A custom song for Valentine's Day
The one Valentine's gift that cannot be bought in a checkout aisle on February 13th.
Lyrics and music made with La Ritournelle AI
Every February the same three options show up: flowers that die by the weekend, a box of chocolates, and a card with someone else's poem printed inside it. A custom Valentine's Day song is the opposite of all that. It uses your names, your first date, the argument you now laugh about, the thing they say every morning that you would miss immediately if it stopped.
It works whether you have been together six months or sixteen years, and it works over distance, which matters more than people admit. Send the link at 7am, play it in the car, cue it up when the plates are cleared. It costs less than dinner and it is still around next February, and the one after that.
How to write your brief
Ideas to include
The origin story
Where you met, what they were wearing, who texted first, and the moment you knew this one was different.
The unglamorous stuff
The Sunday routines, the way they load the dishwasher wrong, the running joke only the two of you understand. Specific beats poetic every time.
The long distance Valentine
Different cities, different time zones, counting down to the next visit. A song lands where a bouquet cannot.
Perfect for
- A partner who insists they do not want anything
- A boyfriend or girlfriend in the first year, when the pressure is highest
- A spouse who has already been given every gift on the list
- Someone you are dating long distance and cannot see on the night
Tone ideas
- Warm and romantic, slow and close
- Funny and affectionate, teasing them the way you actually do
- Indie and understated, for someone allergic to schmaltz
- Old school soul, big voiced and completely unembarrassed
Message example
Happy Valentine's Day, Sarah. I could not find a card that said any of this, so I had La Ritournelle put it in a song instead. Headphones on.
