Noted by creator @macrosbymel, Rue is a rescue dog that needs some affirmations for social interactions. “POV you have a little jingle for the elevator ride to hype up your fearful baby,” she said.

The song begins with the lyrics “She’s so brave, she’s well-behaved, she is not afraid,” which resonated with TikTokers.

“Such powerful affirmations for Baby Rue,” a commenter added. The affirmations and tune were such a hit, the creator’s original sound generated many other videos. Some shared their nervous animals too, while others shared their conquests over life’s monotonous tasks.

Clearly, adult humans could use some affirmation songs as well.
