Which Stevie Wonder song is built around the repeated lyric “Isn’t she lovely”?

The Stevie Wonder song built around the repeated lyric “Isn’t she lovely” is “Isn’t She Lovely.”

Wonder wrote the song for his daughter Aisha Morris, who was born in 1975. The recording captures sounds associated with a newborn baby, including a brief recording of Aisha crying and vocalizing. Those sounds help give the track its intimate, celebratory character.

The song appeared on Wonder’s 1976 double album Songs in the Key of Life. Rather than being issued as a standard commercial single in the United States, it became one of the album’s best-known and most frequently performed tracks.

A common mix-up is to identify “Isn’t She Lovely” as a conventional romantic love song. Its central subject is a parent’s joy at the birth of a child, which explains the baby sounds heard in the recording.
