Frequently Asked Questions

Head to the Story Builder, answer a few guided questions about the person or moment your song is for, and tell us your preferred music style. our studio takes it from there — no account, no back-and-forth calls needed to get started.

Names, key details, memories, inside jokes — anything that makes the story specifically yours. The more color you give us, the more the finished song sounds like it could only be about your person. There's no minimum; even a few honest sentences is enough to work with.

Absolutely — most orders are gifts. Just answer the Story Builder from your perspective as the gift-giver, and let us know it's a surprise if you'd like the delivery email worded that way.

That's normal, and it's exactly what the Story Builder is for — it prompts you with specific questions instead of a blank page. If you're still stuck, reach out and the studio can talk it through with you before you submit anything.

Yes, in part. We use AI music tools to create each song from the story you give us. Then our studio takes over: we review the track, rework what isn't right, and finish it on professional equipment. Our lyricist, Vicki Lee, refines the lyrics on songs that need it. You get the speed of AI with a real studio standing behind the result.

Each song starts as an AI-generated draft built from your story. Vicki Lee, our lyricist with 60+ years of songwriting experience, reworks the lyrics on songs that need a human hand, and the Studio 105 team reviews and finishes every track — the same team that handles any changes you ask for.

Yes. The Story Builder lets you specify your preferred style — country, pop, acoustic, R&B, and more — alongside your story details, and your song is created around that direction.

That's the whole point. Specific, personal details are what separate a custom song from a generic one — names, dates, nicknames, private jokes, and small moments all help us create something that couldn't be about anyone else.

Yes. SongCreations is the custom song service offered by Studio 105 Recording, a working recording studio in Jacksonville, FL. It isn't a separate company or an outside app — your song is written and produced by the same studio and team.

Yes, absolutely! We welcome client-submitted lyrics. However, please keep in mind how word count affects physical print deliverables like our Print-Ready Wall Art (which includes your lyrics, song title, names, decorative border, and a scannable QR code formatted for standard 8.5x11 printing). To ensure your wall art remains beautiful, elegant, and easy to read, we recommend keeping full-printed custom lyrics to around 150 to 200 words (roughly 2 to 3 verses and a chorus).

Yes, but we use layout options so it stays readable! Squeezing a song that runs over 4 minutes or has more than 200 words, a border, and a QR code onto an 8.5x11 sheet forces the text down to a tiny, unreadable font size. For long songs or high word counts, we format your wall art in one of two ways:

1. Featured Excerpt (Recommended): We display your song title, names, chorus, and key signature verses in a clean, elegant font size alongside your scannable QR code. (Scanning the code streams your complete, full-length song!)

2. Two-Column Layout / Larger Format: We format the lyrics into a multi-column design or deliver your digital print file pre-sized for a larger frame (such as 11x14) so every word stays crisp.

Most custom songs are delivered within 48 hours of completing the Story Builder. If you request revisions, a reworked version usually lands within 24-48 hours of sending your notes.

Your finished track is delivered straight to your inbox as a downloadable audio file, ready to play, share, or add to a video or slideshow.

With the standard 48-hour turnaround, most life events and gift deadlines are easy to hit if you place your order a few days ahead. If your date is tighter than that, reach out to the studio directly before ordering so we can confirm timing.

You're covered by the Happiness Promise — unlimited revisions within 7 days of delivery, at no extra cost. Notes go directly to the studio team that finished your song, not a support queue.

There's no cap. As long as you're within the 7-day window after delivery, you can send as many rounds of notes as it takes to get the song right.

Revisions cover the creative content of your track — lyrics, melody, vocal delivery, and mix — within the 7-day window following delivery. We just ask that your notes stay tied to the story you originally gave us, so every version still sounds like it's about you.

Just reply to your delivery email with what you'd like changed — a lyric, the tempo, the vocal tone, anything at all. It goes straight to the studio team, and a reworked version usually comes back within 24-48 hours.

Yes. Every finished track comes with full personal-use rights, and it's 100% royalty-free for personal use — no licensing fees, no performance royalties, ever.

Yes — add the Commercial Rights License ($50) when you order, and your song can go straight into ads, videos or in-store play. Business jingles are a flat $149 with the license already included.

No. One order, one price, one song that's yours forever — no performance royalties, no renewal fees, no surprise invoices down the road.

Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and other milestones are the most common, but any real story works — see the Occasions & Milestones page for the full range.

Yes. We write tribute songs for both people and pets whose voices live on through music — handled with the same care as every other custom track. More detail is on the Memorials & Tributes page.

Yes — jingles and brand anthems are one of our specialties, written to be genuinely memorable rather than generic. Visit the Commercial & Jingles page to get started.
