About Only Happy Tears
Only Happy Tears makes custom songs written from the story of the person you love, as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or just because. It is free to start, you hear your song before you pay, and it is delivered in hours.
Why we started
Music has carried all of us through the hard days and the happy ones. I started Only Happy Tears after writing a song for my family to tell them how grateful I am. Their first reaction was happy tears. Now I want everyone to be able to give that moment to the people they love, at a price anyone can afford and with no subscriptions.
Seb, founder of Only Happy Tears
How it works
- Tell us about them. Answer a few questions: who the song is for, the occasion, what they are like, a few memories and a dedication. Then pick a genre, an era and a voice. It takes about three minutes and it is free to start.
- Hear their song. We write their song from your answers. You hear it before you pay, and you can ask for changes.
- Give it. The song is yours to download and keep forever. Send it as a private gift they open like an envelope, whenever you choose.
What comes with every song
- The song as an MP3, yours to download and keep forever
- 2 bonus versions
- Lyric artwork with a scan-to-play code
- A portrait made of the lyrics
