At Folifola we offer songs for all kinds of special occasions.

Making them an original, personalized and very touching gift.

Why are the custom made songs so much more expensive than the other songs found on the website ?
The difference between the price of this product and the songs that you find on the website is due to hte fact that for such a product we need to rewrite the lyrics, re-record the whole melody and many of the back vocals. This product is also completely exclusive. Therefore it is impossible for us to offer this product in the same range of prices than the other songs that you can find on the website, that are only personalized with the first name of the recipient .
I'm really at the last minute but still would love to send a song today but none of them is available immediately... what can I do ? Is there a last minute/emergency service ?
You can contact us by phone or email and we will do our best to accomodate you and record and send the song on the same day! Just click on the "contact us" link you will find on top of every page on the right.
When is the song going to be sent ?
When you order the song, you will be able to choose the time and the date ! As long as the song is available for the desired date you tell us where and when and we'll do the rest !
Will I be able to hear or download the song?
The moment the song you have chose is sent to the recipient you will receive a confirmation email with a link to listen to the song. However only the recipient has the possibility to download the song.
Why should I create an account and do I have to ?
The first time you order a song at Folifola, you will be invited to create an account. This will allow you to have your own personnal space where you will be able to keep track of the delivery of your greeting songs and make you future transactions much faster. Folifola will not use or diffuse your personnal information against your will.
Why can’t I hear the finish product of a song that will be available in 48 hours ?
At Folifola the names are recorded live by singers and not generated by a computer. When a song with a given name is not available it means it has not been recorded yet. However you will be able to hear the finished product upon the reception of the confirmation email once we send the song.
