Need an idea? Start from one of these
Love songs are the oldest kind of song, and the hardest to write without sounding like every other one. What makes yours different is the story: where you met, the joke you still repeat, the ordinary Tuesday you think about.
Give ChatUp those details and a name. It writes a love song around them and sings it. Play it at the anniversary dinner, send it on Valentine’s morning, or use it as the first dance.
Ideas to start from
Wedding first-dance song
“A slow, romantic first-dance song for Amara and Theo, who met in a bookshop queue and have argued happily about books ever since”
- With vocals
- R&B
- Heartfelt lyrics
Valentine’s song
“A sweet Valentine’s song for my girlfriend Ines about Sunday crosswords, cold feet under the blanket and her laugh that fills the whole street”
- With vocals
- Indie pop
- Heartfelt lyrics
Long-distance love song
“A love song about a long-distance relationship: video calls across time zones, counting down to the airport, and the first hug at arrivals”
- With vocals
- Pop
- Serious lyrics
How it works
Tell your story
Who it is for, how you met, and two or three moments that matter. Small and true beats grand and general.
Set the mood
Heartfelt is the natural choice; serious suits a song about distance or a hard year; funny suits a couple who laugh at everything.
Choose the sound
Acoustic for a quiet, close song; R&B for slow and smooth; pop or indie pop for something bright.
Give it to them
Create the song, then play it in person or send the MP3.
Occasions for a love song
Some of the moments people make love songs for:
- Anniversaries, first or fiftieth.
- A wedding first dance or the walk down the aisle.
- A proposal, played just before the question.
- Valentine’s Day, or a random weekday when it means more.
- A long-distance reunion.
Keep it sounding like you
If a generated line feels too polished, it probably is. Copy the lyrics, rewrite the lines in your own words, and make the song again with “Use my lyrics”. A slightly clumsy line that is true lands better than a perfect one that isn’t.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I make a song for my wedding?
- Yes. Describe the couple and the moment, pick a slow style such as acoustic or R&B, and download the MP3 for the venue’s sound system or DJ.
- Can I use our names in the song?
- Yes. Names in the description usually appear in the lyrics. For a name in an exact line, write the lyrics yourself.
- What style works best for a love song?
- Acoustic and R&B suit slow, intimate songs. Pop and indie pop suit bright, happy ones. Try two and keep the one that sounds like the two of you.
- Can I make it instrumental for a first dance?
- Yes. Switch to Instrumental for romantic music with no singing.
