What you are watching

  1. 1

    Someone typed a story

    A few sentences about the person in the video: their name, a habit, a place, the thing they never get told. The average story we receive is about 89 words.

  2. 2

    It became a song with their name in it

    The lyrics were written from that story and approved by the sender before they paid. The song arrived as an MP3, and they pressed play in front of the person it was about.

  3. 3

    The chorus is where it lands

    Watch for the moment the name comes in. Most people go quiet at the first verse and break at the chorus, when they realise every line is about them.

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!

Folks I have seen a lot of new things you can do with all this new technology I saw Beatjars add and all kinds of questions ran through my head about how they could do such a thing like make a song for someone you love and I will tell you I did it I answered a few questions and told them a short story about us and only things me and her know got the song really quick I chose country it was beautiful my wife listened to it about half way through she realized it was about her and the look on her face was worth a million bucks she was crying by the end and told me she loved it and it was the best thing I’ve ever given her I really do recommend Beatjar

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.

Film your own, and send it to us

The clips above exist because someone had a phone ready. If you are giving a song, three things make the recording worth keeping:

  • Start recording before you press play. The first ten seconds, when they do not know what it is yet, are the part you will want later.
  • Play it out loud, close to them. A speaker or a phone at arm's length beats headphones; you want their face and the song in the same shot.
  • Keep the camera on them, not the screen. Nobody rewatches the phone. Everybody rewatches the reaction.

Afterwards, reply to your delivery email with the video or use the contact page. Say whether we may show it here. We only publish the ones we have permission for.

Questions about the reactions

Are these real customers?
Yes. Every clip was filmed by a customer and sent to us after their song arrived, and each is shown with their permission. We trim for length and nothing else.
Can I send you our reaction?
Please do. Reply to your delivery email with the video, or send it through the contact page. Tell us if we may show it here; we only publish the ones we are allowed to.
Is the song in the video the full song?
The clips are short, so you hear a piece of it. The full songs are two to three minutes long and you can listen to complete ones on the real songs page.
What if they do not react like this?
Most people go quiet first. The tears or the laugh usually come at the chorus, when they hear their own name and a detail only you would know. That is why the details you type matter more than anything else.
