What Is a Lyric Draft?
A lyric draft is a first look at your song’s words, shared with you before your artist records the final version. Think of it like a creative checkpoint: your artist has written lyrics based on your request, and now you have a short window to make sure key details feel right.
Why we share it:
-
To give you a voice in the process before your song is recorded
-
To make sure names, events, and emotional tone all land the way you want
-
To reduce the need for major edits after delivery
What to expect:
-
You’ll see your draft right on your Song Page
-
You’ll have 24 hours to suggest changes using the “Provide Feedback” button
-
Your artist will review your notes and update the lyrics before recording
This isn’t your final song. The lyrics may change slightly as your artist shapes them into a version that flows naturally and sings beautifully. The next time you see them, they’ll be part of your fully recorded, finished track.
Heads up: Not all orders include a lyric draft. If your song is a rush order or very close to the delivery date, your artist may need to move straight into recording to stay on track.
