A worked example

Meet Maisie, our example girlfriend

Maisie isn't a real customer, but many girlfriends fit this description. Here's the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.

Maisie

Eighteen, art student, bubble-tea connoisseur, plant whisperer

  • Met during GCSEs, laughed through mock exams
  • Drinks more bubble tea than any human should
  • Has named every plant in her room
  • Nervous about leaving home for art school

What her boyfriend told us

My girlfriend turns 18. We met doing our GCSEs and she's been making me laugh since the mock exams. She's off to study art in September, drinks more bubble tea than any human should, and has named every plant in her room. She's nervous about leaving home. I want her to hear how brilliant she is.

The sort of thing a boyfriend might send us

Read the lyrics: Brilliant MaisieAcoustic pop · Warm male vocals · 18th birthday

Verse 1

Back in the mock exams, revision gone wrongYou made me laugh so hard I forgot every songTwo nervous kids with our heads in the booksNever knew a whole future could start on that look

Verse 2

Now your room's full of plants and you've named every oneTalking to leaves like they're second to noneBubble tea cup in your hand like a crownEighteen candles tonight, let's not blow them out too soon

Pre-Chorus

And I know September's coming round fastArt school calling your name at lastYou're scared to leave the only home you've known

Chorus

But Maisie, you're brilliant, more than you knowSteady hands and a heart that glowsYou turned a mock exam into the best of my daysSo let the nerves come, we'll find our wayHappy birthday, Maisie, go and shineYou were always meant for bigger skies

Verse 3

You'll paint your worries into something newEvery canvas will carry a little bit of youAnd when the room feels big and the city's loudJust remember every plant you named made it out proud

Pre-Chorus

I know September's coming round fastArt school calling your name at lastYou don't have to do this big step alone

Chorus

Because Maisie, you're brilliant, more than you knowSteady hands and a heart that glowsYou turned a mock exam into the best of my daysSo let the nerves come, we'll find our wayHappy birthday, Maisie, go and shineYou were always meant for bigger skies

Bridge

Eighteen years and still you make me laughLike that first day when the future felt too fastWhatever room you're in, wherever you roamEvery plant, every joke, is a piece of your home

Final Chorus

Oh Maisie, you're brilliant, more than you knowSteady hands and a heart that glowsYou turned a mock exam into the best of my daysSo let the nerves come, we'll find our wayHappy birthday, Maisie, go and shineYou were always meant for bigger skies

Outro

So here's to eighteen and all still to comeBubble tea toasts and the girl who made this funGo on and shine, love, you'll be just fineHappy birthday, Maisie, this whole world is yours tonight

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Maisie's came from GCSE laughs, bubble tea and a room full of named plants. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

What to put in an 18th birthday song for your girlfriend

Just share the moments that make her unique. We'll turn them into verses.

  1. First meeting

    How you met, the class you shared, the joke that broke the ice: perfect for a verse.

  2. Her passions

    Art, bubble tea, the houseplants she names: the details that make her shine.

  3. The big step

    Leaving home for college, the nerves, the excitement: a bridge that pulls at the heart.

  4. A personal compliment

    Tell us why you think she's brilliant, how she makes you feel: the chorus will echo it.

The soundtrack of a teen in 2024

When Maisie was growing up, the playlists were a mix of TikTok trends, indie pop on streaming services and the occasional retro throwback on vinyl. Evening sitcoms like "Ted Lasso" and the drama of "The Last of Us" gave her both laughs and goose-bumps, while the glow of a phone screen lit up late-night study sessions. Those years were coloured by bright Instagram feeds, the buzz of new bubble-tea shops opening on every high street, and the quiet comfort of a bedroom filled with potted friends, each given a name as lovingly as a pet.
