General

What is SongsSmith?

A custom song service. You share your story and a professional songwriter and producer turn it into an original, studio-quality song, delivered to your inbox. Every song is written from scratch for one person.

SongsSmith is a product of Solid Stone Ventures LLC, registered in Wyoming, USA.

Are the songs made by real artists or AI?

Real artists. Every song is written, composed and produced by a human songwriter and producer. We don't use AI to generate lyrics or melodies.

What occasions can I order a song for?

Birthdays, weddings and first dances, anniversaries, proposals, new babies, graduations, memorials and tributes, corporate events, holidays and plain old love songs. If your occasion isn't listed, email us and we'll make it work.

How is SongsSmith different from other custom song services?
  • 100% human-written, no AI lyrics or melodies
  • A team of genre specialists rather than one generalist
  • Every song mixed and mastered to a professional standard
  • We read every story carefully and make real creative choices
  • Worldwide digital delivery
Can I order more than one song?

Yes, there's no limit. Each song is its own order with its own story, package and timeline. Email us if you're ordering several and we'll help.

Do you have a referral program?

A formal program is on the way. In the meantime, if a friend orders because of you, email support@songssmith.com and we'll thank you for it.

Song creation

How does production work?
  • After you order you get an email confirming exactly what you ordered.
  • Within 12-24 hours we start your lyrics and email you a first draft to review.
  • Reply to approve the lyrics, or tell us what to change, within 48 hours (12 hours for Express). Each new draft gets the same time. If we don't hear from you by then, your lyrics count as approved and we start recording.
  • Our artists then record, mix and master your song.
  • After delivery you can use your included revisions for any changes.

Replying to the lyrics draft quickly is the best way to get your song early.

How long will my song be?
  • Silver: 1-2 minutes, about 8-16 lines. A short, focused dedication.
  • Gold: 2-3 minutes, about 16-24 lines. Two verses and a chorus.
  • Platinum: 3+ minutes, about 24-36 lines. Three verses or a bridge.
Do I approve the lyrics before you record?

Yes. Your lyrics draft arrives by email. Reply within 48 hours (12 hours for Express) to approve it or ask for changes, and we'll adjust it first. If we don't hear from you by then, your lyrics count as approved and we start recording.

Can I change my lyrics after recording has started?

Yes. Once your reply window has passed and recording has begun, a late lyric change costs $40 to cover the re-work. Buy it on our Add to Your Order page. Your delivery time restarts from when you approve the corrected lyrics. Your included revisions are for tweaks to the recorded song, like a line you'd like sung differently or the tone of the track.

Can I add extras after ordering?

Yes. Go to Add to Your Order, enter the email you ordered with (your order number is optional) and choose an extra revision, a lyric video or poster, a genre change or a late lyric change. Add-ons are charged at full price.

Which artist will write my song?

We match you by genre and mood: Fenton Garner (Country, Americana), Maya Vance (Soul, R&B), Jax Theron (Hip-Hop, Trap, Pop), Leo Kim (Upbeat, Jazz, Neo Soul), Chloe Luna (Dream Folk, Indie Pop) and Skye Reed (Trap, Rap). Name a favorite in your order notes and we'll try to match it.

What if I don't know which genre to pick?

Tell us the mood you want, warm, upbeat or sentimental, and we'll choose the artist and genre for you.

Can I choose a male or female voice?

Yes, pick it in the order form. We match based on artist availability in your genre. Want both? Add a duet.

What should I include in my order?

Their name and your relationship, the occasion, favorite memories, inside jokes and nicknames, their personality, what you want them to feel, and any lines you'd love included. More detail makes a more personal song.

Can I write my own lyrics?

Yes. Include lines or full lyrics and tell us whether to use them exactly or adapt them. More than about 60 words per minute of song may not all fit. Lyrics you send must be your own original writing.

Can you write in the style of a specific artist?

We can match the feel or genre of an artist you love, but every melody and lyric has to be original. Naming an artist as a mood reference is fine.

Can I hear samples first?

Yes. Listen on the Our Artists and Occasions pages.

Either way, SongsSmith never sees or stores your card details.

Can I cancel my order?

Paid orders can be cancelled within 24 hours for a full refund, as long as production hasn't started. Express orders can begin right away, so they usually can't be cancelled. Email support@songssmith.com with your order number.

Do you offer rush delivery?

Yes. Add Express delivery ($75) for your song in 48-72 hours. We still recommend ordering 7-10 days ahead so there's time for revisions.

Delivery

How will I receive my song?

By email, as a high-quality WAV file. Gold and Platinum include cover art, and Platinum adds an HD lyric video. Add support@songssmith.com to your contacts so it doesn't land in spam.

How long does delivery take?

Silver 5-7 business days, Gold 4-6, Platinum 3-5, or 48-72 hours with Express. The clock starts once your order, story and payment are confirmed. Reply to your lyrics draft quickly and you'll get your song at the short end of that time.

Can you send the song straight to the recipient?

Yes. Add their email in your order notes and we'll deliver it for you. Or use your own email and share it when the moment is right.

What if my song is late?

If the delay is on our side, contact us and we'll offer free expedited completion, a partial refund, or a full refund if production hasn't started. Delays from wrong contact details or an incomplete story aren't covered.

Do you deliver worldwide?

Yes. If you have an email address, we can deliver to you.

Gifting

Can I schedule delivery for a specific date?

Yes. Put the date in your order notes and we'll time it. Order 7-10 days ahead to leave room for revisions.

How can I present the song?

Play it at the party, send it as a surprise voice note, put it behind a photo slideshow, or simply share the file with a message. Platinum's lyric video is a ready-made gift on its own.

Can I add a personal message?

Yes. Add it to your order notes and we'll include it with the delivery.

Revisions & refunds

What counts as a revision?

Small changes to the finished song: a lyric tweak, how a line is sung, a subtle mood adjustment. A full rewrite, genre change or new direction isn't a revision. Lyric rewrites after recording has started are a late lyric change ($40), not a revision. Not sure? Email us before using one.

How long does a revision take?

Usually 2-4 business days, depending on your package and the change. Clear notes make it faster.

What if I'm not happy with my song?

Email us and we'll work through the revisions in your package. Music is personal, so we can't promise to match every expectation, but we'll get as close to your vision as we can.

Can I get a refund?

Because each song is custom-made, refunds aren't available once production starts. You can cancel within 24 hours for a full refund if we haven't begun. If we fail to deliver, or deliver late through our fault, we'll offer a partial or full refund. See the refund policy.

Rights & usage

What can I do with my song?

Your song comes with a personal license: play it at private events, share it with friends and family, post it on personal social accounts. Brand promotion, ticketed events or business accounts need a commercial license.

Who owns the copyright?

SongsSmith keeps the rights to the lyrics and composition unless agreed otherwise in writing. You get a personal, non-commercial license. Need full ownership? Contact us before ordering.

Can I post it on YouTube?

On personal channels, yes. Brand, business, public-figure or monetized channels need a commercial license.

Is my story kept private?

Yes. Your story, names and details stay confidential, and we never publish your song or information without your consent.
