A recent viral TikTok trend showcased a baby who was instantly soothed by the hip-hop classic “Get Low”—and now, parents everywhere are sharing their own amusing song choices that work wonders for their little ones. From the moment a woman begins her journey into pregnancy, she finds herself trying various methods—from cozy pregnancy pillows to soothing body lotions—to make her changing body more comfortable. One expectant mother, Sarah Thompson, turned to music in her third trimester to help encourage her baby into a better birthing position. Her go-to track? The aptly named “Get Low” by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz featuring the Ying Yang Twins.
Sarah, who shared her experience under the username sarahmomlife on Instagram, asked her followers, “Has anyone else noticed their babies respond to unexpected songs?” She explained to her 15,000 followers that she often played the upbeat hip-hop tune during her pregnancy “to help get the baby positioned correctly.” Although she chuckled at how her musical approach didn’t quite achieve its intended goal, the outcome was different once her baby, Leo, arrived.
In a video posted on April 17, Sarah cradles her newborn, who is crying. She asks her smart speaker to play “Get Low,” and just like that, little Leo’s cries fade away as he looks intrigued and eventually snuggles into his mother’s chest. Sarah also uploaded this clip to TikTok, captioned, “POV: Your baby has exceptional taste in music.” She noted, “It works every time! He was sound asleep by the end of the song!” The video has since exploded on social media, racking up over 30 million views and sparking a flurry of comments from other parents sharing their own quirky soothing songs.
