Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Story Song?
A Story Song is a completely custom, radio-quality song written from your story. You share a few details about someone you love, a special moment, or a message you want to capture — and our team transforms it into an original song that’s as personal as a handwritten letter, but made to last a lifetime.
What makes Story Song different?
We combine human creativity with cutting-edge music technology to make your story sound unforgettable. Every lyric and melody is crafted by professional songwriters and producers, not generated by templates. You’ll receive a song that feels personal, emotional, and professionally produced — something you could actually imagine hearing on the radio.
What’s the difference between a Standard and Premium Story Song Commission?
Our Premium Commission is a fully produced, deeply personalized custom song built from a richer creative process. We hop on a Zoom session to explore your story together, uncover meaningful details, and shape the emotional arc of your song. This version includes fuller instrumentation, more nuanced production, two versions for you to choose from, and up to four revisions to make sure it feels exactly right. It’s designed for bigger moments, deeper stories, and maximum emotional impact.
Our Standard Commission delivers a beautifully crafted custom song with a simpler production style and a more streamlined creative process. It focuses on the heart of your story with clean, intentional instrumentation and a warm, intimate feel. Sometimes the most powerful songs are the ones told simply—and this option preserves that clarity while still giving you a meaningful, personal Story Song.
How long does it take?
Standard turnaround time is 7 days from the time we receive your story. Need it faster? See check out options.
Can I give a Story Song as a gift?
Yep, that’s usually what our customers pay us for. Story Songs make unforgettable gifts for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, memorials, or any moment worth celebrating.
What themes can I choose from?
Anything that matters to you. Popular themes include:
Love and relationships
Milestones, birthdays, and anniversaries
Weddings, engagements, and proposals
Tributes and memorials
Encouragement, hope, or faith
Family stories, inside jokes, or “just because” surprises
Your song can be romantic, funny, spiritual, nostalgic, or completely unique — whatever fits your story.
What if I’m not happy?
We’ll make it right. If your Story Song doesn’t feel like “you,” or “them,” we’ll revise the lyrics and/or production until it does. Our goal is always the same: a song you love every time, period.
How will I receive my finished song?
You’ll receive a private download link by email. From there, you can stream your song on any device, download the MP3 or WAV file.
Can I play or post my song publicly?
Yes — you can play your Story Song at private events (like weddings, memorials, or church gatherings) and share it privately online or with loved ones. If you’d like to use your song for commercial purposes — such as advertising, film, podcasts, or monetized videos — please contact hello@storysongs.co for a commercial-use license.
Can I choose the style or genre?
Yes. You can request your song to sound like your favorite artist or style — country, pop, worship, folk, R&B, cinematic, or anything in between.
Do you make faith-based songs?
Yes — many customers request faith-based themes, prayers, or worship-inspired songs. But you’re not limited to faith content; your Story Song can reflect any kind of love, gratitude, or emotion that’s meaningful to you.
Who owns the song once it’s finished?
You own your story — we own the song. That means you can enjoy, share, and play it freely for personal use, but we retain the rights to the composition and recording (so we can help protect your song, showcase it in our portfolio, or license it commercially). If you’d like exclusive or commercial ownership, contact hello@storysongs.co.
