What Information to Send for a Valentine's Day Song
A Valentine's Day song brief needs a name, one specific shared memory, the intended emotional tone, and any topics to avoid.
A Valentine's Day song brief needs a name, one specific shared memory, the intended emotional tone, and any topics to avoid - those four elements are what separate a genuinely personal song from a generic one.
What a Valentine's Day song brief needs to produce personal lyrics
The brief is the only instruction the platform receives, so everything in the song depends on what you write. The minimum useful brief covers four things: the recipient's name as it should be sung, one specific shared memory, the emotional tone you want the song to carry, and any topics to exclude. Anything beyond that is a bonus, but those four elements are the foundation.
The most valuable part of the brief is the shared memory. Not a feeling or a quality - a scene. The first time you met in a specific city, a recurring Saturday morning routine, a phrase your Valentine says when they are surprised. That kind of detail gives the lyrics something unmistakably yours, and it is what separates a personalized song from a stock love song with a name swapped in.
What details make a Valentine's Day song genuinely personal?
Precision in the brief means the 4 free preview clips will each sound like they were written for this specific person. These elements have the highest impact on preview quality.
- A specific shared memory with a real place or small observable detail - the highest-impact element in any brief.
- Name pronunciation note, especially for unusual or multi-syllable names.
- Dominant emotional tone: tender, celebratory, nostalgic, playful, or quietly warm.
The brief does not need to cover every aspect of your relationship. Specificity matters more than length: a single shared memory written in two clear sentences produces previews that feel genuinely personal in a way that five general points cannot. Think about a moment the two of you shared that no outside observer would have understood the same way you did, then describe that moment directly in the brief.
When the avoid field includes something specific - a word, a tone, or a topic that would feel wrong for this person - the platform steers the lyrics away from it automatically. That level of control is available before any payment is required, during the free preview stage.

How to present a Valentine's Day song at the right moment
When the 4 preview clips arrive, listen with the brief in front of you. Check whether the name sounds right, whether the memory you described appears in a recognizable form, and whether the emotional tone matches what you asked for. If one preview hits all three, that is your version.
If none of the previews feel right, revise the brief with a more specific memory or a clearer tonal instruction before regenerating. A speaker in a quiet space makes the reveal feel larger than a phone at arm's length.

Everything you want to know
What is the most important piece of information for a Valentine's Day song?
One specific shared memory that only the two of you would recognize. A real place, a recurring habit, or a turning point in the relationship gives the lyrics something concrete to build on. Generic praise produces previews that could belong to any love song.
Do I need to know the genre before I send the brief?
Not precisely, but a rough sense helps. Describing the intended mood - warm and intimate, upbeat and playful, quietly emotional - is often enough. The platform will match that description to the available genres and present 4 free previews that reflect it.
Should I include things to avoid in the brief?
Yes. If there is a topic that would feel wrong in the context of your relationship, list it. This might be a difficult period the song should not reference, a word that would feel out of character for the recipient, or a genre that would feel tonally wrong. The brief is the only moment to give that instruction.
