Who sings the song? Is that a real voice?

The voice is generated by AI, not recorded by a studio singer. It sounds like a produced record, with vocals, instruments and a real arrangement, and you choose beforehand whether the song is sung by a male voice, a female voice, a duet or a choir, plus the musical style and the mood.

How long is the finished song?

Usually between two and four minutes, the length of a normal song on the radio. Two or three verses and a recurring chorus is the standard shape. The first 45 seconds of it are free to listen to.

What format do I get my song in?

As an MP3 file to download, plus the lyrics as text. MP3 plays on every phone, every computer and every sound system, and it drops straight into WhatsApp, a slide deck or a video without conversion.

What if I do not like the song?

Before buying: you simply do not buy, the preview was free. After buying: send us an email and we produce new versions at no extra cost until you are happy with it (up to six new versions).

Full answer →

What language will the song be sung in?

In English, the language you are reading right now. You write your answers in English and you get a song sung in English, with an English chorus and English pronunciation.

Can I use the song freely, including commercially?

Yes. On full payment you receive a usage right unlimited in time, place and purpose that expressly includes commercial use. You are also allowed to edit, shorten and remix the song.

What happens to the personal details I enter?

They are used to write your song and deliver it to you. We do not publish your song and do not use it as a sample unless you expressly allow it. It sits behind a link nobody can guess.

Full answer →

Which payment methods can I use?

Credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. With all of those payment confirms in seconds and your song is there straight away. A bank transfer takes up to one business day.

Full answer →

Can I cancel the order or get a refund?

The statutory right of withdrawal ends immediately here, because your song is produced individually the moment you buy. In exchange the preview is free, and if the result is unusable we produce a new version at no extra cost.

Why not just use a free AI song generator?

Because the work is not in the generating, it is in the lyrics and the prompt. A free tool hands you an empty box. Here you answer questions and get finished lyrics, a fitting arrangement and clear usage rights. And the quality gap is wide: free tools mostly hand out a short excerpt in a low bitrate, here you get the whole song as an MP3 at 320 kbit/s.

What information do I need to order a song?

The occasion, the name of the person, your relationship to them and a few memories or quirks. Plus mood, musical style and voice. Five minutes of thinking is enough, and the more specific the details, the more personal the song.

Full answer →

Can I have the lyrics changed afterwards?

Yes. Before you pay, every new version is free, you simply fill in the form again. After you pay, you write to us saying which line is off and get a new version at no extra cost, until you are happy with it (up to six new versions).

Full answer →

Are names and numbers pronounced correctly?

Common names almost always land right. Rare spellings can slip, and numbers are safest written out as words. You hear it in the free preview before you pay, and if something is off after the purchase we redo it at no cost.

Full answer →

Can I get my text on a well-known melody to sing along to?

No. We do not record your text over a protected melody, the rights belong to someone else and a licence costs many times the price of the song. You get an original melody written for your words instead, with a chorus the room can join by the second time around.

Full answer →

Can I choose the voice, male or female?

Yes. You pick male, female, a duet or a choir, plus the musical style and the mood. That is set in the form before the song is made, and if the result does not fit you can change the choice and run it again for free.

Full answer →

I paid and did not receive a song. What now?

Look in the spam folder first, that is where the mail lands in most cases. If it is not there, open songgifts.co.uk/download/ and enter the address you ordered with, we send the link again. If the address itself had a typo, write to songs@maxkuch.com and we find the order by hand.

Is my song published anywhere?

No. Your song goes nowhere public: not to Spotify, not to YouTube, not into a gallery, not onto our own pages as an example. It sits behind a long random link that search engines are told not to index, you download it as an MP3 and keep it, and what you do with it afterwards is entirely your call.
