A custom song for a kid
A song with their name in it, which they will make you play forty times before Thursday.
Lyrics and music made with La Ritournelle AI
Give a kid a toy and you have bought yourself a week. Give a kid a song with their own name in the chorus and you have created a monster: it will be requested in the car, at bath time, at breakfast, and to anyone who visits the house.
That is the point. It is not a keepsake for later, it is a thing they play now, loudly, while doing an invented dance in the kitchen. It costs less than the toy and it lasts considerably longer.
How to write your brief
Ideas to include
Their name in the chorus
The single thing that makes a kid lose their mind. Build the hook on it and everything else follows.
Their current obsession
Dinosaurs, tractors, sharks, one specific stuffed rabbit. Whatever it is this month, put it in the song.
A song for a job
A tune for brushing teeth, a car ride, or getting shoes on. A song they like will do things a parent cannot.
Perfect for
- Parents who want something better than another plastic toy
- Grandparents who have exhausted every idea
- An aunt or uncle aiming to be the favorite
- A family with siblings who all want to be named
Tone ideas
- Silly and singable, built for shouting along
- Bouncy and upbeat for the car
- Gentle and slow for winding down at bedtime
- Adventurous and cinematic, casting them as the hero
Message example
Milo, La Ritournelle turned your name, the dinosaurs, and the tractor into a song for kids that is only about you. Sorry in advance to your parents.
