Frequently Asked Questions

Aamras makes one song for one person. You tell us who they are and what the occasion is, and a real sounding song comes back with their name in it, in the language they grew up speaking. The name is a Hindi word for mango pulp, the thing that shows up in Indian homes when something is worth celebrating.

Four steps. Press play on songs already on the site until one sounds like the person you have in mind. Tell us about them, the relationship, the occasion, one memory. Read the lyrics and change whatever does not sound like you. Then the song gets recorded and lands in two versions for you to choose between.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Birthdays and anniversaries carry the most, but the ones that move people hardest tend to be the harder occasions: a retirement after 35 years of government service, a vidaai, a farewell for someone moving abroad, an apology that has been owed for a while. Weddings run across sangeet, haldi and mehndi. Rakhi, Diwali and Onam come round every year. Bhajans and lullabies get ordered quietly all year long.

NameDrop is ₹149, a song from our library with their name sung inside it, ready in minutes. Fully Custom is ₹249, lyrics written from your story with editing before recording. Pro Studio is ₹1,499, written and produced by our team with two rounds of changes and delivery inside 24 hours. All three come with two versions, download and sharing.

Yes, that is the point of the occasion pages. They are full of finished songs you can play right now, sung by the voices that would sing yours. It is the fastest way to tell whether this is the gift you had in mind.

Yes, and we would rather you did. Every occasion page has finished songs you can press play on, sung by the same voices that will sing yours. Listen to two or three, notice which one makes you feel something, then start there. Nobody should buy a song on a promise.

That is the part we take most seriously, because a mispronounced name ruins the moment. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம் or রাম, and the singer follows that spelling. If the first version still sounds off, you can fix the pronunciation on its own without touching the lyrics or the music.

One true thing about the person. Who they are to you, what the occasion is, and a detail only you would know: the nickname, the argument you still laugh about, the train station you always meet at. Specifics are what make a song sound like it was written for somebody rather than about somebody.

Most gifts get used up or put away. A song gets replayed, forwarded to the family group, and played again next year on the same date. It also carries their name, which means it cannot be bought for anyone else.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Yes. Download it, play it at the party, keep it for years. And you never have to send a bare file: every song comes with a gift link that opens with their name on it, and a short video of the best bit, ready to post on WhatsApp or Instagram. No watermark, no expiry on any of it.

Yes, without any editing apps. Every song comes with a short video: their name on the song art, the bit of the song you pick playing underneath, sized for stories and status. Two taps and it is up.

Tell us what is wrong and we make it again. Fully Custom includes one free regeneration, Pro Studio includes two. You pick exactly what to change, the name, the words or the music, and leave the rest alone.

Work backwards from how much of the story matters. If the name in a song they already love is enough, NameDrop at ₹149 does it in two minutes. If the story is the point, the inside joke, the year you met, the flight they always take, Fully Custom at ₹249 writes those lines and lets you edit them. If it is a wedding, a retirement or a farewell you only get one shot at, Pro Studio at ₹1,499 puts our team on it with two rounds of changes.

Two versions come free with every order: the same lyrics recorded twice, so the voice and the arrangement differ and you choose. A revision is different. That is when something is actually wrong and you want it made again. Fully Custom carries one, Pro Studio carries two.

Yes, and this is the most common thing people ask for. Choose Edit and regenerate, pick the name, and write it in its own script so the singer follows it: राम, ராம், ਰਾਮ. The lyrics and the music stay exactly as they were. You can do the same in reverse, keeping the name and changing only the mood of the music.

NameDrop and Fully Custom finish in minutes, on the page, while you wait. Pro Studio arrives inside 24 hours, because a human writes and checks it before it is recorded. If you are cutting it fine for a birthday, take one of the instant two.

On Fully Custom and Pro Studio the words come first and you approve them. Nothing gets sung until the lines read the way you want them read.

Yes. Every plan includes the download, the gift link they unwrap, and a share video for WhatsApp and Instagram. Play it at the function, post it, keep it on your phone for years. There is no separate licence to buy.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Write to us and we will sort it, including finishing a song that got stuck halfway. If a refund is the right answer, the Refund Policy page sets out when that applies. You will not be left holding a half made song.

Names of both of them, who is giving the song, and the bit of the story you would tell at the reception if someone handed you a mic. How they met, who said yes first, the thing his mother says about her. A wedding song fails when it could have been sung at any wedding, so give us the detail that could only be theirs.

Each of those functions wants a different song, so yes. Sangeet wants something the cousins can dance badly to. Haldi is daytime, warm, teasing. Mehndi sits somewhere in between and runs long because everyone is waiting for their hands to dry. Tell us which function and we set the tempo and the mood for that room.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Yes, and at Indian weddings that is often the honest choice. A Punjabi chorus with Hindi verses, or Tamil lines for her side and English for his, works the way the families actually talk to each other. Tell us which language should carry the chorus and we build around it.

The child is the main character rather than the audience. Their name goes in the chorus, their favourite thing goes in the verse, and whatever they are obsessed with this month goes in too, dinosaurs or a cricket bat or one specific cartoon. Children work out very fast whether a song is really about them.

Tell us how old they are and we match it. Under five wants a short chorus and lots of repetition, because repetition is the entire point at that age. Seven to ten can follow a story and enjoys being teased gently. Teenagers want it to sound like actual music, so we drop the sing song entirely.

Please make it so. The more oddly specific the better: the stuffed elephant with one ear, the fact that she narrates her own football matches, the word he has been mispronouncing for a year. Those details are what a child remembers hearing about themselves.

Yes, a few names sit comfortably in a song. Give us the ones who will be in the room and we place them where they will be heard, usually a line each rather than a list. The birthday child stays the one the song is about.

That is where most of these songs live. Download it as an ordinary audio file so it plays off any phone or speaker, and cue it as the cake comes out. You also get a gift link that opens with their name on it, and a short video of the best bit for the family group.

It is one of the best cases for it, though the audience is really the adults in the room and the child at six years old watching the video back. We keep the arrangement plain enough to survive being played on a phone speaker for the next three years, and the name gets sung clearly rather than cleverly.

On Fully Custom and Pro Studio the lyrics come to you before anything is recorded, and you can rewrite any line yourself or describe the change and let us do it. After the song exists, one free regeneration comes with Fully Custom and two with Pro Studio.

Four things: the child's name, their age, two or three things they love right now, and the language the family speaks at home. Pick a voice from the samples on this page, hear a real birthday song sung in it before you pay, and the finished track is back in minutes. You do not write a line of the lyrics yourself.

Yes. Say it is for the room rather than for one pair of headphones, and we write it louder and simpler, with a chorus the other children can shout back. The name still goes in the chorus, because that is the part the birthday child is listening for.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Time. How many years, what the early years cost them, what they survived in the middle. The strongest anniversary songs we make mention something unglamorous: the rented first house, the years of night shifts, the illness they got through. That is what long marriages are actually made of.

Yes, and the writing changes. Two years of dating wants lightness and specifics, the first trip, the bad first date, the song that was playing. Twenty five years of marriage wants weight. Tell us which one it is and roughly how long, and the song adjusts.

Yes. Say the era or the feeling and we cast the voice for it: an old film playback sound, something quiet with just guitar, a ghazal, or something modern their kids would put on. If you are unsure, play a few songs on this page and tell us which one felt closest.

Tell us both names, how many years it has been, and one thing the two of them got through together. Pick the voice by ear from the songs on this page, hear a real anniversary song sung in it, and pay only if you want to keep it. The finished track comes back in minutes.

This is the most common one we write. What makes it work is not how much you love them, it is what their marriage cost them: the years in a rented house, the job one of them stayed in for the family, the illness the other nursed them through. Send two of those and the language they think in.

People make songs for an anniversary the night before all the time. NameDrop at ₹149 and Fully Custom at ₹249 both come back in minutes, so the day before is not a problem. Pro Studio at ₹1,499 needs 24 hours. Download the file to the phone that will actually be playing it rather than relying on the venue's internet.

Yes, and a lot of these are. The song arrives as a link, so there is no shipping and nothing to clear at customs, and it reaches them on the day in India even if you ordered it the night before from another time zone.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Anything from a quiet late night one for someone you live with, to a proposal song, to an apology that got out of hand. The useful distinction is not the genre but the volume. Some of these are meant for a room full of people and some are meant to be heard on one pair of headphones, and we write differently for each.

People do, and it works because it removes the need to find words in the moment. Tell us where you plan to do it and how long you have known her, and we keep the song short enough to hold attention and clear enough that she understands what is being asked.

Small, unromantic, true things. What she orders every time. The argument you both know you were wrong about. The way she says your name when she is annoyed. Beauty and forever are in every love song ever written, so they carry nothing. The specific detail is what makes her cry.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

It has to be danceable and it has to name people. A sangeet song that only mentions the couple wastes its best opportunity, because the room is full of relatives waiting to hear themselves. Give us four or five names and one joke per side of the family.

That is the point of a sangeet song. Send the names with their relationship and a line each about what they are known for, the uncle who dances first, the sister who organised everything, the cousin who is always late. Write the names in their own script if you want them pronounced correctly.

If the sangeet is tonight, NameDrop or Fully Custom will be in your hands in minutes. Pro Studio needs 24 hours, so only choose it if you have the day. People order these the same evening more often than you would think.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Haldi is daylight, family, and a lot of teasing, so the song wants warmth rather than grandeur. Tell us whose haldi it is, who is doing the smearing, and what everyone jokes about with them. Aunts and grandmothers are usually the loudest presence in the room, so name them.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Yes, and that is where it works best. It downloads as an ordinary audio file, so it goes on any phone or speaker. Keep it for the moment the haldi actually starts, and the room will stop and listen for the first verse.

Tempo and audience. Sangeet is evening and built for dancing, so it needs a beat and a chorus people can shout. Haldi is morning, seated, and full of older relatives, so it stays gentler and leans on teasing rather than energy. Plenty of families order both.

Mehndi runs long. The bride cannot move her hands, the cousins are sitting around her, and the same twenty people are in the room for hours. A mehndi song should suit sitting rather than dancing, and it can afford to be longer and more conversational than a sangeet track.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Yes, and it should. Whether the groom's name is hidden in the design, what your family sings while the henna dries, which grandmother insists on doing the first stroke. These specifics are exactly what makes the song sound like it came from inside the family.

Minutes for NameDrop and Fully Custom, so you can order it the morning of the function. Pro Studio takes up to 24 hours because our team writes and produces it by hand.

Both names, which families are meeting, and how the match came about, whether they found each other or were introduced. Engagements are the first time the two families sit in one room, so a song that acknowledges both sides does more work than one about the couple alone.

Yes. Cue it as the rings come out and let the first verse run while they exchange, so people are listening rather than only photographing. Downloading beforehand is wise, since venue wifi rarely cooperates.

Something warm and mid tempo tends to fit, because the room is mixed and formal-ish. You can go quieter and more classical if the families are traditional, or brighter if it is a young crowd. Play the samples on this page and tell us which felt right.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Time it to the walk, not to a standard song length. Most aisles take sixty to ninety seconds, and the entry usually starts before she is visible, so we build a slow intro and put her name on the first chorus. Measure the distance, tell us roughly how long she will take, and we cut the song to that. Both versions you receive are the same length, so the person handling the music has a spare.

Yes, and it is the reason to do this at all. Her name in the chorus, her father or brother or mother named in the verse, and one line about what this walk costs the family. Write the names in their own script if you want them pronounced correctly, राधिका rather than Radhika, and the singer will say them the way home says them.

Same craft, different tempo. A baraat entry wants percussion and a beat people can walk badly to, a groom entry on the stage wants something closer to a strut, and a couple entry at the reception can be either. Tell us which entry it is and who is entering, and we set the energy for that room rather than giving you the same track three times.

NameDrop at ₹149 and Fully Custom at ₹249 both come back in minutes, so a wedding tomorrow is not a problem. Pro Studio at ₹1,499 needs 24 hours, so only pick it if you have the day. Download the file to the phone that will actually be plugged into the speakers, and do not rely on the venue's internet.

Yes, and it changes the arrangement rather than just the tempo: one voice, a slow build, no percussion until she is halfway down the aisle. A custom bridal entry song can be either, and the same set of details produces two completely different walks, so say which one you want.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Their name, how long it has been, and two or three things that are true only of the two of you. What she orders every single time. The argument you both know you were wrong about. The trip that went wrong and became the story. Beautiful and forever are in every love song ever recorded, so they carry nothing. The small unromantic detail is the one that lands.

Mostly the date and the audience. A Valentine's song is being given on a specific day, usually privately, often as the whole gift rather than alongside one, so it can be more direct than a song that has to work at a party. If you want something evergreen that does not mention the day at all, say so and we leave the date out entirely.

Yes. NameDrop at ₹149 and Fully Custom at ₹249 come back in minutes, and plenty of these are ordered the same evening. Pro Studio at ₹1,499 takes 24 hours, so order that by the 13th. You get two versions each time, which is useful when you cannot decide which voice suits them.

People do, and it works because it removes the need to find words in the moment. Tell us where you are planning it and how long you have known them, and we keep the song short enough to hold attention and clear enough that the question is unmistakable. Say whether anyone else will be in the room, because that changes the writing completely.

Send their name, how long it has been, and two or three things that are true only of the two of you. Pick the singer by ear from the songs on this page. You hear a real Valentine's song in that voice before you pay, and the finished track comes back in minutes, which matters on the evening of 14 February.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

The name, what it means and who chose it, plus the grandparents and the aunts and uncles who should be named. The meaning is the part people forget to send, and it is usually the best line in the song. If your family follows particular rituals on the day, the cradle, the rice, the whispering of the name into the ear, tell us and we write around them rather than around a generic celebration.

Mostly a lullaby, because of where it ends up. The ceremony is one afternoon and the song then gets played at bedtime for years, so we keep it soft and slow with the name repeated gently rather than announced. If you specifically want something for the room, a warmer mid tempo version works, and you can ask for both since every order comes back as two versions.

Type it in its own script, अन्विका or அன்விகா, and it comes out the way your family says it rather than the way it reads in English. This matters more here than anywhere else, since the whole point of the day is the name. If the child has a formal name and a house name, send both and tell us which one the song should sing.

That is where most of its life is. Parents use these at bedtime, at the first birthday, and in the video they send to relatives who could not travel. Grandparents order them as the gift, which is why we keep the arrangement plain enough to survive being played on a phone speaker for the next three years.

Send the name in its own script, what it means, who chose it, and the family members who should be named in the verse. Pick the voice by ear from the songs on this page and hear a real naming ceremony song before you pay. Most families order about a week ahead, though it comes back in minutes if the ceremony is tomorrow.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

That is usually the whole reason people order one. Write the name in its own script, आरव or ஆரவ், and the singer will shape it correctly rather than flattening it into English. Hearing a child's own name sung is what makes families keep these for years.

Newborn through toddler, though parents are honestly the ones who end up attached to it. We keep the tempo slow, the arrangement thin, and the vocal soft and close, so it works for sleep rather than play. For older children, ask for a kids song instead and we make it bouncier.

It is one of the few baby gifts that does not end up in a cupboard. For a shower, we can write it about the waiting rather than the child. For a namkaran or cradle ceremony, the name becomes the centre of the song and it can be played during the ritual itself.

You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Songs where the child is the main character, not the audience. Their name in the chorus, their favourite thing in the verse, whatever they are currently obsessed with, dinosaurs or a cricket bat or one specific cartoon. Children work out very fast whether a song is really about them.

Tell us how old they are and we match it. Under five wants a short chorus and lots of repetition, because repetition is the entire point at that age. Seven to ten can follow a story and enjoys being teased gently. Teenagers want it to sound like actual music, so we drop the sing song entirely.

Please make it so. The more oddly specific the better: the stuffed elephant with one ear, the fact that she narrates her own football matches, the word he has been mispronouncing for a year. Those details are what a child remembers hearing about themselves.

You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

What the party is for, who is hosting, and the names of the four or five people everyone will look at when they are mentioned. A party song is really a group portrait with a beat, so names and running jokes matter more than sentiment here.

Yes, and download it in advance rather than relying on the venue's internet. It plays off any phone or speaker like a normal track. Cue it once early while people are still arriving and once later when everyone has loosened up.

Anything from Punjabi dhol to house to a retro film sound, depending on who is in the room. If the crowd spans grandparents to teenagers, ask for something mid tempo and melodic rather than heavy. The samples on this page are the quickest way to point at what you mean.

You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

The stupid stuff. Friendship songs go wrong when they get earnest too early. Lead with the specifics, the trip that went badly, the phase you both deny, the thing you say to each other instead of hello. Then let one line at the end say the thing neither of you says out loud.

Most of these are surprises. You get a link that plays the song on its own page with their name on it, so you can drop it into a chat with no explanation and let the song do the talking. Nothing needs installing at their end.

Group songs work well, and the trick is one line per person rather than general warmth about the group. Send four or five names with a single identifying detail each and the song will find its shape around them.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

It helps because it cannot be skimmed and it cannot be argued with. A message gets read defensively. A song gets listened to all the way through, and it makes clear that you sat down and thought about it, which is usually the thing they wanted evidence of.

What happened, in plain words, and what you would say if they were in front of you. Do not soften it for us. A song that admits the specific thing lands. One that gestures vaguely at mistakes being made sounds like a press release and makes it worse.

Parents, siblings, partners, friends who stopped replying. It suits the ones where the silence has gone on longer than the original argument deserved. It is a poor fit where an apology needs to be given in person, and a good fit where distance or pride has made that impossible.

Annual days, long service awards, a founder stepping back, a team that shipped something after a brutal year, and the farewell of someone everybody actually liked. The ones that work name real people and real projects. The ones that do not are the ones that try to sing the mission statement.

It can, but be warned that values language is where these songs die. What employees respond to is the specific and slightly self aware detail: the war room, the client nobody wants to name, the office move. Send us both and we will lean on the human half.

Yes, including a personalised version per employee for service awards or joining gifts. Write to us with numbers and timelines and we will work out the delivery. Teams also use this through our partner integrations rather than ordering one at a time.

How long they were there, what will be different without them, and one thing only the people staying would find funny. Farewell songs work when they are specific about the leaving, the desk, the shift, the route, the years. Good luck for the future is what a card says.

That is the usual case. Collect a line from each person and send them over, and the song will weave the names through rather than listing them. It also solves the problem of one person having to write on behalf of everybody.

Retirement is where these songs hit hardest, and it is the single most requested farewell we make. Thirty five years of government service, a vidaai from a department, a last day nobody quite knows how to mark. Tell us the years, the department and one thing they were known for, and the song will do the rest in front of the whole office.

A song lands hardest in the language someone thinks in, so pick theirs rather than yours. You can create in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Konkani, Maithili, Sanskrit and Nepali, along with English, Spanish, French and more, over 40 languages in all. You can also let two languages share one song the way most families actually speak. Type the name in its own script, राम or ராம், and the singer pronounces it the way home does.

Rakhi and birthdays mostly, but the ones that get replayed are the odd occasions: a sister leaving for another country, a brother getting married, a reconciliation after a few silent years. Siblings share a childhood nobody else was in, and that is unusually good material.

Those are the best possible input. The thing you were both punished for. What you fought over. The nickname that would embarrass them at work. Childhood detail is what makes a sibling song impossible for anyone else to have written.

Yes, with a line or two each. Send the names in birth order with one detail per person, and say who is sending it, so the song knows where it is standing. Some people prefer a separate short song per sibling, which also works.

Something ordinary they did for years without being thanked. The 5am tiffin. The scooter rides to tuition. The job he stayed in so you could study. Parents do not want to hear that they are the best. They want proof that you noticed, and one concrete detail is that proof.

One each, if you can. Most people have a different relationship with each parent, and a joint song tends to flatten both into a general idea of parents. A single song works well when the occasion is theirs together, like an anniversary.

It is our most ordered gift on both, and the sensible move is to order a couple of days early rather than that morning. Choose a language they think in rather than the one you work in. For a mother or grandmother who prays in Hindi or Tamil, a song in that language does something that English cannot.

Exam results, a first job, a promotion, clearing a competitive exam after several attempts, a new house, a business that finally turned a corner. The second and third attempt stories are the ones that make the best songs, because there is something to say about the years in between.

It should. The rank, the college, the company, the exam, the shop they opened. Vagueness is what makes congratulation messages forgettable. Naming the specific thing is what makes someone save the song.

Bright, but not so triumphant that it embarrasses them. The ones that work best acknowledge the difficulty before the win, the years of coaching classes, the rejections. Celebration without the struggle sounds thin.

Teachers, doctors and nurses, a mentor, the neighbour who showed up during an illness, someone who quietly lent money once. The recipients are usually people who are thanked in words often and remembered in gestures rarely.

The specific thing they did and what it changed for you. Not their qualities but their act, the night they stayed, the call they took, the form they filled. Gratitude in a song only works when the listener can recognise the exact moment being described.

It is one of the better ones, particularly from a whole class, because it costs less than most group gifts and is far harder to forget. Send the teacher's name, the subject, and the phrase they always repeat. That phrase in a chorus tends to get the biggest reaction in the room.

Songs for a specific person facing a specific thing, which is what separates these from gym playlists. A student two weeks from an exam. Someone restarting after a business failed. Someone in treatment. The song names the thing they are up against rather than shouting generally about winning.

Yes, and it should carry both. The goal in the chorus and the name in the hook is what makes people replay one of these every morning. Tell us the target and the deadline and we write towards it.

People do. Ask for something at a running tempo and we will keep the arrangement driving and the vocal forward. Say so upfront though, because a song written for exam nerves and a song written for the last kilometre are built differently.

Bhajans, kirtans, aartis and quieter prayers, written for a particular deity and often for a particular family. People order them for a home pooja, a temple event, a fast, or in memory of someone. We keep the language and the form traditional, and put the family or the occasion inside it.

Yes, and name it precisely. Krishna at Janmashtami, Ganesh at Chaturthi, Mata Rani for Navratri, Ayyappa for the Mandala season, Balaji, Khatu Shyam, Murugan, Jagannath at Rath Yatra. Tell us the deity, the festival and the language, and if your family sings particular lines already, send those too.

They are usually made for exactly that: a griha pravesh, a satsang, a temple opening, a shraddhanjali. Download it beforehand and keep it on the phone that will be connected to the speaker, since these moments do not wait for a buffering track.

Diwali, Holi, Rakhi, Navratri, Onam, Pongal, Bihu, Poila Boishakh, Gudi Padwa, Eid, Christmas and the new year. The ones that matter most are the ones where somebody is missing from the house, because a song is one of the few things that travels the distance intact.

That is what makes a festival song yours rather than a greeting. Who cooks what, which cousin arrives late every year, the sweet only your grandmother makes properly, the argument that happens over cards. Send two or three of those and the song stops sounding generic immediately.

Yes, and it works far better than a forwarded image. You get a page that plays the song with the name on it, so you can send it to family and to people you work with. For a shorter greeting, ask us to keep it to a single verse and chorus.
