F*ck cards.
It's not 2022. It's not 1998. It's definitely not 1962.
So why are we still posting folded paper with a stranger's poem inside?
Your nan does not need another card with a cat on it. She needs to see her whole family, animated like a film, belting out a song about the time she reversed into the vicar.
Cards get read once. Singers get played on repeat, sent to the group chat and screened at the party. Cards say "Happy birthday." Singers say the thing you never manage to say out loud.
Tell us about them. Upload a few photos. Pick the vibe. We write the song, cast your loved ones and make them sing.
A song with their name on it.
Where it started
Born in a real family.
Unwrap a Song started with a family anniversary. Instead of a card, the grandparents got a short animated film of their whole family singing an original song about fifty years together. Then came a jive song for a great aunt. Phones came out. People cried. Everyone asked for the link.
We realised the card was never the point. The point is the moment someone feels seen. So we built a way for anyone to make that moment, for any occasion, in a few minutes.
What we make
Unwrap a Song makes personalised animated song videos. Tell us about someone, upload photos of the people who love them, pick the vibe, and we write an original song and turn your family into film style characters who sing it. For birthdays, roasts, anniversaries, weddings and every big moment, and gentle tributes when you need to say goodbye.
How we make it
Every song is original and written from the story you give us. We produce the songs and animation with professional creative software, and a real person checks every single video before it goes out. If something isn't right, we fix it.
And when it's not a party
Some of the most important songs we make are for goodbyes. Our Tribute Singers are gentle, never jokey, and made with care for funerals, memorials and the hard anniversaries.
