Ordering & The Process
How it all works
How do I order a song?+
Choose your package (Essential, Signature, or Prestige), then complete our detailed questionnaire about the person you're celebrating — their personality, memories, hobbies, and the little details that make them who they are. Once submitted and paid for, your order goes straight into production.
What information will I need to provide?+
Our questionnaire asks about the person's personality, a shared memory or story, their hobbies and interests, any quirks or phrases they're known for, and anything else that helps us understand them. The more detail you provide, the more personal and accurate your song will be.
You don't need to be a writer — just tell us what you'd tell a close friend.
Can I save my answers and come back later?+
We understand the questionnaire can take some thought, especially for memorial songs. If you need to step away, simply email us at hello@lastinglyrics.co.uk and we can help you pick up where you left off.
How will I know my order has been received?+
You'll receive a confirmation email as soon as your order and payment are successfully processed, along with your expected delivery timeframe based on your chosen package.
Can I write the lyrics myself, or suggest specific lines?+
Absolutely. While most customers prefer to share memories and let us shape the lyrics, you're welcome to suggest specific phrases, lines, or even a title you'd love included — just add this to the relevant section of the questionnaire.
Your Song
What you'll receive
What music styles can I choose from?+
We offer a wide range of styles to suit any occasion, including Pop, Ballad, Acoustic/Folk, Country, R&B/Soul, Rock, Indie, Jazz, Gospel/Soulful, Reggae, Musical Theatre, and Rap/Hip-Hop. If you're unsure which would suit the person best, let us know a little about their taste in music and we can advise.
How is my song actually made?+
Every detail you share is used to write lyrics and shape a melody around your story. Your song is then composed, arranged and produced as a complete track with vocals, in the music style you've chosen.
Each song is created individually, one at a time — never mass-produced, and never reused for another customer.
Will I get to hear the lyrics before the song is finished?+
We don't share lyrics or drafts in advance — your song is delivered as a complete, finished track. This allows us to focus on getting the whole piece right, music and lyrics together, rather than reviewing isolated text.
If the finished song isn't quite right, your package includes revisions to refine it — see our Delivery & Revisions section below.
Can I choose a male or female vocal?+
Yes — our questionnaire includes an option to specify your preference for the vocal style, and we'll do our best to match it to suit the song and occasion.
What format will my song be delivered in?+
Your finished song is delivered as a high quality MP3 file, sent directly to the email address you provide at checkout. This can be played on any device, shared with family, burned to a CD, or used however you'd like.
Pricing & Packages
Choosing the right package
What's the difference between Essential, Signature and Prestige?+
All three packages result in a complete, fully produced original song — there's no "lesser" version. The differences come down to delivery time, the number of revisions included, and extras like printable or frameable lyric sheets.
- Essential (£29) — delivered in 3 days, 1 revision
- Signature (£59) — delivered in 48 hours, 2 revisions, printable lyric sheet
- Prestige (£99) — delivered in 24 hours, 5 revisions, priority production, printable & frameable lyric sheet
Do you ever offer discounts or sales?+
We don't run regular sales or discount codes — our pricing reflects the time and care that goes into every song, every time. From time to time we may run a genuinely limited founding or early-access offer, which will always be clearly marked on our site.
What payment methods do you accept?+
Payments are processed securely via Stripe, supporting major debit and credit cards. You'll be guided to a secure payment page once you've completed your order details.
Is VAT included in the price?+
Our prices are shown as the total amount you'll pay — there are no hidden fees added at checkout.
Delivery & Revisions
After you order
How long will it take to receive my song?+
This depends on your chosen package: Essential within 3 days, Signature within 48 hours, and Prestige within 24 hours. Timeframes begin once your order and questionnaire are fully submitted and payment is confirmed.
What if I don't like the finished song?+
Every package includes at least one round of revisions, so we can adjust elements like lyrics, tone, or specific details to better match what you had in mind. Signature includes 2 rounds, and Prestige includes 5 rounds.
To request a revision, simply reply to your delivery email with your feedback, and we'll work with you to refine the song within your package's allowance.
What happens once I've used all my included revisions?+
If you'd like further changes beyond your package's included revisions, additional revision rounds can be purchased separately. Get in touch and we'll let you know the cost for your specific request.
Can I get a refund if I'm not happy?+
Because each song is custom-made specifically for you, we're not able to offer refunds once a song has been delivered. We're committed to working with you through your included revisions to get the song right. Full details are available in our Refund Policy.
What if I made a mistake in my order (wrong details, spelling, etc.)?+
If you spot an error shortly after submitting, email us straight away at hello@lastinglyrics.co.uk and we'll do our best to update it before production begins. Once production has started, corrections may need to be handled as part of your included revisions.
I need my song by a specific date — can you help?+
Choose the package with a delivery time that works for your date, and mention the occasion date in your questionnaire. While we can't guarantee early delivery outside of package timeframes, we'll always do what we can to help, especially for Prestige orders.
Exclusivity & Privacy
Your song, and your information
Will my song be available on Spotify or other streaming platforms?+
No. Your song is created exclusively for you and is never uploaded to any streaming platform, sold, or shared with anyone else. It belongs to you alone.
Can I share my song publicly if I want to?+
Of course — once delivered, the song is yours to enjoy and share however you like, whether that's playing it at an event, sending it to family, or posting it on your own social media.
What happens to the personal information I share?+
The details you share are used solely to create your song. We take privacy seriously — full details on what we collect, how it's used, and your rights are available in our Privacy Policy.
Will the person the song is about know I've ordered this?+
That's entirely up to you — many customers keep it as a surprise for a special occasion, while others involve the recipient from the start. We send all communications to the email address provided at checkout, so you're in control of who knows.
Memorial Songs
For songs in loving memory
Do you create songs for people who have passed away?+
Yes. We create memorial and tribute songs with the same care and attention as any other order, often used for funerals, services, anniversaries, or simply as a way to keep someone's memory close. Visit our Memorial & Tribute Songs page for more.
Is the process different for a memorial song?+
The process and pricing are the same as our other songs — you'll complete the same thoughtful questionnaire, sharing memories, personality, and the things that made them who they were. We understand this can take time, and there's no need to rush.
Can a memorial song be ready in time for a funeral or service?+
Our Prestige package offers 24-hour delivery with priority production, which may help if you're working to a tight date. Please mention your timeframe in the questionnaire and we'll do everything we can to support you.
