Create my song

Proposing means solving two problems at once: finding the moment and finding the words. A song solves both. It tells the story of how you met, what changed since, and then it asks the question out loud, so you do not have to get the sentence out through a shaking voice.

Nothing leaves your hands until you want it to. You write the brief alone, you read the lyrics alone, and the file sits on your phone under whatever name you like. Nothing is sent to them. Nothing is announced. It only exists for them when you press play.

How to write your brief

Ideas to include

How it started

The night you met, the friend who introduced you, the first trip. The song needs a beginning so that the question at the end feels earned rather than dropped in.

The question at the end

Tell us the exact words you want, and whether the song builds to them or arrives at them quietly. That final line is the one to get right, so you approve it first.

The scene you are planning

The beach, the kitchen, the hotel room, the family waiting in the next room. Tell us the setting and we shape the length and the mood to fit that moment.

Perfect for

  • Someone proposing to their girlfriend or boyfriend
  • A partner planning a private proposal at home
  • Anyone proposing away from home, on a trip
  • A proposal with family or friends hidden nearby

Tone ideas

  • Intimate and quiet, for a proposal with nobody watching
  • Cinematic and building, for a moment with an audience
  • Warm and a little funny, if that is how you two talk
  • Plain and unadorned, so the question is the loudest thing in it

Message example

You said yes, so here it is properly. La Ritournelle turned the night at Callum's party, the flat with no heating, and the two years since into a song, and that song was the proposal. Keep it.

Your story, the exact words of the question, and the scene you are planning down to the moment.

You press play

Nothing has been sent to them. It exists for them the second you decide, and not before.

Why La Ritournelle

Frequently asked questions

Will they find out before I propose?

No. Nothing is sent to them, they get no notification, and no account is created in their name. The song only reaches them when you play it.

Can I save it under a name that gives nothing away?

Yes. You download the file and rename it to anything you like before it goes on your phone, so a glance at your screen reveals nothing.

Can I choose the exact wording of the question?

Yes. Put the words you want in the brief and you read them in the lyrics before anything is sung. If the line is not right, you change it and we sing it your way.

What if I get cold feet on the day?

Then it waits. The song is a file on your phone with no deadline attached. It does nothing until you press play, whether that is tonight or next month.
