Use the actual person, message, scene, or detail that makes this song specific. Decide the secret phrase, recipient, and reveal style first so the song works on the surface and rewards a second listen.
Secret inputs
Choose the hiding method -name, date, chorus, or double meaning
Add style notes only when they help the song land closer to the moment. Add the phrase, whether it should be obvious or subtle, what must stay private, and how the lyrics should reveal the clue.
