Turning real stories into unforgettable songs

At Verse Things First, we believe every story deserves a soundtrack. We take your memories, milestones, inside jokes and heartfelt moments, and turn them into original, professionally produced songs.

Whether it’s a birthday roast, wedding gift, memorial tribute or something just because, each song is written from scratch and crafted to capture the heart of your story. No templates. No recycled lyrics. Just music that makes people laugh, cry and hit replay.

We’re a small, family-run business based in Australia, creating meaningful songs for people all over the world. What began as a passion project around our kitchen table has grown into something truly special - helping others celebrate life’s moments in a way that lasts forever.

Some services promise a song in minutes. We don’t.

Every Verse Things First song is carefully written from your story — not pulled from a template or generated instantly. We take up to five days because real storytelling takes time.

We read your submission thoroughly. We shape the emotional arc. We refine the lyrics so they feel natural and personal.

And if something needs clarity, we’ll reach out — because guessing isn’t good enough.

Your story deserves more than a rush job.

A Note from our Founder & Creative Director

Verse Things First was built around one belief: words matter.

I’m a mum, a wife, and someone who understands how quickly moments turn into memories. The stories you share aren’t just “order forms” to me - they’re pieces of real life. They’re love stories, legacies, laughter, grief, pride, and everything in between.

Every lyric is shaped with care. Every draft is considered thoughtfully. And yes... I still feel that quiet nervous anticipation before you hear your song for the first time, because it matters that we get it right. That’s why we don’t rush - your story deserves time, not haste.

This isn’t just music. It’s the moment someone realises how deeply they are loved.

- Megan: Founder & Creative Director
