Create a Custom Song for Your Proposal

Create the perfect moment to ask the most important question of your life.

You’ve found the ring. You’ve picked the location. Now you need the perfect soundtrack - a song that tells your story, builds the emotion, and sets the scene for a proposal they’ll never forget.

Why a Custom Song Makes Proposals Unforgettable

Every proposal story gets retold dozens of times. When yours includes “and then OUR SONG started playing - a song with my name in it, about how we met” - that’s a story worth telling forever.

A proposal song transforms a beautiful moment into a legendary one.

How to Use Your Proposal Song

The Background Build: Play it softly during dinner, letting them notice familiar details before you reach for the ring.

The Surprise Start: Queue it up and let it begin just as you get down on one knee.

The Big Reveal: Hand them headphones and say “I made something for you” - then propose as the song plays.

The Flash Mob: Coordinate with friends to create an unforgettable public proposal moment.

What to Include in Your Proposal Song

• How and where you met
• Your first impressions of each other
• Favorite memories from your relationship
• What made you realize they were “the one”
• Your vision for your future together
• Optional: hints about forever, commitment, or “will you…”

Planning the Perfect Proposal

The song is ready in 5 minutes, but the memory lasts forever. Whether you’re planning a grand gesture or an intimate moment, a custom song adds the emotional depth that makes proposals truly special.

Pro tip: Test the audio setup at your location beforehand. You want perfect sound for this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Why a Custom Song Makes the Perfect Proposal

A proposal is the most important question you’ll ever ask. While the ring symbolizes commitment, a song captures the emotion of the moment. Imagine getting down on one knee as a song plays that tells your entire love story, with their name in every chorus.

It’s not just a proposal. It’s a cinematic moment they’ll replay in their mind forever. Videos of musical proposals are also the most shared and rewatched by friends and family.

• A subtle hint building up to the big question
• Their laugh, their eyes, the little things that made you fall
• Your dreams for the future: the house, the family, growing old together

Sample Proposal Song Lyrics

Verse:

I knew it from that very first night,
The way you laughed beneath the city light.
Through every storm we found our way,
And now there’s something I need to say.

Chorus:

[Your name], you’re every dream I’ve ever known,
With you I’ve finally found my home.
So here I am, down on one knee,
[Your name], will you marry me?
