A song can be more than just an audio track—it can be a deeply personal letter written in melody. Instead of sending a plain audio file or a fleeting text message, MakeBestMusic's new To other gifting feature lets you wrap any song you create into a personalized song gift. You can add a heartfelt note and sender details, set custom access controls and link expiration times, pick an animated musical envelope, and generate a dedicated gift link to share with someone special.
Whether you are celebrating a birthday, marking an anniversary, or sharing a treasured memory with a friend across the world, here is how to craft and send your custom musical letter from start to finish.
1. Find the Song You Want to Gift
Log in to your MakeBestMusic creation workspace. You’ll find a clean, split-screen interface: the left side houses the music creation panel, while the right side displays your Workspaces management panel. All your created tracks are stored here, making it easy to audition, remix, manage, or share your songs whenever inspiration strikes.
To gift a track, simply locate it under Workspaces, click its edit icon, and select the To other option.
2. Write What You Want to Say
In the Gift To Other panel, follow the on-screen prompts to customize your music gift and learn how to send a personalized music letter that captures your exact sentiment:
- What would you like to say?: Write the message you want to share with your recipient—whether it is the story behind why you created the song, a favorite shared memory, or a warm holiday wish. If you need a spark of inspiration, click the random prompt button in the bottom-right corner of the text box for instant message suggestions.
- Sent By: Enter your sender email address (for example,
example@gmail.com) so the recipient knows right away who sent this thoughtful surprise. - Access Code or Free Code: Choose how your musical letter is unlocked. Select Free Code for instant one-click opening, or set a custom Access Code (1 to 10 letters and numbers) so the recipient enters a secret passcode—like a meaningful date or nickname—to unlock the card.
- Gift Link Expiration: Set how long the gift link remains active, from a specific number of days to never expiring.
3. Pick an Animated Envelope for Your Musical Letter
To make unboxing your AI song gift truly memorable, MakeBestMusic offers nine distinct animated envelope designs. You can choose the visual theme that best matches your track's instrumentation and emotional tone:
- Vintage Vinyl & Decks: record and turntable—ideal for nostalgic pop, Lo-Fi beats, and indie tracks.
- Keys & Acoustic Reeds: piano and accordion—suited for heartfelt ballads, singer-songwriter pieces, and warm folk melodies.
- Strings, Brass & Percussion: saxophone, drums, violin, drumkit, and harp—crafted for smooth jazz, energetic rhythms, cinematic strings, and ethereal soundscapes.
- Choose from nine musical envelope themes—including record, turntable, piano, accordion, saxophone, drums, violin, drumkit, and harp—and click Create Gift.
After selecting your envelope design, click Create Gift to seal your musical letter. Then click Copy Gift Link to copy the dedicated URL and send it to your friend via text, social DM, or email. That is all it takes when discovering how to share a song as a gift.
Copy your generated gift link with one click and share it directly with your recipient.
4. How Recipients Open and Save Your Musical Letter
When your friend opens the shared link, they are guided through an interactive unwrapping experience right in their browser:
Step 1: Accept and Unlock the Musical Gift
Upon opening the link, the recipient clicks Accept Gift to receive the musical letter.
Recipients click Accept Gift to begin the unwrapping experience.
An animated effect plays across the screen and automatically opens the letter once the animation finishes.
The chosen envelope animation plays before revealing the song and personal message inside.
If you protected the letter with an access code, the recipient simply enters the password and clicks Unlock to open it.
When an access code is enabled, recipients enter the password and click Unlock.
Step 2: Listen to the Song and Read the Message
Once opened, the musical letter displays the audio player alongside the full lyrics, the sender's identity, and your written blessing so they can read your words while listening to the melody.
Recipients can stream the song, follow the lyrics, and read your personal note all in one view.
Step 3: Save to Library, Edit, and Revisit the Memory Anytime
After listening, the recipient can click Add My Library to save the track permanently into their own music folder. Once the screen displays Save success, the song is safely stored in their personal workspace—even if the original gift link later expires.
Clicking Add My Library saves the gift track permanently to the recipient's personal folder.
A saved gift track works just like any song created on the platform: recipients can stream it online anytime, open it for secondary editing and creative remixing, or download the audio file (note: while free accounts support online generation and auditioning with no credit card required, downloading lossless MP3/WAV exports requires an active paid subscription).
Saved gift tracks can be played, managed, and further edited right inside the recipient's music library.
Every gifted track in the library is marked with a special gift bag badge. Clicking that gift bag icon at any time reopens the keepsake card—allowing the recipient to revisit the exact date they received the personalized song gift, who sent it, and the heartfelt message written just for them.
Click the gift bag icon on any received track in your library to revisit the sender's original note and date.

Pick a track from your creations, write the words you have been meaning to say, choose an animated envelope, and share your gift link.
