A Graduation Song With Their Name in It
Graduation cards say the same thing every year. A song can say the real thing: the late nights, the year they almost quit, how proud you are and what comes next. Tell SongUp AI about the graduate and the AI writes and sings an original song with their name in the chorus.
It arrives as a gift page with your message and a photo, plus the MP3 for the party. One song is $2.99, paid once, and ready in minutes.

How to make a graduation song
Step 1
Say what they finished
High school, college, university, nursing school, a PhD. The subject and the school make the song theirs.
Step 2
Add the struggle and the win
The hard exam, the part-time job, the year they nearly gave up. A song without the struggle is just a card.
Step 3
Point to the future
Their first job, a move to a new city, travel, the next degree. That gives the last chorus its lift.
Step 4
Play it at the party
Play it when they walk in, under a photo slideshow, or send the gift page on the morning of the ceremony.
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.
