A quick guide to every change you can make, so it lands in your song the first time.
The lyrics are the actual words your song sings. The story is just the inspiration we use to write those lyrics. So changing your story on its own will not change your song. To change what your song says, you need to change the lyrics.
The memories and details about the person. It is the raw material we turn into lyrics. On its own, it does not go into the song.
The finished words that get sung. This is what your new song is built from. Change these and your song changes.
Here is every field on the revision page and exactly what it does.
This is what most people want, and there are two ways to do it:
Editing the story without doing one of these will not change the words. If you try to submit after only changing the story, we will remind you and offer to rewrite the lyrics for you.
Pick a different genre or style to change the sound and mood, or a different vocalist (male, female, or a duet). We record a fresh version of your song in the new sound, with the same lyrics.
If a name, nickname, place, or unusual word is sung wrong, the Pronunciation Guide fixes it. This is the most common reason people revise, and it takes about ten seconds.

You can also fine-tune the smaller pieces:
Changing the recipient's name or the title on its own updates those details. To hear a new name inside the song, also rewrite the lyrics so it is woven in.
Your EP versions are the same song, the same words, performed in different musical settings. One simple rule ties everything together: every version always sings your song's current lyrics.
One swap is prepared at a time. Once it arrives, you can swap again, free. And nothing is ever lost: every recording you have had is kept, so if you miss an earlier version, just reply to any of our emails and we will bring it back.
This is the most common mix-up. You updated the story, but the lyrics were never rewritten from it, so the new version still sings the old words. The fix takes one tap: press "Rewrite from the new story", check the lyrics look right, then submit.
We create a fresh version of your song with your changes and email you when it is ready. Delivery time matches your order's speed. You can keep revising until it feels right, with your included free revisions.
