How It Works

A step-by-step look at the whole journey, from lyrics to a released track.

1. Upload your lyrics

Paste in your lyrics and tell us a bit about the sound you're after — genre, mood, reference tracks, anything that helps our producers understand the vision.

2. Choose your package and pay

Pick a package (see Pricing) and check out securely by card. Your payment is processed by Stripe — we never see or store your card details.

3. We produce two original songs

A member of our production team takes your lyrics and produces two distinct song versions — different takes on the same words, so you have a real choice rather than one single attempt.

4. Listen and choose

Once both songs are ready, you'll be able to stream them right on the site and pick the one you want to take forward.

5. Request edits

Not quite right? Tell us what to change in your own words — “make the chorus more upbeat”, “slow the second verse down” — and our producers will revise it. Your package includes one edit round; need more? Extra rounds can be purchased any time.

6. Release

Happy with it? Click Release and we'll take care of everything that goes with putting a track out worldwide: registering it, getting it to major streaming platforms, and managing that release for as long as it's live.
