What it is
"Three Little Birds" is a roots reggae song written by Bob Marley and recorded by Bob Marley and the Wailers for the 1977 album Exodus, later released as a single in 1980. It is built around a repeated, reassuring chorus. Accounts of its inspiration differ: some point to birds that visited Marley's Hope Road home, while the I Threes backing singers say the title refers to them.
