HEAR A SAMPLE
Your year,
set to music.
Each of these Christmas card songs was written from the kinds of stories families share every year. Pick a style you like, or tell us the one you want.
Soulful folk-pop
The Parkers
A flu that took down the whole house, a carsick drive to Grandma’s, and a first grader with two missing teeth.
Country-pop storytelling
Claire and Ben
A first Christmas as newlyweds: a tree too big for the walk-up, a cat named Pickles, and a honeymoon that rained all week.
Pop-punk rock
The Novaks
A birthday drum kit the neighbors regret, Mom’s first marathon, and a 200,000-mile van that broke down on the way to Yellowstone.
Classic country
Ron and Diane
Retirement, a crooked birdhouse, a new knee, and the first grandbaby after forty years together.
Motown soul
The Delgados
A six-week kitchen remodel that took nine months, a new driver versus the mailbox, and Grandma on the dance floor.
Old-school hip-hop
The Brooks Family
A shoe-eating puppy, a winless soccer season, and Grandpa’s new 6 a.m. FaceTime habit.
Cumbia, en español
Los Ramírez
Una casa pintada de rosa por accidente, doscientos tamales y los 75 años de la abuela.
K-pop
The Kim Family
Halmeoni moves in with her kimchi fridge, a first college dorm, and Dad’s dance-move injury.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER
Before we hit play.
What is TryRefrain?
TryRefrain creates personal, AI-assisted songs from your stories. Songs start at $49 and include a song up to 3 minutes 30 seconds long, a QR code linking to it, a song download, and one revision. It is a brand of GTM Advisory Solutions LLC.
How does the QR code work?
Right after you pay, we email you a QR code that opens your song’s own page. Add it to a card, gift, or event program and print it the same day. Until your song is finished, the page says it’s on the way; the same code plays your song once it’s done, and the page stays online for at least 12 months after delivery. The included code has a small TryRefrain logo in the middle. For $10 more, a card-ready QR code comes without the logo, designed for your card, with your photo on the page.
How much does a custom song cost?
A Standard song is $49 USD and is ready in one week. A Rush song is $69 USD and is ready in 48 hours. Both include a song up to 3 minutes 30 seconds long, a QR code, a song download, and one revision. Longer songs and photo videos are custom orders, quoted separately.
How long does it take?
Standard songs are ready in one week and Rush songs in 48 hours, counted from your payment. If we need more details about your story, we’ll email you, and timing starts once we have them. Include your preferred delivery date in your story.
Do I need lyrics or photos?
No. Tell us about your memories or occasion in your own words, and we’ll use AI-assisted music creation to turn those details into a personal song. Photos are only needed for a custom photo video, which is quoted separately.
Is a photo video included?
A photo video is not included in the Standard or Rush song. Photo videos and longer songs are custom orders. Contact us for pricing. Ask about a custom order.
What happens after I send my story?
Choose Standard or Rush and you’ll pay securely through Stripe right after sending your story. Your song starts right away, and if we can’t take your order, we refund you in full. Choose Custom or “Not sure yet” and we’ll email you to talk it through before you pay anything.
What occasions can I make a song for?
We make songs for anniversary gifts, birthdays, retirements, family vacations, celebrations of life, Christmas cards, graduations, and other moments that matter to you. Choose your occasion in the form.
