Which Bob Marley song was included on the 1977 album Exodus and became known for its birdsong imagery?

“Three Little Birds” was included on Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1977 album Exodus.

The song is a concise, reassuring reggae composition built around a repeated message that listeners should not worry. Its title and imagery are commonly connected with birds that Marley saw near his home in Jamaica, although accounts differ over the precise inspiration and whether the phrase referred to specific birds.

“Three Little Birds” was not initially the album’s biggest international single, but it became one of Marley’s most recognizable songs through later releases, radio play, advertising, and its use in popular culture. The song is often quoted for its optimistic refrain.

Exodus was recorded partly in London after Marley left Jamaica following the political violence surrounding the 1976 Smile Jamaica concert. The album is widely regarded as one of his most important recordings.
