In the clip, Ms. Appleberry (played by Allie Rivera Quiñonez, while pregnant with her third child) is surrounded by four parents wearing dog-ear headbands with their mini-mes all dressed in matching cozy puppy onesies. “You are my puppy/ Make me so happy,” Ms. Appleberry sings to the families. “You are my puppy/ Happy puppy, happy/ I love you.”
The video also includes animated dogs that match the parent-toddler duos and footage of real puppies in a series of snuggly moments.

The new episode of The Melon Patch that includes the “Happy Puppy” song also premieres on Thursday, on the show’s YouTube channel.
The Melon Patch premiered last year as a live-action expansion of the animated CoComelon world of baby JJ. The musical and interactive series intends to get kids moving, learning and growing with its sing-along songs, like the ones included on Music & Me.
Of course, CoComelon has a long history of music, including its classic “Wheels on the Bus” recording, which has had a consistent presence on Billboard‘s Global charts thanks in part to its video’s heavy rotation on YouTube. The song has so far peaked at No. 88 on the Global 200 Excl. U.S. and has 9.7 billion views on YouTube since its 2018 debut.
Also on the horizon: CoComelon: The Movie, hitting theaters on Feb. 19, with voice-acting work from R&B superstar SZA and original music from pop hitmaker Justin Tranter.
