15 Second Baby Announcement Songs

The first announcement was about the two of you. The second baby announcement belongs to somebody else: the kid who is about to get promoted. That is the trick most second pregnancy announcement songs miss — and the reason the best baby number 2 announcements put the big sibling front and center and let them deliver the news. Below are 15 real songs for round two — starring the big kid, playing the sequel for laughs, or holding still for the family-of-four photo — plus one more idea: an original song that announces the baby by promoting your first kid, with their name in the words, for $39.90, delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Planning the whole reveal from scratch? Our full guide to pregnancy announcement songs covers the playbook.

Quick picks

• Best starring the big kid: "1234" — Feist. Count the family to four.
• Best funny: "Oops!... I Did It Again" — Britney Spears.
• Best growing-family anthem: "We Are Family" — Sister Sledge.
• Best for the quiet photo: "Slow Down" — Nichole Nordeman.
• Best custom: "Big Sister Now" or "Big Brother Now" — the announcement delivered as your first kid's promotion, $39.90 in 24 to 48 hours.

Listen: "Big Sister Now"

Here is the big-sibling-first idea in song form. "Big Sister Now" never says "we're expecting" — it promotes the older kid, and the news arrives inside her new title: "a baby in Mama's belly" who already likes her sound. Film her hearing it and you have the entire second announcement in one clip. There is a "Big Brother Now" version when the big kid is a boy, and the custom version swaps in your kid's actual name and quirks.

Starring the big sibling (1–4)

Hand the announcement to the kid. These four work when the big sibling is on camera doing the telling — and there are twenty more like them in our guide to big sibling announcement songs.

1. "1234" — Feist. She re-recorded her 2007 hit for Sesame Street as a count-to-four singalong — monsters, penguins, chickens — which makes it the sly perfect audio for a family about to hit four. Your toddler supplies the fingers.
2. "Two of Us" — The Beatles. Paul McCartney wrote it about aimless drives with Linda, but point "two of us riding nowhere" at a big kid holding a sonogram and it becomes the story of the pair ahead of you.
3. "You're My Best Friend" — Queen. John Deacon wrote it for his wife; families keep borrowing it for the other kind of best friend — the built-in one your first kid is about to receive.
4. "Count on Me" — Bruno Mars. The sibling pledge standard — but for baby number 2, flip the arrow: this time your big kid is the one whistling the promise instead of receiving it.

"Here we go again" playful picks (5–8)

A second pregnancy announcement can skip solemn. Everyone knows the drill now, so the joke can be the news.

5. "Oops!... I Did It Again" — Britney Spears. The reigning soundtrack for baby number 2 and beyond — TikTok is full of second- and third-baby reveals cut to it, and the title needs no caption.
6. "…Baby One More Time" — Britney Spears. Yes, Britney twice — the pun is that good. Couples have built entire parody announcements on it, rewriting the chorus into pregnant-again territory.
7. "Here I Go Again" — Whitesnake. The 1987 No. 1 gives your minivan-era news full hair-metal gravity. The title is the whole announcement; the key change is the confetti.
8. "Déjà Vu" — Olivia Rodrigo. Recreate your first announcement photo shot for shot — same pose, same porch, one extra kid — and let the 2021 title ask the question for you.

Growing-family songs (9–12)

For the montage between announcement and arrival — the house getting louder in the best way.

9. "We Are Family" — Sister Sledge. The 1979 anthem is the obvious growing-family pick, with a bonus wink when it is a second girl: "I got all my sisters with me."
10. "Our House" — Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Graham Nash's 1970 ode to happy domestic chaos — a full house, life comfortably overflowing, about to get more so.
11. "My Front Porch Looking In" — Lonestar. The 2003 country No. 1 about the best view a parent has: a house filling up with little kids, sippy cups and all.
12. "Home" — Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. "Home is wherever I'm with you" is the family-of-four thesis in one line — whistle-along warm under a packing-the-nursery montage.

Quiet picks for the family-of-four photo (13–15)

For the caption-light post: matching pajamas, four stockings, one coat peg waiting.

13. "A Thousand Years" — Christina Perri. Still the dependable soft build for a slow reveal — quiet verse for the lead-up, chorus swell for the fourth pair of shoes.
14. "Slow Down" — Nichole Nordeman. She wrote it about her own kid growing up too fast, and it has made millions of parents cry online. It catches the bittersweet center of baby number 2: your baby is suddenly the big kid.
15. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" — Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. The gentle ukulele standard for a hushed announcement — and the near-automatic choice when baby number 2 is a rainbow baby.

The lyrics

Common questions

How do you announce a second pregnancy?

Make the first kid the messenger. The classic formats: a promotion-shirt reveal, the big kid holding the sonogram, or a filmed reaction that becomes the announcement itself. A song built around the big sibling — famous or custom — turns the moment from "we have news" into "look who got promoted," which is exactly the frame older kids need.

What are funny second baby announcement songs?

"Oops!... I Did It Again" is the reigning pick, with "…Baby One More Time," Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," and Olivia Rodrigo's "Déjà Vu" close behind. All four run on the same joke: everyone has seen this movie before — except the sequel has a new character.

How do I involve my first child in the announcement?

Give them a real role, not a prop job. Let them spill the secret to the grandparents, hold the sign, or sing the reveal line. Film two moments: their face when they learn the news, and their delivery of it to everyone else. A custom song about them — name included — gives them the starring role and gives you the soundtrack for both clips.

How much does a custom second baby announcement song cost?

A custom song from Songbond is $39.90 and arrives in 24 to 48 hours, with unlimited revisions. Tell us your big kid's name and what they are like, and we write "Big Sister Now" or "Big Brother Now" around them — so the second announcement celebrates both of your children at once.

Let the big kid deliver the news

Your second announcement does not need a bigger stunt than the first — it needs the right narrator. Have a custom "Big Sister Now" or "Big Brother Now" song written for $39.90, delivered in 24 to 48 hours and revised until it is right: their name, their promotion, your news. Prefer to tell the grandparents and the group chat yourselves first? A custom pregnancy announcement song handles that version of the reveal.
