How to order a personal song: what to share and what happens next

1. Choose how much you want to plan together

Ordering a personal song starts with a purpose, not finished lyrics. Think about who it is for and how it will be used: a gift, a thank-you or a recording for your own enjoyment. You do not need to compose, sing or write rhymes.

Compare packages by how you want to take part. A clear story and style preference can provide a starting point, while personal planning helps if you want to discuss the perspective and production. Check the pricing page for current prices, inclusions, version allowances and optional extras before ordering.

2. Order now and gather the story at your own pace

You can share an initial idea during ordering or choose to plan later. After payment, your personal song-planning link arrives by email. Use it to write the details, save an unfinished draft and return later without a separate account or password.

If you need memories from other people, gather their responses and add them to the plan yourself. Keep the personal link safe and private because it provides access to your plan. Saving a draft and submitting the details are different actions: submit only when the information is ready for production planning.

3. Share the details that make the song recognisable

A short, clear story in your own words is a useful starting point. Describe the recipient, who the song is from and what you want to express. Choose a few significant moments. One specific memory often says more than a long list of personality traits.

An imaginary brief might say: ‘A song for Mum from her children. We want to thank her for summers at the cottage and always listening. It should feel warm and a little cheerful.’ This is an illustrative example, not a customer story, and shows how ordinary language can be enough to begin.

• Who is the song for, and who is giving it?
• Which names, memories or phrases matter most?
• What should the listener feel or understand?
• What should the song definitely avoid?
• When and where will you use it?

4. Describe the mood, style and voice

Your musical wishes do not have to be technical. ‘Calm and warm, with acoustic accompaniment’ is already useful. Describe the energy, vocal preference and whether the song should feel celebratory, funny or tender. Mention if it is intended for a dance or video.

Laulusi combines a producer’s work with modern music tools, including AI. Janne guides the recording using your story, preferences and feedback. Samples help you explore possible moods; your own song is planned around your own subject.

5. Submit the details and confirm the schedule

When your plan is ready, submit the song details. We personally confirm the schedule with you before starting production. Payment or saving a draft alone does not reserve a completion date. Rush delivery is also agreed separately, so mention any tight deadline at the start.

When you listen to the song, first check names and important story details, then consider whether the mood matches your wishes. Make any feedback specific. The scope of changes and versions depends on your chosen package and the agreed production. The Copyright page explains how you can use the finished recording.
