The “I think I like this little life” trend on TikTok generated a huge buzz, with users adding their own twists to the mix. British singer-songwriter Cordelia O’Driscoll released the song, “Little Life,” as part of her 2023 album, “Caramel.” Since then, the song has gained popularity through TikTok videos and Instagram Reels. One of the ways the trend got viral was moms singing the popular line, “I think I like this little life,” to prank and catch their kids off guard.
Watch these moms prank their kids by bursting into song out of nowhere
A TikTok video compiles various clips of moms abruptly singing “I think I like this little life” and scaring their kids as a harmless prank. Creator @sparkflare2 shared the video on the platform, showing how mothers wait for the perfect opportunity to sing the line and record their little ones’ honest reactions.
Clip after clip, mamas wait for a quiet moment, then suddenly burst into “I think I like this little life.” That’s all it takes for the children to jump from their seats. The regular life in the backdrop makes the video feel all the more relatable. While one mother-daughter duo is busy with skincare, another is sunk into the couch to watch some TV together.
A kid is deep into his coloring session when his mother pranks him, while another is knee-deep in crafts. The moms land the song’s lyric right in the middle of those everyday routines, and the kids’ minds try hard to process it in real time. As for toddlers, they tend to jolt and then scan their mamas’ faces for clues to “What just happened?”
The compilation sneaks in a few curveballs, with some trying the trend with their furbabies, and one testing it out on her coworkers. No matter who the victim of this trend is, everyone looks equally confused. The trend celebrates shared bonds between moms and their kids — even if the singing is momentarily jarring.
