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.
The exact length depends on how much you tell us. Someone who enters three anecdotes, two nicknames and a shared memory gets a longer song than someone who gives only a name and an occasion. The usual range is two to four minutes, which is exactly where normal songs sit.
The structure follows what listeners expect: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, often a third verse and an ending that picks the name up one more time. The chorus repeats on purpose, because that is the part a room can sing along to after hearing it twice, without knowing the words in advance.
In practice that means the song fits into a speech, a toast, a slideshow or the moment the cake comes in. It is short enough that a party does not stall and long enough that the story actually makes it in, not just the name.
The free preview covers the first 45 seconds, so as a rule the first verse and the start of the chorus. You still see the complete lyrics alongside it, which means you know before paying what happens in the remaining minutes and how the song ends.
If you need a specific length, for a video with a fixed runtime for instance, you can cut the song freely after buying. The usage right expressly allows you to edit, shorten and remix the file.
