Lyrics you review and approve · 7,99 € · ready in minutes

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.

Why La Ritournelle

Frequently asked questions

Can you include all my kids?

Yes. Give us every name in the brief and we can name each of them, which saves you the argument about whose song it is.

What ages does this work for?

Roughly two upward. Toddlers respond to hearing their name and a bouncy tune, older kids notice the details you fed us about their life. Tell us the age and we pitch it there.

Can it be a calm bedtime song instead?

Yes. Ask for a gentle, slow version and we keep the melody soft, which is a very different tool than the kitchen dancing one.

Their party is tomorrow. Is that enough time?

Yes. Send the brief and the song is ready in minutes, so even a last minute one gets played on the day. Then it gets replayed for months, which is considerably longer than the toy.
