As any parent or teacher can tell you, most little kids love to sing. It doesn't matter where they are or what they're doing, they can always find an excuse to burst into song — and sometimes the source of their inspiration is pretty surprising!
In an adorable video posted on June 3, a toddler girl is singing a song she made up herself, and it's clearly destined to be a hit. Apparently she's having a hard time finding one of her shoes, but instead of complaining about her situation, she channels her frustrations musically!

"Me after the club," wrote BabeRUTHLE$$.
"Where was this song when I needed it this weekend ? Fyi I still haven't found my shoes," wrote Mbalzie.
Bet she had no idea her song would reach so many people on such a deep level! If you have a kid with a similar flair for improvising tunes on the post, experts say that could be a very good thing.
Why You Should Encourage Your Toddler to Make Up Songs
When you think about the advantages associated with exposing young kids to music , you might assume that formal lessons are necessary — but research has shown that this isn't necessarily the case, according to The Conversation.
"Instead, try making up songs with your toddler. A new study suggests that regular informal music-making with very young children may even have benefits above and beyond those of reading. But there’s an important, interesting, and somewhat beautiful catch – for best results, make it shared music-making in your home."
Researchers found that kids who make up music at home between the ages of two and three have "better literacy, numeracy, social skills, and attention and emotion regulation by the age of five."
"By measuring the impact of music and reading both separately and in combined samples, the researchers were able to identify benefits from informal music activity over and above shared book reading, most strongly in relation to positive social behavior, attention regulation and to a lesser but still significant extent, numeracy."
Plus, the right song can even help you locate a lost shoe!
