Post Malone is about to help parents make bedtime a little easier.
“Post Malone songs are getting lullaby-ified for an upcoming Rockabye Baby album, Billboard can exclusively announce,” the outlet revealed on Instagram.
The album will include baby-friendly versions of some of Malone’s biggest hits, including “Sunflower,” “Circles” and “I Had Some Help.”
“Pulling from every corner of Post Malone’s genre-blurring catalog, the album turns his hits into soft, cozy soundscapes parents will love just as much as kids do,” a press release from Rockabye Baby shared. “And while Post’s signature look may be bold, these lullabies keep things sweet, swapping grills and ink for twinkles and bedtime bliss.”

Rockabye Baby has given the lullaby treatment to other artists, including The Beatles, Beyonce, Linkin Park, Ariana Grande and the Backstreet Boys.
“Rockabye Baby is the world’s leading lullaby brand with over 130 releases and over 4 billion streams to date,” a description on the company’s website reads. “Headquartered in Los Angeles and staffed by music lovers from around the globe, we transform the songs you love into soothing instrumental lullabies for fans of all ages to enjoy.”
Rockabye Baby’s creator, Lisa Roth, told San Diego’s CBS 8 that the idea came after shopping for a friend who was expecting a baby.
“I went shopping and saw nothing that I was excited to give her, and I thought, ‘I work at a record label, I think we can do something about this,’” she explained.
While some of the artists Rockabye Baby choose to spotlight aren’t exactly kid-friendly, Roth explained that the company takes care to create covers that will entertain children — and won’t cause parents any concern — using “very organic sounding instruments, like glockenspiel, wood blocks and xylophones.”
“The great thing is, there are no lyrics,” she continued. “You don’t have to worry about harming your baby’s psyche early on.”
This partnership with Rockabye Baby isn’t the only project Malone has due out; the artist’s seventh studio album, The Eternal Buzz, is expected later this year. Malone is also currently on tour, which he moved back in order to finalize the tracks on The Eternal Buzz.
“We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done,” he announced on Instagram.
Rockabye’s album of Post Malone covers is available to stream now.
