Which Bob Marley song appears on the album Exodus and features the repeated phrase “three little birds”?

“Three Little Birds” is the Bob Marley song that appears on Exodus and features the repeated phrase “three little birds.”

The song was released on Bob Marley and the Wailers’ ninth studio album, Exodus, in 1977. Its reassuring message and simple melody made it one of Marley’s best-known songs, especially among listeners discovering reggae through compilation albums and radio broadcasts.

The title is often linked to birds Marley saw near his home in Hope Road, Kingston, although accounts differ about the exact inspiration. Marley’s former home later became the Bob Marley Museum. The song’s optimistic tone contrasts with several politically urgent tracks on Exodus, including “Exodus” and “The Heathen.”

“Three Little Birds” is sometimes mistaken for a separate single-era composition because it became so widely known outside the album. Its enduring popularity has also made it common in children’s music, advertising, sports settings, and public singalongs.
