Produce My Uplifting Pop Ballad

Job ID: 40329131

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I already have a rough demo with chords and lyrics recorded to a click; what I’m missing is the polished, radio-ready production that will bring the song to life. I’m going for an uplifting early 2010s pop sound (similar to “One Last Time” by Ariana Grande / “Almost Home” by Mariah Carey), with emotional build-up and a strong chorus.

Here’s what I need from you: full instrumental production built around drums, synths and bass, with any extra ear-candy or atmospheric layers you feel the track calls for. The rhythm should stay on the simpler, steady side so the vocal can shine, but still rise dynamically into a powerful chorus. I’m happy to share my demo and reference tracks as soon as we get started.

If you can also polish the mix and apply a light master—or at least walk me through the basics so I can finish it on my end—that would be ideal. I’m working on a student budget, so the more you can fold into one affordable package, the better.

Deliverables I’m aiming for:
• Fully produced instrumental
• Vocal-ready project file or consolidated stems
• Basic mix / gentle master for streaming reference

Turnaround of about two weeks would be perfect, but let me know what’s realistic for you. Excited to hear your ideas and collaborate on a track that feels uplifting, contemporary and authentically pop.
