Birthday songs
AI Birthday Song Generator
A song with someone’s name in the chorus beats another card. Tell SongUp who it’s for, a couple of details only you would know and the style they love, and the AI writes and sings an original birthday song you can download and share.
Personalised songs are composed from your prompt on Pro. The free plan gives you instant birthday songs matched from the SongUp library, which won’t include a name.
How to make a personalised birthday song
Step 1
Gather the details
Their name, the age or milestone, and two or three specifics: a shared joke, a hobby, a place you went together.
Step 2
Pick a style they actually like
A country fan will smile more at a country song than a generic party tune. Say the genre, tempo and voice.
Step 3
Put the name in the chorus
Ask for a chorus that repeats the name, or on Pro write the chorus yourself so the name lands exactly where you want it.
Step 4
Download and send
Download the MP3, or send the song’s share link in WhatsApp, a text or an e-card.

Use this prompt →Tips for a birthday song that feels personal
- Specific beats generic: “the time you drove us to the beach at 3am” says more than “you’re a great friend”.
- If a name comes out mispronounced, spell it the way it sounds, for example “Shiv-awn” for Siobhan.
- Ask for a short song if it’s going into a video or a message.
- For a party, ask for a simple chorus everyone can sing back.
- Make two versions in different styles and keep the one that sounds most like them.

Frequently asked questions
Can the birthday song include their name?
Yes, on Pro: the song is composed from your prompt, so the name can go into the lyrics, or you can write the lyrics yourself. Free instant songs are matched from the SongUp library and don’t include names.
How long does it take?
Free instant songs arrive in about 10 seconds. Pro songs are composed from scratch for your prompt, so they take a little longer.
Can I make a birthday song in another language?
Yes. Songs can be made in English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. Choose the language under Advanced and describe the song in the prompt.
Can I post the song on Instagram or TikTok?
Free-plan songs can be shared for non-commercial use with attribution. If the post is monetised or promotes a business, make the song on a paid plan, which includes commercial rights.
