A love song only they will understand.

If you ask for “a romantic love song” you will get one, and it will sound like every romantic love song. The engine writes from what you give it, so the details carry the feeling: where (the 24-hour diner on 5th), when (the winter you both had no money), what (the blue bike, the ugly lamp you refused to throw out), the promise (the one thing you want the chorus to say).

You do not have to be a writer. Type it the way you would tell a friend: “we met at a bus stop in the rain, she laughed at my umbrella, three years later we still argue about who saw who first”. Octa turns the telling into verses and finds the chorus in it.

Give it one true detail and the song stops sounding like a card.

• Anniversaries — the timeline of the relationship, verse by year, chorus on the promise.
• Long distance — time zones, the calls, the countdown to the next flight; slower tempos land best.
• An apology — name what happened plainly in the first verse; a vague apology song feels like a dodge.
• Proposals — the question goes in the last chorus, and only there. Play it once, in person.
• Valentine’s Day and birthdays — see the birthday song guide for the name-in-the-chorus method.
• Just because — a Tuesday song about the way they hum while cooking is the one that gets kept.

• acoustic love song for my girlfriend Elena, soft male vocal, we met at a bus stop in the rain, she laughed at my broken umbrella, chorus about walking home slow on purpose
• R&B love song for my husband Sam on our 10th anniversary, warm female vocal, the tiny first apartment, the blue bike, ten years of Sunday pancakes
• long-distance love song, indie pop, mixed vocals, six hours apart, 2 a.m. calls, the countdown app on both our phones, hopeful not sad
• apology love song for my boyfriend, piano ballad, female vocal, I missed his big night, no excuses, I am here now
• country love song for my wife Marisol, male vocal, the porch we built, her laugh across the yard, growing old on purpose
• proposal song for Jenna, cinematic pop, male vocal, our first trip to Lisbon, the tram, the last chorus asks her to marry me

Pick the voice that fits the singer in the story, not the listener: a song from you to her can be sung by a male voice, or by your own cloned voice in the Android app, which turns a nice gesture into a slightly absurd, unforgettable one. Style-wise, use the music you actually share — the band from your first road trip, the genre of your wedding playlist. A love song in the wrong genre sounds like it was made for someone else.

Tempo matters more than people expect. Slow songs read as sincere; mid-tempo reads as happy; fast reads as playful. Say it in the prompt: “slow”, “mid-tempo”, “upbeat”.

Paste your lyrics with [Verse] and [Chorus] tags and Octa sings them word for word. Keep lines under ten syllables, let the chorus repeat one promise, and put the strongest image first in each verse. The lyrics guide has the full checklist. You can also write half: give the story in the prompt and paste only the chorus you want kept exactly.
