The song list

Baby announcement songs, by how you share the news

Thirty songs for baby announcement videos, the private surprise, the grandparents and the gender reveal, through to birth announcement songs for the day they arrive.

  1. A young couple on a sunlit living-room rug filming their announcement with a phone on a small tripod, she holds up a tiny pair of white baby shoes (AI photo, fictional people)
    Bright and upbeat

    The announcement video

    Best for Reels, TikTok and the family group chat

    Pick a song with a strong first beat and put the reveal on its first big chorus. Most clips use ten to twenty seconds of a song, not the whole thing.

    • Walking on SunshineKatrina and the Waves
    • Lovely DayBill Withers
    • Best Day of My LifeAmerican Authors
    • HappyPharrell Williams
    • Good LifeOneRepublic
  2. A small kraft gift box open on a kitchen counter in morning light, tiny knitted baby booties inside and two mugs of coffee beside it (AI photo)
    Tender

    Telling your partner

    Best for A quiet morning, just the two of you

    Hide a speaker, or text the song with a tiny wrapped box beside it. Film their face rather than the box; that is the clip you will keep.

    • Just the Way You AreBruno Mars
    • Brand NewBen Rector
    • Grow as We GoBen Platt
    • Little WondersRob Thomas
    • Life ChangesThomas Rhett
  3. A grandmother-to-be with both hands over her mouth at the dinner table, the grandfather beside her smiling with wet eyes (AI photo, fictional people)
    Warm, a little nostalgic

    Telling the grandparents-to-be

    Best for Sunday dinner, a visit, a video call

    Songs from their own era land fast. Start it quietly as background music and wait; it usually takes a line or two before someone realizes what they are hearing.

    • Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)The Judds
    • Grandma's Feather BedJohn Denver
    • Wouldn't It Be NiceThe Beach Boys
    • Happy TogetherThe Turtles
    • Young at HeartFrank Sinatra
  4. Friends lean in laughing around a small frosted cake in a garden as the first slice is cut, paper confetti in the air (AI photo, fictional people)
    Playful and festive

    The gender reveal

    Best for The cake, the confetti, the countdown

    Line the reveal up with a drop or a drum fill, and rehearse once on the real speaker: a two-second delay is enough to miss the moment.

    • Sweet Child o' MineGuns N' Roses
    • Girls Just Want to Have FunCyndi Lauper
    • CelebrationKool & the Gang
    • The Final CountdownEurope
    • Can't Stop the Feeling!Justin Timberlake
  5. A curly-haired three-year-old big sister on a sunlit bed hugs a tiny pair of knitted baby socks to her cheek (AI photo, fictional people)
    Sweet and a little silly

    Baby number two, or three

    Best for When the big brother or sister gets to tell it

    Let the older child deliver the news: holding the ultrasound, wearing the shirt, pressing play. Shorter songs suit short attention spans.

    • You've Got a Friend in MeRandy Newman
    • Three Is a Magic NumberBob Dorough
    • We Are FamilySister Sledge
    • Our HouseCrosby, Stills, Nash & Young
    • Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-DaThe Beatles
  6. A newborn's tiny hand wrapped around a parent's finger on linen sheets in soft morning light (AI photo, fictional people)
    Gentle and glowing

    Birth announcement songs

    Best for The first photos, once they're here

    Slower and softer than a pregnancy reveal. Pair it with the first photo, the name and the date, and send it to family before the public post.

    • Hello WorldLady A
    • Baby MineBette Midler
    • You Are the Best ThingRay LaMontagne
    • Golden SlumbersThe Beatles
    • Dream a Little Dream of MeThe Mamas & the Papas

Telling them in person

Four ways to play it for the people who'll cry first

Not every announcement belongs on a feed. These use what comes with every song: the MP3, a private gift link with a QR code, and a gift email you can schedule.

  • Hide a QR code in a card

    Print the gift page's QR code inside a card or a little frame. They scan it, the song starts, and the news arrives in their own names.

  • Schedule it for the right minute

    Set the gift email to land while they're sitting at your table, or first thing on a birthday morning, and watch them open it.

  • Play it at dinner and film their faces

    Put the MP3 on a speaker as background music and say nothing. Someone always stops eating halfway through the first chorus.

  • Share the screen with family far away

    On a video call, open the gift page and play it for everyone at once: the same moment for three households in three time zones.

A song about your news

Your nickname for them, your due month, your story

Tell us how you found out, what you call the baby and who the song is for. We write original lyrics around those details and record two full versions, and you hear both before deciding anything.

What parents-to-be often write

The baby
Little Bean, until we pick a name
When
Due in April, the week after Grandpa's birthday
How we found out
A Tuesday at 6 a.m., and Leo cried first
Who it's for
Mom and Dad, who have been asking for years

A couple of details like these is plenty to start with.

Families who shared the news

The moment they heard it

  • A grandmother-to-be laughs and cries with a hand on her chest at a dinner table while the grandfather hugs their adult son (AI photo, fictional people)

    Told his parents at dinner

    We played it as background music over dessert. His mom stopped mid-bite at the line about Grandma Lupe's tamales, and nobody finished the flan.
    Camila R.San Diego, CA
  • A man in a work shirt sits in his pickup truck at a job site with a hand over his mouth, eyes wet, grinning (AI photo, fictional person)

    Telling my husband

    I texted it to Dan on his lunch break with no explanation. He called me from the truck forty seconds in, and I could barely hear him over the crying.
    Jess M.Tulsa, OK
  • A young couple on a living-room floor laughing at a phone propped on a stack of books, she holds tiny white baby shoes (AI photo, fictional people)

    Our Instagram Reel

    We used the first chorus: the tiny shoes, then the due date right as the song sings April. Friends kept asking where the song was from.
    Priya & Sam K.Austin, TX
  • A grandfather-to-be at a desk in his study smiles at a laptop with a hand on his heart (AI photo, fictional person)

    Grandpa, across the country

    Dad lives in Oregon, so we played the gift page on a video call. He put his hand on his heart and asked us to play it again. Twice.
    Hannah O.Raleigh, NC
  • Friends cheer and hug in a backyard as confetti flies around the parents-to-be (AI photo, fictional people)

    Gender reveal party

    Our song built up to the answer in the last chorus, and we cut the cake right on that line. The whole backyard screamed on the beat.
    Marcus & Tia L.Atlanta, GA
  • A four-year-old boy on a sofa proudly holds up an ultrasound print while his mother laughs beside him (AI photo, fictional people)

    Baby number two

    Our four-year-old pressed play for the grandparents himself. The song calls him the best big brother on Maple Street, and he has not stopped saying it.
    Rachel D.Columbus, OH
  • A new father on a sofa holds a sleeping newborn while the mother rests her head on his shoulder (AI photo, fictional people)

    Birth announcement

    We sent the family her first photo and the song the morning we brought her home. My mother-in-law says she has played it every day since.
    Tom & Ellie W.Portland, ME
  • A mother by a window holds her newborn wrapped in a softly striped rainbow blanket, smiling with tears (AI photo, fictional people)

    Our rainbow baby

    After two losses we told almost no one until twenty weeks. The song said it gently, the way we couldn't, and our parents finally got to celebrate.

How it works

From the news to a song, in four steps

Most parents-to-be finish in one sitting, while the secret is still fresh.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us your news

    Who the song is for, your partner, your parents or the whole family, plus the baby's nickname or name, the due month and how you found out.

  2. Step 2

    Choose how it should sound

    A genre, a mood such as happy, festive or romantic, and a male voice, a female voice or a duet.

  3. Step 3

    Listen to two full versions

    Both arrive a few minutes later with a light preview watermark. If a line gives too much away, edit it and two new versions come back.

  4. Step 4

    Post it, send it, or wait

    After paying, download the MP3 and the vertical lyric video for your post, or send the private gift link now or on a day you schedule.

Questions

What parents ask about an announcement song

Short, honest answers before you share the news.

We haven't picked a name yet. Can the song still work?

Yes. Most parents-to-be use the nickname they already say, like Little Bean, Peanut or Baby R., and the lyrics can lean on the due month or the season instead. Plenty of families make a second song with the real name for the birth announcement.

Can we use it in an Instagram Reel or a TikTok?

Yes. After payment you can download the MP3 and a vertical MP4 lyric video, and we transfer our rights in the song to you, so posting it is your call. How Instagram, TikTok or any other platform handles audio you upload is decided by the platform.

How quickly can we have it?

Two versions are usually ready two to three minutes after you send your story, and the files unlock as soon as you pay. That leaves time to film the reveal the same day.

Can we keep it secret until the reveal?

Yes. Paying never sends anything to anyone. You choose when to share the gift link, and you can schedule the gift email for an exact time, like the minute your parents sit down to dinner.

Can it be a surprise for my partner or for the grandparents?

Yes. Say who it's from and who it's for, and add details only they'd recognize: the morning you found out, or what the baby will call them, Nana, Abuelo or Pop. If a name is unusual, add how it sounds in parentheses.

Can the song reveal whether it's a boy or a girl?

It can, if you write the answer into your story and ask for it near the end. You read the lyrics and hear both versions before paying, so if a line gives the secret away too early, edit it. At a party, play it at the reveal, not before.

Can the song be in Spanish, Portuguese or Italian?

Yes. Choose the song language when you pick the style: English, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. Many families choose the grandparents' language for the song that tells them.

What if we don't love it?

Then you don't pay. Edit a line, the mood or the voice and you get two new versions; the app shows how many rounds are left. Once you've paid, purchases are final except as our refund policy describes.

Which files do we get?

An MP3 of the song, a vertical MP4 lyric video and a lyrics PDF, plus a private gift page with a link and a QR code you can print in a card. The downloads are yours to keep and share.
