Hands making a heart shape against a sunset

A worked example

Meet Tom, our example boyfriend

Tom isn't a real customer, but many boyfriends fit the description. Below is the kind of detail families send us, and how we turn it into a song.

Tom

Turning 30. Reliable hero, off-key guitarist, secret brewer.

  • Airport lift champion
  • Flat-move muscles on demand
  • Answers 2 am calls without complaint
  • Plays guitar badly on purpose
  • Brews beer in the cupboard
  • Admitted he likes my cat

What his partner told us

My boyfriend is 30. He's spent his twenties being everyone's reliable one: the airport lift, the flat-move muscles, the 2am phone answerer. Plays guitar badly on purpose to annoy me, brews beer in the cupboard, and has finally admitted he likes my cat. The song should embarrass him at the party. Gently.

The sort of thing a boyfriend might send us

Read the lyrics: Thirty Years of YouAcoustic pop · Warm male vocals · 30th birthday

Verse 1

Thirty years of showing up on time,Tom, you've always been the reliable kind.Who's picking me up when my flight gets in.Who's carrying boxes with that same old grin.

Verse 2

Two in the morning, phone starts to ring,you're awake before it's said a single thing.Everybody's got a Tom-shaped hole to fill,you just laugh and say you always will.

Pre-Chorus

So here's to the man who never lets us down,the quiet one holding the whole town round.Tonight it's your turn, so sit right there,let somebody else carry the weight for a year.

Chorus

Happy birthday Tom, thirty looks good on you,even with that guitar you play too badly on cue.I know you do it just to make me laugh,out of tune on purpose, love, that's half your craft.Thirty years of being everybody's rock,tonight we're raising glasses, so let the good times knock.

Verse 3

There's beer fermenting in the cupboard still,you check on it more than you'd ever admit you will.And after years of pretending you were unmoved,you finally said out loud that you love my cat too.

Pre-Chorus

So here's to the man who never lets us down,the airport driver, the best friend around.Tonight it's your turn, so sit right there,let somebody else carry the weight for a year.

Chorus

Happy birthday Tom, thirty looks good on you,even with that guitar you play too badly on cue.I know you do it just to make me laugh,out of tune on purpose, love, that's half your craft.Thirty years of being everybody's rock,tonight we're raising glasses, so let the good times knock.

Bridge

No one sees the small things quite like I do,the lift, the call, the love you're bad at showing through.But I see it, Tom, in everything you've done,thirty years of quiet, and you're only just begun.

Final Chorus

Happy birthday Tom, thirty suits you well,badly played guitar and a cat who broke your shell.Somewhere in that cupboard something's turning gold,just like you have, love, as you're getting old.Here's to being reliable, here's to being kind,here's to thirty years of the best of your mind.

Outro

So play that guitar wrong, one more time tonight,we'll all sing along, you're the one in the light.

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Tom's came from airport lifts, flat moves, late-night calls and a secret brew. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

The soundtrack of his twenties

From the era that shaped him

Born in the mid-nineteens, Tom grew up with the soundtrack of a world that streamed on YouTube and sang from smartphones. He remembers the first time he saw a video of a guitarist shredding on a cheap electric, and how he tried to copy it on his old acoustic, the strings buzzing like a nervous crowd. Saturday mornings were spent on the couch with cartoons that turned into teen dramas on the BBC, while the kitchen kettle boiled the same tea his mum used to make. The Summer of 2012 brought the launch of the first handheld gaming consoles that he carried to friends' houses, swapping stories over pizza and the occasional 2 am call when a flat needed a couch to be lifted onto a van.

What to put in a 30th birthday song for your boyfriend

You don't need to be a poet. Just share the moments that make him, well, him.

  1. The reliable moments

    Airport lifts, flat-move muscles, the 2 am phone answer: the stuff that shows his steady heart.

  2. The playful quirks

    Bad-on-purpose guitar chords, the secret beer stash, the cat confession: perfect for a gentle tease.

  3. The shared jokes

    The nickname he hates, the snack he always steals, the line you always finish for him.

  4. The future hope

    A line about the next adventure: maybe a house, a pet, a road trip: to end the song on optimism.

The collective laugh

He'll ask for a repeat on the car ride home, proving the song hit the perfect note.
