A song to welcome a new baby

The baby's name, the day they arrived and the little details everyone is already retelling — turned into a welcome song the family will keep for years.

Make this song

Your first song is free — no card needed.

A new baby gets a mountain of onesies, blankets and stuffed rabbits, and almost all of it is outgrown by spring. A song with their name in it is the one present that grows up with them: it plays at the first birthday, in the video at their graduation, and one day for their own children.

It also says what tired new parents rarely get to hear: welcome, we see you, this is a big deal. Share the baby's name, when and where they were born, who is waiting to meet them and a detail or two from the first days. AI writes the lyrics around those details, composes the melody and sings it with real vocals in about a minute — ready to send to the parents, play at the first visit or tuck into the baby book.

Hear one we made

Welcome Home, Ava

Acoustic, Kids song · 2:27

“A gentle, joyful song welcoming our daughter Ava, born on a rainy Tuesday morning in Leeds, two weeks early. She's named after her great-grandmother. She has a full head of dark hair, frowns like a little professor and holds on to her dad's finger. Her big brother Leo, 4, has already promised to teach her football. Put “welcome home, Ava” in the chorus.”

What to put in a welcome song

  • 1

    The full name — and why it was chosen. A grandmother's name or a favourite place makes a natural verse.

  • 2

    The arrival story: born at 3 a.m. in a snowstorm, two weeks early, or right on the due date as if they had read the calendar.

  • 3

    First details everyone talks about: the dark hair, the tiny frown, the grip on a finger that will not let go.

  • 4

    Who is waiting for them — a big sister, grandparents across the ocean, a dog guarding the cot.

  • 5

    A wish for their life, kept simple: “may you always know you're home”.

  • 6

    The parents themselves. A line for the mum who did the hard part and the dad (or partner) learning to swaddle is a gift to them too.

  • 7

    Something about the season or the city they were born into: the first snow, the summer of the move, the street outside the window.

A welcome chorus

Hello, little Ava, the world was waiting for you,

ten small fingers and a sky of baby blue,

you came in the morning and the whole house knew —

welcome home, Ava, we've been dreaming of you.

Who gives a welcome song, and when

  • Grandparents. A song from Grandma and Grandpa, with the family names and a promise of future sleepovers, often becomes the one played most.
  • Friends of the parents. Instead of another outfit, send the song link in the first week, when visits are tricky and a message that asks for nothing is welcome.
  • The parents themselves. Many make one as a birth announcement: the song plays under a lyric video of the first photos, shared with family far away.
  • Big brothers and sisters. Put the older child's name in a verse — “and Leo is the best big brother there will ever be” — so the new song belongs to them too.

Gentle, joyful or playful?

For the first weeks, soft acoustic or a children's style suits a house where nobody is getting much sleep. A bright, joyful pop version suits a birth announcement video or a baby shower held after the birth. If the family loves a laugh, a playful song about who the baby looks like (everyone has an opinion) works well — keep the final chorus tender. Avoid details the parents may not want shared yet, such as a difficult birth or medical worries; keep the song about the welcome.

Questions

Can the song use the baby's full name and birth date?

Yes. Write the name exactly as it is spelled, add the date, time or weight if you like, and they go into the lyrics. Nicknames and the names of siblings or grandparents can be included too.

Is this a lullaby?

It can be soft, but a welcome song is about the arrival — who the baby is and who loves them. If you want a song to sing them to sleep every night, make a personalized lullaby as well; the two make a lovely pair.

Can I send it to the parents as a gift?

Yes. Send it as a gift page they unwrap on their phone, or share a link that plays in any browser without an app. You can also download the MP3.

Can we turn it into a keepsake for the nursery?

With a subscription, yes: print a poster or card with a QR code that plays the song, to frame above the cot or slip into the baby book.

What does it cost?

The first song on a new account is free and needs no card. Further songs use credits, from a subscription or a one-off pack.
