How to Brief a Valentine's Day Song
A Valentine's Day song brief that includes your partner's name, one specific shared memory, and the emotional tone you want gives the lyric engine enough detail to produce a genuinely personal result across all four free preview clips.
A well-written Valentine's Day song brief tells Cantarova who your partner is, what makes your relationship specific, and the tone that fits the occasion. Those three inputs shape every lyric line across all four free preview clips and determine whether the song feels written for your partner or assembled from a romantic template.
What goes into a Valentine's Day song brief that actually works
The briefing form at Cantarova has a small number of fields, but each directly influences what appears in the lyric. Your partner's name anchors the song to a specific person. The relationship field sets the register. The occasion field confirms this is a Valentine's Day song. But the memory or detail field has the most influence on whether the lyric feels personal: a single concrete sentence about something specific to your relationship produces a lyric your partner will recognize as their own story rather than a polished love song that could belong to anyone.
A note like "every Friday she makes the same bad joke about the commute and I laugh every time" gives the lyric engine something vivid and specific. A note like "she is the love of my life" gives it almost nothing to distinguish this song from any other Valentine's Day gift. Both produce previews, but only the first produces a lyric your partner will recognize as unmistakably theirs.
What details make a Valentine's Day song genuinely personal?
Three categories of detail reliably produce a lyric that feels written for your partner rather than selected from a catalog of romantic sentiment.
- A specific shared memory, habit, or recurring moment that only the two of you would recognize immediately in a lyric.
- A phrase, nickname, or private expression your partner uses that can anchor the song and make it unmistakably theirs.
- A tone note that matches the emotional register you want, whether deeply romantic, warmly playful, or quietly sincere.

How to present a Valentine's Day song at the right moment
Play the song at a moment when your partner is relaxed and the setting is quiet enough that the specific references in the lyric can be heard clearly. Valentine's Day morning over breakfast, a quiet moment before going out, or during dinner at home all work well. Hand your partner the PDF of the lyrics so they can follow along on a first listen and catch the personal details that came from your brief.
A brief spoken note before the music starts, mentioning that you included a specific memory about your relationship, helps your partner listen actively for the personal content rather than simply receiving a song.

Everything you want to know
What information does Cantarova need for a Valentine's Day song brief?
The brief asks for your partner's name, your relationship, the occasion (Valentine's Day), one or two specific memories or things you love about them, the tone you want (romantic, playful, or heartfelt), your preferred genre and voice style, and any phrases or topics to avoid.
How personal does the Valentine's Day song brief need to be?
The more specific the better. A detail like "she always orders the same thing at our favourite restaurant and pretends to consider the menu" produces a lyric the recipient will immediately recognize as their own life. General descriptions like "she is kind and funny" give the lyric engine very little to distinguish this song from any other.
Can I include an inside joke or a private reference in a Valentine's Day song brief?
Yes. Inside references and private jokes are exactly what make a personalized Valentine's Day song different from a generic love song. Include the detail in plain language in the memory field and the lyric will reflect it across the preview clips in a way that will resonate with your partner.
