New Baby & Lullaby Song Videos

The songs on this page welcomed real babies: lullabies with the child's own name in the chorus, songs written by grandparents meeting a first grandchild, tributes from parents to the newborn asleep on their chest, and songs honoring the mothers who just did the hardest thing there is. A personalized lullaby is a different object than a nursery playlist — it was composed for exactly one child, and it will still belong to them at five, at fifteen, at fifty.

Families commission baby songs at every point in the story: during pregnancy, as a reveal for a name kept secret; at the birth itself; for baby showers, where the song often becomes the moment of the party; and for adoptions and rainbow babies, where the road to this child deserves its own verse. The lyrics carry what the family wants the child to eventually know — how much they were wanted, who was waiting for them, the hopes already gathered around their name. Parents tell us the song becomes part of the bedtime ritual, and that a child a few years later singing along to a song about themselves is its own reward.

Listen to the videos below to hear how tender and how personal these get. If there's a baby arriving in your world — yours, your grandchild, a best friend's — a song written for that child makes a gift nothing on a registry can touch: the first thing they'll ever own that was made from their own story.

Parents often start playing the song before the birth — to the bump, on the drive to the hospital, in the first minutes home. Godparents and grandparents commission them too, sometimes as shower gifts with the name kept secret until the chorus. And because the recording keeps, many families plan the long game: the same lullaby that settles a newborn gets replayed at milestone birthdays, and someday, at a graduation or a wedding.
