Write a birthday song for my five-year-old — leave the name as a fill-in slot

## Role and objective

You are a songwriter creating an original birthday song for a five-year-old child. Produce two separate fields: a concise style field and a complete lyrics field. Keep the child's name as the exact slot “[FILL IN: child's name]” unless a name is supplied. The song must be cheerful, gentle, easy for a young child to follow, and suitable for a birthday celebration. The output is complete when it contains the required style information, clearly tagged lyrics, and no invented personal details. Do not write explanations, production notes, or an alternative version outside the two requested fields.

## Scope and given facts

In scope:
- The subject is a birthday song.
- The intended listener or singer is a five-year-old child.
- The child's name must remain a fill-in slot.
- The song is intended for generation in the specified music engine.
- The style and lyrics must be authored separately.

Out of scope:
- Do not invent the child's name, age beyond the supplied five years, family members, location, hobbies, gifts, appearance, or personal history.
- Do not add a stated birthday date, party theme, cultural tradition, or relationship to the child.
- Do not reproduce an existing melody, lyric, or recognisable song structure beyond ordinary labels such as [Verse] and [Chorus].

Use “[FILL IN: child's name]” wherever the child's name is needed. The person completing the slot should replace it only with the child's intended name before generation. If no name is desired, retain the slot rather than silently deleting it.

## Working rules

Write an original song rather than adapting a known birthday song. Use language that a five-year-old can understand and sing: short sentences, familiar words, positive imagery, and a clearly repeated hook. Avoid frightening, mature, romantic, insulting, competitive, or commercially specific content.

In the style field, state the genre, approximate BPM, key, instrumentation, and vocal description. Because these values were not supplied, mark each as “[FILL IN: genre]”, “[FILL IN: BPM]”, “[FILL IN: key]”, “[FILL IN: instrumentation]”, and “[FILL IN: vocal description]” unless you choose a neutral creative direction. If you choose values, present them as creative settings, not facts about the child.

Keep the vocal delivery appropriate for a young birthday performance. If the requested mood is interpreted as energetic, use brighter rhythm and fuller instrumentation; if it is interpreted as gentle, use a softer tempo and lighter arrangement. Since no mood was specified, choose a broadly joyful, welcoming direction without claiming it is the child's preference.

Do not name a living artist as the target voice. Do not reproduce an existing melody or lyric. For English lyrics, favour singable lines with consistent syllable lengths within each repeated section. Use a simple rhyme pattern only where it supports natural pronunciation; do not force awkward rhymes. Include the name slot in a natural place, especially in the chorus, without filling it.

## Output structure

Return exactly two labelled fields in this order:

**Style:**  
Write one compact paragraph containing:
- Genre: “[FILL IN: genre]” or a clearly marked creative choice.
- BPM: “[FILL IN: BPM]” or a clearly marked creative choice.
- Key: “[FILL IN: key]” or a clearly marked creative choice.
- Instrumentation: “[FILL IN: instrumentation]” or a clearly marked creative choice.
- Vocal description: “[FILL IN: vocal description]” or a clearly marked creative choice.

Keep all genre, instrumentation, and vocal-direction information here, not in the lyrics.

**Lyrics:**  
Write a short, complete birthday song using structure tags. Use this order unless the lyric needs a minor adjustment for singability: [Intro], [Verse 1], [Chorus], [Verse 2], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Final Chorus], [Outro]. Make the chorus the most memorable section and include “[FILL IN: child's name]” in it. Keep the total lyric length suitable for a brief children's song. Do not include chord symbols, stage directions, explanatory commentary, or placeholder values other than the required child's-name slot.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style: make the **Style** field itemized within one compact labelled block, while writing the **Lyrics** field in a narrative, singable form organized by structure tags. Keep the register bright, affectionate, simple, and child-friendly. Avoid clichés that imply specific facts, including “your best year ever,” “all your dreams come true,” or references to a particular gift, party location, family relationship, or personal talent unless supplied.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the deliverable contains exactly separate **Style** and **Lyrics** fields, in that order.
2. Confirm that the subject remains a birthday song for a five-year-old and has not drifted into a general children’s song.
3. Confirm that “[FILL IN: child's name]” remains visible wherever the child’s name is used and has not been replaced arbitrarily.
4. Confirm that genre, BPM, key, instrumentation, and vocal description appear in the Style field rather than being mixed into the lyrics.
5. Confirm that the lyrics use structure tags including [Verse] and [Chorus], with a clearly repeated chorus.
6. Confirm that the language is understandable and singable for a five-year-old, with no mature, frightening, insulting, or romantic material.
7. Confirm that no personal fact was added beyond the supplied birthday occasion and age.
8. Confirm that no existing melody, lyric, living artist, named competitor, or recognisable copyrighted song has been copied or targeted.
9. Confirm that no unrequested date, location, family detail, hobby, gift, appearance, or cultural assumption appears.
10. Confirm that any creative musical settings are clearly settings for the song, not claims about the child’s preferences.
11. Confirm that no explanation, extra version, commentary, or production instruction appears outside the two required fields.
12. Confirm that the final output remains within the requested short-song scope and is ready to paste into the specified engine.
