Natasha Bedingfield‘s “Unwritten” has lived a lot of lives in the two-plus decades since its 2004 release, from being the theme song for MTV’s The Hills starting in 2006 to its prominent placement in the 2023 rom-com Anyone But You. Now it’s back again, as the first-ever cover song on the Moonbug Entertainment kids’ series Emmie’s Wonder Wardrobe.

Billboard Family is exclusively premiering the “Unwritten” cover and video below from the Little Angel spin-off, which follows Baby John’s pink-haired big sister Emmie, “whose closet is bursting with costumes, colors, and endless possibilities,” according to a show synopsis. In the new video, Emmie and her friends make the most of a rainy day by dressing up like mermaids who embrace the water instead of hiding from it. As they ride scooters through muddy puddles while wearing mermaid tails, Bedingfield’s lyrics perfectly match the mood: “Feel the rain on your skin/ No one else can feel it for you/ Only you can let it in.”
Lola Reynoso, music director for Emmie’s Wonder Wardrobe — which premiered last month on April — explained why the top five Billboard Hot 100 hit was a great fit for the newest series from Moonbug Entertainment (CoComelon, Blippi).
“‘Unwritten’ is a timeless pop song that as soon as you hear it you want to sing it at the top of your lungs,” Reynoso tells Billboard Family. “It’s positive and uplifting energy was an inspiration for the music in Emmie’s Wonder Wardrobe and was the perfect first cover for the show because its message of self-discovery and embracing who you are is at the heart of the series. We hope families sing along together and that kids come away feeling inspired to express themselves and celebrate their individuality just like Emmie does in every episode.”
Another reason “Unwritten” makes sense for Emmie’s Wonder Wardrobe is that the series is targeting older preschoolers who are making the transition from the nursery rhymes of CoComelon to family-friendly pop hits like this one.
