Bedtime songs
A lullaby with your baby's name, made for bedtime
Describe the room, the routine and the name you whisper at night, and get back a quiet, slow song for the last minutes before sleep.
Babies often settle to sounds they know. A personalized lullaby can carry the same name, the same few words and the same calm melody every night, so it becomes part of the routine. It is yours alone, built from the small details of your own bedtime.
What makes a good lullaby
Slow and soft beats clever. A lullaby works when nothing in it surprises the ear: a gentle tempo, a narrow melody and a quiet voice. Indie with a peaceful mood usually brings soft guitar or piano and a hushed vocal. Ask for no drums, or only a light brush, and say you want it calm from the first second to the last. A dreamy mood also fits if you want a floating, airy sound.
Repetition is the point. Give the song one short line that comes back again and again, with the baby's name in it, such as goodnight, little Ollie. Add two or three details from your evenings: the night light, the stuffed bear, the rocking chair, the sound of rain on the window. Leave out busy stories, jokes and long lists. A name that is easy to misread works best written the way it sounds, such as Eoin (OH-in).
Think about how you will use it. Some parents play the sung version during the bath and story, then switch to an instrumental for the final minutes, since words can keep a curious baby listening. You can make both. The song is sung by an AI vocalist, not in your own voice, so it is a gentle companion to your singing, not a replacement for it.
Example prompt
“A soft, slow, peaceful indie lullaby for baby Ollie, with a quiet female vocal, fingerpicked guitar and no drums. Repeat the line goodnight, little Ollie, and mention his night light and his blue rabbit.”

Example lyrics
The lamp is low, the window's blue Little Ollie, the day is through Your rabbit's near, your blanket's tight The hallway hums its soft goodnight Slow now, slow now, drift away The stars will wait for one more day Goodnight, little Ollie, I'm right here Goodnight, little Ollie, sleep, my dear
How to make it
- Open Create and describe a quiet lullaby: the baby's name, one repeating line and a few bedtime details, like the night light or a favorite toy.
- Pick indie or another soft genre with a peaceful mood. Choose a female, male or auto vocal, or switch to instrumental for a version without words.
- Play both versions at bedtime volume once the song is created, and keep the one that stays calm all the way through, without a loud chorus.
- If you want a sung and an instrumental version, make them separately, so you have one for the routine and one for the last minutes.
- Play it from the link on your phone or a speaker in the nursery. With Pro or Studio you can download the file to play it offline.
Tips for a better song
- Ask for no drums and no big build. A lullaby that grows louder in the middle can wake a baby who was just drifting off.
- Choose one name and use it the same way every time, whether that is the first name or the nickname you say at night.
- Keep the speaker across the room and the volume low. A quiet song from a distance soothes better than one beside the crib.
- Use the same song at the same point in the routine each night, so it becomes a signal that sleep comes next.
- Make a second lullaby for naps with a slightly brighter feel, so daytime and nighttime each have their own song.

Questions
Yes. Put the name in your description, or write it into your own lyrics, and ask for it in a repeating line. Unusual names come out best when you spell them the way they sound.
No. SongAI does not clone voices, so an AI vocalist sings it in a female, male or auto voice. You can still hum along, which keeps your own voice part of bedtime.
Yes. Switch to instrumental when you create the song. An instrumental version will not sing the baby's name, so some parents make one sung version and one instrumental version.
Yes, if it is among the 25 vocal languages. Pick it, for example the one a grandparent speaks, and write your description or lyrics in that language too for the most natural result.
Most run between two and four minutes. If your baby needs longer to settle, play it again, or keep a second calm song ready to follow it.
