A sweet, spontaneous moment turned into a viral sensation when a 4-month-old baby named Alder was filmed reacting to Karen Carpenter’s classic “I Know I Need to Be in Love.”
While sitting in his carrier on the kitchen table, Alder’s gentle coos and expressions made it seem like he was trying to sing along — even though he hasn’t said his first word yet.
The video, captured by family friend Annie, who sang the song to him, quickly spread online, amassing over 9.4 million views on YouTube.
Viewers from around the world were moved by the baby’s emotional connection to the music.
Experts say music has a profound effect on babies, even before they can talk — and this clip proves just how powerful that connection can be.
It’s a beautiful reminder that music truly is the language of the heart, capable of touching even the youngest among us.
Moments like this remind us how joy and emotion can come from the simplest, most unexpected places — even a kitchen table and a lullaby.
