The moment it's for
The phone call after she plays it
There's a particular voice mums do when they're pretending they haven't been crying. You're about to hear it.
The first listen
She plays it expecting a nice little tune, and then her own name arrives in the first verse.
The second listen
Immediately, with your dad summoned to the kitchen to hear it properly this time.
The forwarding
Within the hour it's been sent to her sister, her group chat and at least one confused neighbour.
A worked example
Meet Carol, our example mum
Carol isn't real, but everyone knows a Carol. This is the kind of detail people send us about their mums, and what we do with it.
Carol
Mum of three. Feeder, finder of lost things, world-class worrier.
- Feeds you within four minutes of arrival
- Texts in full sentences, signs off 'Mum x'
- Knows where everything is in every house
- Cried at the advert, the trailer and the film
What her son told us
Mum's superpower is that you can't get through her front door without a plate appearing. She texts like she's writing letters, full sentences, always signed 'Mum x', even though her name comes up on the screen. She's found every set of keys this family has ever lost. She cries at adverts and denies it with tears still on her face. We just want her to know we noticed all of it.
The sort of thing a son might send us
Read the lyrics: Signed, Mum xAcoustic & heartfelt · Warm female vocals · For Mum
Verse 1
Four minutes through the door and there's a plate already warm,She's got answers for the questions that you haven't even formed.She knows where your keys are in a house she's never seen,Twenty years of 'have you eaten?', quietly keeping us clean.
Chorus
Full sentences in every text, signed off with 'Mum x',The one who holds the whole thing up and never once expects.So here's a song to say the thing we never say enough:You're the reason all of us know anything of love.
Verse 2
She cried at the advert, then the trailer, then the show,Blamed hay fever in December, with the windows full of snow.She'd give away her last of anything and swear it was no cost,And nothing in this family has ever once been lost.
Carol's song came from a warm plate and a signed-off text. Your mum's will come from her own particular magic. You just have to tell us what it is.

What to put in a song for your mum
You already know all of this. You've just never written it down before.
The saying
The phrase you heard ten thousand times growing up and now catch yourself using. Straight into the chorus.
The superpower
Finding things, feeding people, knowing something's wrong from one syllable on the phone. Name her power.
The sacrifice she never mentions
The lifts at midnight, the years she went without, the job she juggled. She thinks nobody noticed. Prove otherwise.
The thing that makes her laugh
A song for Mum shouldn't only make her cry. Give us the story she still can't tell without wheezing.
Simpler than getting her to sit down at Christmas

Before you ask
Questions, answered
Occasions, styles and the practical bits.
What occasions work for a Mum song?
All of them. Birthdays and Mother's Day are the classics, but some of the best songs we write are for no occasion at all: just a thank-you that's overdue. The song is about her, not the date.
What should I include about her?
Her sayings, her habits, her superpower, one story that's pure her. A couple of sentences is genuinely enough: it's the specifics that make her gasp, not the volume.
Can it be from all of us kids?
Yes, and mums love that. Collect a detail or two from each of you and paste them into the order form together. We'll write it as one song from the lot of you.
What style should I pick for her?
Acoustic and piano ballads are the classic Mum choices: warm, clear words, room to feel. If your mum is more of a Motown-in-the-kitchen character, upbeat pop will make her dance instead of cry. Or both, if we're honest.
Do I approve the lyrics before she hears it?
Yes. You read and approve every line before we produce the song, and one revision is included free. It only becomes music once it sounds exactly like her.
