Sweetest Day falls on the third Saturday of October, which this year is Saturday, October 17. It began in Cleveland in the early 1920s and is still a big date in Ohio, Michigan and across the Midwest: a day for a small, sweet gesture for the person you love.
Below are songs to send him or her, split by mood, each a real recording with a line on when to play it. If you would rather give a song that is only about the two of you, that takes a few minutes too.
Or give them a song that is only about them
Where you met, the thing they always say, the moment you knew. Tell us a few details and we turn your story into lyrics and a finished song with their name in it, ready in minutes. You hear a preview before you decide.

How to choose
Keep it sweet, not grand
Sweetest Day is a small-gesture day: a note, a favourite treat, a song. Something that shows you paid attention beats something that cost a lot.
Send it in the morning
A song sent first thing on Saturday sets the tone for the day. Add one line about why it made you think of them.
Make it about the two of you
The song that was playing when you met, or a song with their name in it, will mean more than the most popular love song.
