In the ballad, Ella sings about the weight of grief, wishing she could hear mom say, “My little bird, don’t you cry, hear my lullaby it’ll be alright.” The visuals accompanying the song feature a compilation of home videos giving a glimpse at the Travolta family’s joyful moments, including birthdays, plane rides, trips to Times Square’s since-shuttered Toys R Us and swims in their pool.

A day before releasing the track, Ella wrote on Instagram , “‘Little Bird’ is about a beautiful time in my life. I spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted this song to be, only for it to be written over night. This song is about the celebration of life.”

Her dad commemorated the song’s release on social media, writing on his Instagram Story, “This is a very special day. Ella is releasing her new single ‘Little Bird.’ This song and video is an homage to her mother, and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary with Kelly.”
