Sing

Tell me if these sentences mean the same thing. Thank you.

I'm going to sing to you. And I'm going to sing for you. And I'm going to sing a song to you. And I'm going to sing a song for you.

There isn't a huge difference. To me, "sing for " has a slightly stronger sense that you are doing it for the audience's benefit or enjoyment, or at their request.
