The soundtrack of a 90s kid
From neon gel pens to streaming playlists
Born in the mid-80s, Lisa grew up with the buzz of dial-up internet and the glow of neon gel pens scribbling homework on notebook paper. The soundtrack of her teen years was a mix of boy-band choruses and the first pop-up hits on MTV, with S Club 7 ruling the school disco and mixtapes swapping in the back of her locker.
Evenings were filled with the clatter of the family TV as Friends and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air flickered across the screen, while the kitchen radio played the latest chart-toppers. Those same beats still make her twirl around the kitchen island, a reminder that the rhythm of her youth never really left.
A worked example
Meet Lisa, our example birthday star
Lisa isn't a real customer, but the details below show the kind of memories families send us. Your song would be built from your own words.
Lisa
Turning 40. 90s kid, now boss, mother of two, dance-floor queen.
- Glitter gel pens, neon notebooks
- Mixtapes of S Club on repeat
- Kitchen radio moves that never stop
- Two kids, a big promotion, zero patience for nonsense
What her partner told us
My wife turns 40. She was a 90s kid: glitter gel pens, mixtapes, S Club at the school disco, and she's still got the moves when the kitchen radio obliges. Two kids, one big promotion, zero patience for nonsense. She keeps saying 40 is 'just a number'. Fine. The song will prove it's her number.
The sort of thing a spouse might send us
Read the lyrics: Forty and FabulousPop · Female vocals · 40th birthday
Verse 1
Glitter gel pen letters, S Club on the tapeLisa in the mirror, practising the shapeOf every move she'd pull out at the school discoForty years later, girl, you'd never know
Verse 2
Two kids at the table, a promotion on the wallNo time for the nonsense, no patience for it allBut the kitchen radio still knows how to call youAnd you're gone, you're seventeen again
Chorus
You say it's just a number, LisaJust a number, nothing moreBut this one's got your name on itThis one keeps the scoreEvery mixtape, every memoryAdds up to the woman standing hereSo say it's just a numberBut forty is your year
Verse 3
You made the mixtapes matter, you kept the glitter onTurned into someone steady that the kids can lean uponStill got the moves, still got the fireStill the girl who never seemed to tire
Chorus
You say it's just a number, LisaJust a number, nothing moreBut this one's got your name on itThis one keeps the scoreEvery mixtape, every memoryAdds up to the woman standing hereSo say it's just a numberBut forty is your year
Bridge
Here's to the gel pens and the girl who wrote your nameHere's to the promotion and the woman she becameHere's to the kitchen floor, the radio turned up highHere's to every reason that this number makes you fly
Chorus
You say it's just a number, LisaJust a number, nothing moreBut this one's got your name on itThis one keeps the scoreEvery mixtape, every memoryAdds up to the woman standing hereSo say it's just a numberBut forty, forty is your year
Outro
Forty's just a numberBut Lisa, this one's yours
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Lisa's came from glitter pens, mixtapes and a kitchen dance. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
