our son is 16. GCSEs looming, drum kit in the garage 'helping him revise'. He's funny in a way that sneaks up on you, and kinder than he lets his mates see. Taught his little sister to ride her bike this summer with more patience than we've ever had. Sixteen years of noise and gold. Mostly gold.

The sort of thing a parent might send us

The world he lives in

Teenage moments in the mid-2020s

Alfie's years have been shaped by streaming playlists that shift as fast as his moods, by TikTok challenges that turn a bedroom into a stage, and by late-night gaming sessions that linger long after the lights go out. The garage, once a place for tools, now holds a drum kit that doubles as a soundtrack for study breaks. On weekends the family gathers around a smart TV, binge-watching series that blend humour with heart, while the kitchen clock ticks towards another exam deadline. It's a time when a simple text can spark a meme, and a shared laugh on a video call feels as real as a hug. All of these threads weave together to create a soundtrack that feels unmistakably his.

What to tell us for a 16th birthday song for son

Just jot down the details that make his teen years unique. We'll turn them into verses.

  1. The soundtrack

    Favourite band, playlist name, the song that gets him drumming in the garage.

  2. The exam hustle

    GCSE subjects he's tackling, a funny study ritual, the moment he lets the drums speak.

  3. The hidden kindness

    The way he helped his sister on the bike, the small gestures he keeps to himself.

  4. The sneaky humour

    A joke that lands after a pause, a line that only his mates get: perfect for the chorus.
