About This Song

They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective. They make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!

This family hip hop anthem for the threenager stage captures the beautiful chaos of raising a three-year-old. Parents of preschoolers who are deep in the trenches: you’re not alone! But yes, things were easier when they were two.

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

I’ve only been on this planet
For three short years
But I gotta tell ya one thing is clear
I know I’m loud
And I don’t mean to shout
But that’s just how
My feelings come out

THREEnager

That thing in your hand
I want it a lot
If I don’t have it right now
I’m a blow my top
When you hand it over
I won’t want it no more
I’ll chuck that old thing
Right onto the floor

I’m just being me
And that’s all I can do
Can you believe things were easier
When I was two?
Every day a new challenge
A new battle to wage
But it’s all appropriate
For my age

THREEnager
THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager
I’m a THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager

  • I’m Not Tired!

    ByWolfie

    The yawning. The eye rubbing. The absolute insistence that they are NOT tired. “I’m Not Tired!” is every bedtime negotiation set to a beat — the snack requests, the TV demands, the Bluey bargaining. And then the line that every parent feels in their bones: “My voice will be heard around the nation, because I lack emotional regulation.”

  • Time To Get Dressed! (Put on Your Clothes)

    ByWolfie

    If the morning routine has a final boss, it’s getting your kid into clothes. They’re comfy. They don’t want to exit pajamas. Pants are optional in their worldview. “Time To Get Dressed!” turns the daily clothing struggle into a race against the song, and it really works! Challenge your kids to see if they can get dressed by the end of the song. One leg, two leg, shirt on the body now!

  • Big ol’ Truck!

    ByFoxy Rox

    There’s no explaining it — your kid sees a truck and the whole world stops. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dump truck, a fire engine, or just a normal pickup. “Big ol’ Truck!” captures that pure, unfiltered hype that only a kid standing on the sidewalk pointing at heavy machinery can produce. Oh wow oh man! Inspired by a real quote from my son when he was 2.

  • Let’s Go Outside!

    ByWolfie

    It could be raining. It could be a hurricane! But the kids need to go outside. We’ve all had the realization that no amount of toys, screen time, or couch forts will substitute for just getting them out the door. “Let’s Go Outside!” is that truth set to a beat, it’s as much a pep talk for us as it is for them.

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    ByFoxy Rox

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • It’s a Stick!

    ByWolfie

    Hand a kid a stick and watch what happens! It’s a sword. It’s a rocket ship. It’s the key to an entire kingdom that didn’t exist thirty seconds ago. “It’s a Stick!” captures that wild, beautiful imagination that turns the simplest thing in the yard into the greatest toy ever made. Plus, “It’s a beautiful incredible stick!” is a direct quote from my 3 year old.
