The story behind the song

"Three Little Birds" is a beloved song by Bob Marley and the Wailers, appearing as the fourth track on side two of their 1977 album Exodus. It was later released as a single in 1980. The song's uplifting message has made it one of Marley's most popular, leading many to affectionately call it "Don't Worry About a Thing" or "Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright" due to those memorable phrases in the chorus. While the exact inspiration for the lyrics is debated, some believe it was inspired by birds Marley observed near his home, with a friend recalling canaries visiting his windowsill. Others suggest it refers to the three female singers from the reggae group I Threes who performed with Marley.
