Baby Shark Dance Kid's Song Becomes Most-Watched YouTube Video as it Beats 'Despacito' to Gain Over 7 Billion Views

You may not be a child anymore but there is no doubt you have heard the kid's song Baby Shark. And if you hear it once now, you will keep humming its addictive tune, going "Baby Shark dooo doo doo doo doo". The catchy tune has worked in its favour as the video has become the most-watched YouTube videos with over 7.04 billion views. With that record, the song puts behind "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi. So for all the Baby Shark lovers, your replaying it over and over again has somewhere contributed to this feat.

YouTube video titled, "Baby Shark Dance" clocked over seven billion views on November 2 to make this record-breaking achievement. The two-minute song was released in 2016 by Seoul-based production company Pinkfong, a content creator under Korean startup SmartStudy. The Korean version however, was found itself in trouble over some sexist lyrics. But the original song featuring little kids wearing colourful clothes, dancing on the catchy tune, this song has become a kid's favourite no doubt. And given its popularity, a handwashing version was also released in March at the onset of coronavirus pandemic.
