Custom songs for film and TV, made to the vibe you describe
When the song you hear in your head does not exist yet, Songs for the One can make it. Tell Muse what happens in the scene, how it should feel, what artists are close and what is wrong with them, and she writes and records an original song to match. You hear a free preview first. Songs are ready for demos, pitches and temp tracks; release in a finished film or show needs a commercial license.
When filmmakers use it
- You have searched every library and nothing fits the scene
- A temp track for an edit before you license final music
- A mood reference to show your composer or music supervisor
- A pitch reel or proof of concept with the feel you want
How to describe the sound to Muse
- What is on screen, second by second
- The emotion the audience should leave with
- Two or three reference artists or songs, and what to keep or change
- Tempo, build and where the drop or swell lands
- Vocals or not, and words to use or avoid
How you can use it
- Private demos, rough cuts and temp tracks
- Mood references for your team, composer or music supervisor
- Pitch materials shared privately with collaborators or buyers
Using the song in a film, show, trailer or video that is released, broadcast, streamed or entered in festivals needs a commercial license. Email steve@songsfortheone.com with the project details; we decide these case by case. Ask about a commercial license.

Questions
Can you match a song I describe but cannot find?
Muse asks about the mood, tempo, instruments and reference artists, then makes an original song in that direction. It will not copy an existing song.
Can it be instrumental?
Tell Muse you want little or no singing and she will note it. The service is built around songs, so some vocals may remain.
Can I use it in my released film?
Not under the standard license. Email steve@songsfortheone.com to ask about a commercial license for release.
