The playbook

How to write a birthday roast that lands.

A generic funny birthday song has someone else's jokes in it. A birthday roast song has theirs. The difference is receipts: the nickname only the group chat uses, the hill they always die on, the thing they did at the wedding that nobody's allowed to mention. Feed those in and the track stops being a novelty and starts being evidence.

The rule that makes a birthday roast work: go at what they do, not what they are. Their punctuality, their parking, their five-year plan that's been five years for a decade. That's the stuff people laugh at about themselves. You're roasting the legend, not the person, and the birthday is the one day a year they're contractually obliged to take it.

Timing matters less than you'd think. A personalized birthday song takes minutes to make, so it works as the last-minute save at 11pm the night before, or as the centerpiece you premiere when the cake comes out. Either way it outlives the party: the share page keeps the cover art, the audio and the karaoke lyrics rolling together, so the roast gets replayed every year like a bad tradition.

  1. 01

    What makes this better than a generic funny birthday song?

    Generic songs rhyme 'birthday' with 'great day'. This one rhymes with their name, their age and the story from the stag do. Every line is generated from what you tell Shade, your ghostwriter, and you can rework any verse until it sounds like it was written by someone who knows them. Because it was.

  2. 02

    How fast can I get the track?

    Minutes. Type the name, feed in the dirt, and a full 2 to 3 minute song comes back with cover art and a share page. It's the strongest last-minute birthday gift on the internet.

  3. 03

    Can I play it at the party?

    That's the point. You get the full MP3 download to blast on any speaker, plus a share page with synced karaoke lyrics so the whole room can join in on the chorus.

  4. 04

    What does a birthday roast song cost?

    From $2.99, no subscription. You keep the song forever, so the cost per replay hits zero somewhere around their next birthday.
