You hear the song before you pay

Not a sample of someone else's song. Yours, with their name in it, written from your story. You read every line and listen to a preview, and only then decide.

Reading the lyrics of a song on a phone before deciding to buy it

What happens, in order

Four steps. Money only enters at the last one.

  1. Step 1

    You write a few sentences

    Their name, the occasion, and what you want the song to say. The average story people send is around 90 words. Notes and half-sentences are fine; we do the writing.

  2. Step 2

    You read the lyrics

    They appear on screen, written from your story. Change a line, a name, a memory. Free, and there is no limit on how many times.

  3. Step 3

    You hear a preview

    The opening of your actual song, in the genre and voice you picked, with their name in it.

  4. Step 4

    Then you decide

    If it is right, you pay from US$37.95 and the full song arrives as an MP3. If it is not, you walk away and owe nothing.

This is what you see before paying

A real order, shown the way the customer saw it: their story, the lyrics it became, then the song.

A country Christmas song for Gran D and Bumpa, 54 years in

Country · Emotional · Female vocal

  1. 1What they typed

    They have been married for almost 54 years and were married when Diane was only 19 years old and Larry was 25. Larry bravely served his country in the Navy and fought in the Vietnam war. They met after he left the Navy. They had 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. They raised our family while following the Lord, studying the bible and with honesty and integrity. One of their favorite activities is bible study, studying the Lord's word, and Larry teaches his grandchildren. They worked hard their whole lives and are an amazing team. Their love grows stronger with each passing year. Larry loves fishing and the lake. Diane loves cooking and making meals for family, grandchildren, and neighbors. Diane created the Christmas tradition of "The Giver". They take care of each other and are an example of how love and family should be. Their grandkids call them Gran D and Bumpa.
  2. 2The lyrics they read before paying

    They met after the Navy, when Diane was just nineteen, Larry, brave from Vietnam, the strongest she had seen. Through fifty-four years of laughter, of trials and of grace, With honesty and integrity, they've built a sacred place. Gran D and Bumpa, their love like a beacon shines, Guiding through the years, like the stars that align. With every lesson taught, and every meal shared, In their home, the Lord's wisdom and love have always cared. Larry loves the fishing, at the lake he finds his peace, While Diane in the kitchen, her love would never cease.

Why we do it this way

Most people who want a custom song have never bought one, and they tell us the same two worries. The preview exists to answer both before you have spent anything.

Worry one

"Is my story good enough?"

It is, and the lyrics will show you. Three specific details beat a page of adjectives: a place, a habit, a line they always say. You will see exactly how your words turned into verses before anything else happens.

Worry two

"Will I like what comes back?"

You hear it first. The preview is the opening of your song, in the genre and voice you chose. If the feel is wrong, change it and hear it again. You only pay for a song you already like.

It also keeps us honest. A song you have already read and heard is a song you are unlikely to want refunded. We have delivered 28,500+ of them this way.

What "custom" means here

The lyrics are written from what you type. Names, places, the dog, the inside joke, the thing that happened in 2019. If it is in your story it can be in the song, and if you leave it out, we do not invent it. The finished track is a full song, typically two to three minutes, in the genre you chose, with a female, male or duet vocal.

What you get

  • The full song as an MP3, yours to keep and share
  • The lyrics, which you approved before paying
  • Free revisions until it sounds right
  • Delivery windows from an hour to a day, chosen at checkout
  • A preview of the actual song before any payment

The song that was created for my wife Joy was amazing. It was everything I wanted to say to her from my heart put into a song. She plays it every day. When she first played the song we both cried and listened to it 5 more times to hear every word again and again. BeatJar you have really gave my wife a amazing gift. I recommend you to everyone who is thinking about giving this as a gift. It is well worth it for sure!

When my wife figured out the song was about her, she choked up crying. She was smiling, crying, hugging me and laughing. She told me afterwards this gift - the song, is the best gift I gave her. She said "you do lots of kind things for me, but this one was the best, it was perfect."

The song they created was even better than what I had hoped for. I got the reaction I wanted. (She cried and hugged me.) I was impressed with the quality of the lyrics. My wife even said that she felt as if I wrote the words myself based on our memories and experiences. I definitely recommend them.

When I sat my wife down and the music started to Play. When it sung her name. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped, and I saw a tear started to develop in her eye.

My father-in-law is 87 and this song was for him. He loves playing guitar but unfortunately he can’t always remember the chords anymore. We chose country as the genre. He started tapping his foot and snapping his fingers as soon as the music started. Then when his name was said his mouth fell open and he started to tear up. I was the one who put in the information in because my husband got too emotional, After the song my father-in-law said “ wow! She knows me pretty well.

This was way better than I imagined. The control it gives you to customize the song. I was hesitant at first, but Erik reached out to me because my song sat in my cart. He was helpful and explained to me the process and how I can revise the song as much as I want. I finally tweaked it to the vibe I wanted, and when my wife got home I played it on the big speaker for her. She didn't notice at first, but she heard her name in the song she looked up at me with amazement and shock. She stared at me with amazement as she listened to the song, and then she began to cry and gave me a huge hug. I've been married for 21 years. Our lives are hectic, as we have five beautiful children. This was worth every penny, and it wasn't even expensive. The joy it brought her, it definitely helped us feel that fire again. I recommend this to anyone.

Oh. My. Gosh. Yall!!! This is legit. I really thought it was going to be a scam and a terrible song that ended up coming out of the whole process but I literally cried when I heard it for the first time. And I’m going to be straight up honest- I’m shook. I wrote it to be lengthy so my song came out around four and a half minutes but I wanted it to be long. It was like a one off- listen to on hard moments type of deal for my partner. I cannot waiiiit for him to hear it- they do offer change requests to the song through their BeatJar email attachment they send with your purchase. It’s sooo cheap for the quality of the song. I’m a true fan. And will probably use it more than just this once 🤣 HIGHLY satisfied. This was too good. Pro tip- use ChatGPT!!! I wrote my story in BeatJar, got those generated lyrics, and then took both of those straight to chat and asked it to match my story seamlessly with the “rough draft” lyrics, added the genre and emotion I was going for, and then copied those lyrics back into BeatJar to get the song. 10/10. Highly recommend.

This was awesome! When the song was done processing it was perfect on the first try. The voice, the music, it was just amazing and so touching. When my wife Nancy first heard it she was in tears immediately and said she is keeping this forever! I even got emotional when I first heard it. This was such a great idea.

The song was very touching and heartfelt. I loved it very much. Raymond was so impressed until he had to show his expression (Proud Marine). Everyone that listened to the song was crying because of the way that you arranged the song, fitted Raymond to the Tee. Thank you so much and I will continue to use your service.

I wrote the lyrics to the song and they were able to get most of them in the song. They added some more lyrics which enhanced the song perfectly. I cried the first time I heard it. My wife was amazed by it too and it brought tears to her eyes as well Everything was done perfectly and professionally by BeatJar. So pleased with the whole experience and the end result. I will definitely use this service again. Well Worth it.
