Three Little Birds was written and performed by Bob Marley and the Wailers and first appeared on the 1977 album Exodus, where its simple message of reassurance made it one of Marley's most widely recognised songs. The opening line, telling listeners not to worry because every little thing will be all right, has long been quoted on its own as a piece of everyday comfort. Short clips of that line now circulate in memes, reaction videos and social posts, where the familiar melody instantly signals optimism without needing the full song.
