What to put in a proposal song

01

Your first date

Where it was, what went wrong, what went right.

02

Why them

The thing about them you would tell a stranger.

03

The life you picture

The house, the dog, the road trips, growing old on a porch.

04

Where you will play it

A beach at sunset, a quiet living room, a crowded restaurant.

05

The song you never had

No “our song” yet? This proposal song becomes it. Mention the music you both play in the car and we match the sound.

06

How you want to ask

Let the last line ask for you, or tell us to leave the question for your own words.

Proposal song lines a few sentences can become

Each card shows a short story and the kind of proposal song chorus it builds toward.

You write

“For my girlfriend Priya. Our first date was a thunderstorm at a food truck festival and we ate dumplings under one umbrella. Four years later I want every storm with her.”

It could sing

One umbrella and the dumplings in the rainPriya, would you stand with me through every storm again

You write

“For my boyfriend Jamie. We met on a hiking trail when he gave me the last of his water. Six years, three apartments, one stubborn cat named Pickles.”

It could sing

You gave me your last sip on a mountain in JulyJamie, would you climb the rest of it with me, side by side

You write

“For my partner Elena. We have been long distance for two years, Boston to Lisbon. Every night ends with a call and her saying “boa noite”.”

It could sing

Boston to Lisbon, every night a callElena, boa noite, will you marry me after all

How to use a proposal song

Play it from your phone at the spot where you met, have a friend cue it at dinner, or send the gift link and be standing behind them when the last chorus hits. The gift page plays the proposal song with their name on screen, so it works even without speakers.

Advice that comes up again and again in proposal threads: keep the moment private unless you know they want an audience. A proposal song fits that perfectly. It needs one phone, one quiet place, and the person you love.

Looking for a famous proposal song instead?

If you came for a playlist, these are proposal songs people keep suggesting for the drive to the spot or the moment itself: “Marry You” by Bruno Mars (2010), “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” by The Beach Boys (1966), “This Guy’s in Love with You” by Herb Alpert (1968), “Love Story” by Taylor Swift (2008) and “Paper Rings” by Taylor Swift (2019).

Great songs, and every one of them is about somebody else. A custom proposal song is the only one that says their name and your story before the question. Put a classic on the drive, and save this one for the knee.

Proposal song ideas for the moment

Five ways couples use a proposal song, from quiet to full surprise.

On the walk to the spot

Play it through one pair of earbuds each, and get down on one knee as the last line asks.

The car-ride playlist

Hide it at the end of a road-trip playlist. When their name comes through the speakers, pull over.

With a musician or a speaker

Have a friend or a hired musician start the proposal song as you walk up.

At home, lights low

Dinner, candles, the gift page on the TV, no app needed. No crowd, no pressure, just the two of you.

For the engagement video

Use the MP3 as the soundtrack for the proposal video your friend or photographer films.

A custom proposal song next to the other options

Only one of these says their name and asks the question for you, and you hear it before paying. That is why it is the best proposal song you can bring to the moment.

Proposal song questions

Still deciding? The preview is free, so the fastest answer is hearing it.

01What song should I play for a proposal?+

Play the one song that is about the two of you. A custom proposal song sings their name and your story, then asks the question in the last line. If you want a classic too, “Marry You” by Bruno Mars is a favorite.

02What if we don’t have “our song”?+

Then this becomes it. Plenty of couples panic because they never picked one; a proposal song written about your first date is a better answer than any chart hit.

03Will the song actually ask them to marry me?+

Yes, the proposal sound is written to end on the question. If you want to ask in your own words, write that in the story and we leave the question for you.

04Can they see the song before I propose?+

No. Songs stay private in your account until you unlock and share the gift link yourself.

05Can I propose with music if I can’t sing or play?+

Yes. You do not need to sing a note. The proposal song is sung for you, with their name in it, and all you do is press play and hold the ring. As one reply in a thread about proposing with music put it, that is the story you will both retell for the rest of your lives.

06Should I propose in public or in private?+

Most advice in proposal threads leans private unless you know they want friends around. A proposal song works either way: earbuds on a walk, or a speaker at the party.

07Can I use it in our engagement video?+

Yes. Once unlocked, the song is yours for personal use, including your engagement video and your own social posts.

08Can the proposal song be country or R&B?+

Yes. Pick from twelve sounds, including country, R&B, acoustic and piano ballad, then a voice and a tempo.
