What to Write in a Custom Song Request

By CherishSong Editorial Team1 min read

You do not need to sound poetic. You need details the recipient would instantly recognize.

Quick Answer

The best custom song requests are specific, not polished. Focus on names, memories, moments, personality, and the emotional ending you want the song to leave behind.

If you can answer a few honest questions, you can write a strong custom song request.

The easiest structure

Include:

  • who the song is for
  • what the relationship means
  • three specific memories
  • what you admire most
  • the tone you want

Details that help most

The strongest details are usually:

  • private jokes
  • little habits
  • repeated family stories
  • phrases the person says all the time
  • specific scenes you can picture clearly

Details that matter less

You do not need to write perfect prose. You do not need to rhyme. You do not need to summarize someone’s whole life.

One vivid memory is more useful than ten generic compliments.

If you feel stuck

Start with this sentence:

“Whenever I think of them, I always picture…”

That usually unlocks the right details fast.
