How much does a personalised song cost in the UK?
A personalised song costs £19.99 at Little Anthem, paid once, and you hear the first verse and chorus free first. It's made with AI (Claude writes the lyrics, Google's Lyria makes the music and vocals), so the preview typically takes a minute or two. Songfinch, where professional musicians write each song, listed prices from US$179 in October 2026.

Happy Birthday, Kev. Lyrics: Back in twenty nineteen, the barbecue flared, Off went your eyebrows, but you never cared. Now we stand well back when the coals get lit, You just laugh it off, and you take the hit. Happy birthday, Kev, raise your glass tonight, Last one dancing in the disco light, Rovers in your heart and a grin so wide, Hey, hey, Kev, we're all here on your side!
The chorus
Happy birthday, Kev, raise your glass tonight,
Last one dancing in the disco light,
Rovers in your heart and a grin so wide,
Hey, hey, Kev, we're all here on your side!

Is Little Anthem a Songfinch alternative?
For a fast song in the UK, yes: you pay in pounds, hear it free first and typically have a preview in a minute or two. If you want a song written and recorded by a professional musician, Songfinch and Bespoke Songs offer that, and it takes longer: Songfinch's standard delivery was 7 days in October 2026. Some song sites charge less than we do; MelodyBolt started from £9.99. Compare the price, how much you hear before paying, and what you may do with the song.
Questions
Can AI write a song with someone's name in it?
Yes. Little Anthem's songs are written by AI around one name, which is sung in every chorus. An AI listening check confirms the name is sung in the chorus before you hear it.
Can I get a personalised song today?
Usually, yes. Our preview is typically ready in a minute or two, and the full song is supplied straight away once you pay. Times vary and aren't guaranteed, and at busy times we may pause new free previews, so leave a little slack.
Is there a subscription?
No. It is £19.99 once to keep the song. Hearing the preview is free.
Why would a human-made song cost more?
A professional musician writes and records it for you. That takes longer and costs more: in October 2026 Songfinch listed prices from $179 and 7-day standard delivery. It is a different thing from a song made with AI, and some people prefer it.
What if the AI gets the name wrong?
You hear the name in the free preview first. If a song you've bought has the wrong name or faulty audio, we make a corrected version, or refund you if we can't.
