A gift for a child
A cheerful song with their name, their pet and what they asked Santa for, to play while presents are opened.
Custom Christmas song
A Christmas song written for one person, with their name in the chorus
Store bought gifts are forgotten by January. A song with someone's name in it, and the small things only your family knows, gets played again every December. Chitrio writes one from a line such as "Christmas song for my daughter Emma, she is six, loves snow and our dog Biscuit". The words come back free in warm, simple English with the name in the hook at least three times, and you can change any line. Press Sing it and a new recording with a cozy holiday sound, sleigh bells, piano and soft strings, is ready in a minute or two. Download the MP3 or turn it into a lyric video where every word appears as it is sung, ready to send on Christmas morning.

Straight answer: The song is new, so it will not use the lines or melody of a classic carol. That is deliberate: it keeps the song yours, and it means you can share it without worrying about someone else's music.
How it works

Tell us who it is for
Their name, how you are related, and two or three details: a pet, a favourite thing, a joke, the town you spend Christmas in. Pick Christmas as the kind, or simply mention Christmas in the line.

Read and personalise the words
The lyrics come back as verse and chorus, in English unless you ask for another language. Writing them is free, so add a detail, fix a name or ask for new words until it sounds like your family.

Questions, answered
Can it be a version of a famous carol?
No. Every song is original: new words and a new recording. Lines from well-known carols and Christmas hits are left out on purpose, and requests to copy a song or sound like a real singer are refused.
How often does the name appear?
The name is in the chorus and appears at least three times. It is spelled exactly the way you type it, so listen once and adjust the spelling if an unusual name needs it.
How long is the song?
Under a minute is typical, about the length of a greeting. That keeps it easy to send as a message and short enough to play more than once.
Can I add a video?
Yes. One button turns the song into a lyric video where every word appears on screen as it is sung, which is the easiest way to send it as a gift.
What does it cost?
Writing the words is free and you can rewrite them as often as you like. The price of the song is shown before you press Sing it, new accounts get their first songs free, and nothing is charged if the singing fails.
