What to Include in a Valentine’s Day Song | Verse Things First

Ordering a custom Valentine’s Day song is a deeply personal gift — and one of the most common questions we’re asked is “What should I include when telling you about my partner?”

The short answer: there’s no such thing as too much detail. But if you’re not sure where to start, here’s a simple guide to help you share the moments that matter most.

Start With How You Met

Your beginning sets the emotional foundation of the song.
Tell us how you first met, what stood out, or when you realised this person was different. It doesn’t need to be dramatic — quiet, ordinary beginnings often make the most meaningful songs.

Share the Small, Everyday Things

Some of the most powerful lyrics come from everyday life:

Morning routines

• Inside jokes
• Shared habits
• The way they show love when no one’s watching

These details help us capture who they really are, not just your milestones.

Tell Us What You Love Most About Them

Think beyond surface traits.
Do they keep you grounded? Make you laugh when things are hard? Show up consistently? Love you in ways that feel safe and steady?

These emotional qualities give the song depth and authenticity.

Include Meaningful Moments

Big moments matter too:

• Trips
• Achievements
• Challenges you’ve overcome together
• Changes you’ve navigated as a couple

You don’t need to list everything — just the moments that shaped your relationship.

Don’t Worry About Being “Good With Words”

You don’t need perfect sentences. Bullet points, rambling thoughts, or half-formed ideas are all welcome. Our job is to turn your words into something polished and musical — not to judge how you write.

When in Doubt, Tell Us More

If you’re unsure whether something is relevant, include it anyway. The more context we have, the more personal and accurate your Valentine’s Day song will feel.

And if anything important feels missing, we’ll always ask.

Final Thought

A great Valentine’s song isn’t about saying the “right” things — it’s about saying your things. The moments that make your relationship uniquely yours are exactly what we’re listening for.
