A worked example

Meet Elsie, our example baby

Elsie isn't a real customer, but the details reflect what families often send us for a new baby song. Your own song will be built from your own memories.

Elsie

Three weeks old, seven pounds of opinions, named after grandma

  • Big brother calls her "my baby"
  • He's appointed head of security
  • Grandma cried into her cardigan
  • Seven pounds of pure wonder

What her family told us

Our daughter Elsie arrived three weeks ago, seven pounds of opinions. Her big brother calls her 'my baby' and has appointed himself head of security. She's named after my grandma, who met her last week and cried into her cardigan. We want a song for her: something we can play at bedtime that tells her who was waiting for her.

What to include in a new baby song

You don't need to be a poet. Just send us the little things that make Elsie unique.

  1. First moments

    The day she was born, her weight, the first sounds she made: the opening verse loves these details.

  2. Family roles

    Big brother's nickname for her, the promise to protect, the way grandparents feel.

  3. Name story

    Who she's named after, why that name matters, any family anecdotes.

  4. Bedtime rituals

    The lullabies you hum now, the favourite blanket, the routine you want to celebrate.

The bedtime moment

Picture the scene when the song plays

A quiet room, soft lights, and a tiny hand reaching for the melody.

The first listen

Parents hum the chorus, big brother smiles, and Elsie's eyes widen as the words name each family member.

The sleepy sigh

The lullaby drifts, the room grows still, and the baby drifts into dreamland with the story of love around her.

The family echo

Later, grandparents play the song at visits, reminding her of the cardigan tears and the promise of protection.

Questions, answered

Practical details for getting the perfect new baby song in time for bedtime.

What should I tell you for a new baby song?

Can I hear the lyrics before it's recorded?

Yes. You read and approve every line before we produce the final MP3. One free revision is included.

How quickly will the song arrive?

Is the song exclusive to us?

Absolutely. Each song is written from scratch for one baby only. No two songs are the same.
