* In ''ThePrincessDiaries'' (the book) Michael writes a song for Mia. Later he performs it to her. When they are alone. In his room. And what happens? He doesn't tell her it was meant for her, and she doesn't understand it.

* In MusicAndLyrics, Alex writes one for Sophie, performed at the ConcertClimax.

* In ''Film/{{Ted}}'', MarkWalbherg is trying to get his girlfriend back his irresponsibility pushed her away. He learns that she is gonna be at a M.I.A concert that night. Turns out his best friend, magical living teddy bear Ted(ItMakesSenseInContext)is a hold friend-with-benefits of M.I.A, and he gets MarkWalbherg on stage to during the concert to sing a song. Unfortunately, not only is he an horrible singer, he picks up the worst JamesBond theme song ever, ''All Time High'' from {Octopussy}

* In ''DanInRealLife'', Dan's brother Mitch tries to do this to his girlfriend, with Dan accompanying on guitar. But he forgets the words and Dan takes over. Considering Dan and Mitch's girlfriend have feelings for each other, it's very awkward.

* ''TenThingsIHateAboutYou''

* Prince Lir writes "That's All I've Got To Say" for Lady Amalthea in ''Film/TheLastUnicorn''.

* A variation in ''TheSimpsonsMovie''; a boy writes a song for Lisa, but since they [[spoiler:were seperated behind the glass dome, he writes the notation on the glass.]]

* Ted's Stepfather's incredibly lewd song for his mother in ''HowIMetYourMother''.

* Parodied, like everything else, by Stewie on ''FamilyGuy'' regarding Joe and Bonnie's replacement child.

This almost never actually goes well. Often the performer ends up being a terrible musician, or sometimes the song goes completely over the head of its intended recipients.

Love songs from musicals don't count unless it's obvious to the other characters that someone is singing.

* This happens in ''ForgettingSarahMarshall'', with the IntercourseWithYou song "Inside of You," complete with, ah, suggestive dance sequence.

* Subverted in ''AnimalHouse''. A man serenades a group of young ladies with his guitar. They seem to be enjoying it, but Bluto is not impressed.

** Homer's country singer protege Lurleen Lumpkin sings him an original song, "[[IntercourseWithYou Bunk with Me Tonight]]," all the while making eyes at him. [[ObliviousToLove Homer being Homer]], of course, it takes her reprising the chorus, with even more blatant eye-making, for him to get what she's on about.
** When Homer and Marge appear on a Wife Swap-type show, Marge's temporary husband falls for her and sings her a ([[StylisticSuck very bad]]) song he wrote for her (which puns on Marge's hair "dye," Princess "Di," and the latter's "dying." Yeah.).

** WeirdAl's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju6_tab5lBk "Homer and Marge."]] Out of the ordinary in that it was Marge who "played" the song for Homer.

--->-- '''Elton John''', "Your Song"

* ''[=~Scott Pilgrim vs. the World~=]'' uses this as well, although the song is somewhat different from the one in the comics. (The lyrics are still mostly "Ramona" over and over again, though.)

** '''Homer:''' What if I sing to you? ''I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones''... Mmmmmm... chicken.

* [[TheSimpsonsDidIt The Simpsons Did It]] over and over again:

* [[TheSimpsonsDidIt TheSimpsonsDidIt]] over and over again:

* TheSimpsonsDidIt over and over again:

That this is your song\\

'''Kelly:''' So... [[CompletelyMissingThePoint where's my gift?]]

* Prince Lir writes "That's All I've Got To Say" for Lady Amalthea in ''TheLastUnicorn''.

* ''NotAnotherTeenMovie'' spoofs this, when Jack thinks about wooing Janey with a song. So he picks... "Janie's Got a Gun" by {{Aerosmith}} and starts singing it out loud, sending everyone in a frenzy, thinking Janey is a school shooter.

->''And you can tell everybody\\

->-Elton John, "Your Song"

-->''And you can tell everybody\\

** When Seymour Skinner was trying to win back Mrs. Krapappel he enlisted the help of Springfield Elementary's glee club, to the tune of "TheLionSleepsTonight."

The name of the trope comes from "Your Song" by Elton John.

* ''MoulinRouge'' - sort of the TropeNamer.

* In ''TheSimpsonsMovie'' Lisa's boy friend wrote a song for her, but while being [[spoiler: behind the glass wall he writes the notation on the glass.]]

** Siblings rather than romance, but there's also Bart's song "Lisa it's your Birthday," written & performed with assistance by Michael Jackson Leon Kompowski.
** '''Homer''': "What if I sing to you? ''I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones''...Mmmmmm chicken.
