A recent viral TikTok has captured the hearts of parents, showcasing a baby calming down to the hip-hop classic “Get Low” by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, featuring Ying Yang Twins. Following this trend, parents have begun sharing the quirky tracks that their little ones find soothing.
Melissa’s Musical Experiment
Melissa Buckley, a soon-to-be mom, decided to experiment with music to encourage her baby to settle into a better birthing position during her third trimester. Her chosen anthem? The aptly titled “Get Low.” Posting as @melissak1996 on Instagram, she wondered, “Do any other babies get soothed by random songs?” She shared with her 19,000 followers that she often played the upbeat track to help her son, Jackson, engage with the right position.
Although Melissa joked that her strategy didn’t quite pan out before birth, it took a delightful turn after Jackson entered the world. In a video posted on April 17, she cradles her crying infant and instructs Alexa to play “Get Low.” Miraculously, the 8-week-old baby quiets down and gazes curiously before snuggling into his mother’s chest.
The Viral Moment
The lighthearted clip, also shared on TikTok, was captioned with, “POV: Your baby has great music taste.” She humorously noted in the caption, “It gets him every time. He was fast asleep by the end of the song haha!” This charming moment has since racked up over 26 million views across platforms, sparking a flurry of amused comments from viewers.
