Birthday songs
AI Birthday Song Generator
A song with someone’s name in the chorus beats another card. Tell SongUp AI 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.
A free account hears a 30-second preview of its own song, once, before paying anything. The full song with their name is $2.99 as a one-time gift, or part of Pro. The free plan also gives you instant birthday songs matched from the SongUp AI library, which won’t include a name.
- Their name, sung
- Ready in minutes
- $2.99 once, no subscription

A birthday song with their name in it
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.
What they see when they open it
You don’t send a file. You send a link to a gift page made for them: when they open it, the song plays with your message and a photo you choose. It works on any phone, with nothing to install.
- Your message and your own photo above the song.
- You can see when the link was opened.
- Spotted a typo? Edit the message later; the link stays the same.
- Send it on WhatsApp, by text or by email, or download the MP3 and play it in person.
Prompts to try
Each one opens in the Create studio, ready to edit.

- 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, when the song is composed from your prompt: as a $2.99 one-time gift song or on Pro. The name goes into the lyrics, or you can write the lyrics yourself. Free songs are instant matches from the SongUp AI library and don’t include names.
How long does it take?
Instant songs arrive in about 10 seconds. Composed songs, which every Pro song is, are made 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, Portuguese, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Persian, Indonesian, Malay, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Swahili, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Nepali, Sinhala, Pashto, Hausa, Yoruba, Amharic, Polish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Romanian, Greek, Hebrew, Burmese, Khmer, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Kurdish, Czech, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Lithuanian, Albanian, Catalan, Kazakh, Georgian, Armenian, Mongolian, Lao, Javanese, Sundanese, Cebuano, Odia, Assamese, Sindhi, Somali, Zulu, Igbo, Afrikaans, Haitian Creole and Tigrinya. Choose the language under Customize & 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.
What is the cheapest way to get an AI birthday song with their name in it?
Hear a free 30-second preview of your own song with a free account, then pay $2.99 once for the full song with their name sung in it. There is no subscription. Free-plan instant songs come from the SongUp AI library and carry no name.
Is there a free AI birthday song generator with a name?
The free account gives you one 30-second preview of a song composed for your prompt, which can include the name. The full-length song with a name is the $2.99 gift song or part of Pro.
What do I need to type to get a good birthday song?
The name, the age or milestone, two or three specifics only you would know, the genre and the voice you want. Asking for the name and age in the chorus makes it easy to sing along.
