New Kid
A friendship song for kids about being the new one — and about being the friend who walks over first.
Watch New Kid on YouTubeWhat this song is about
New Kid is for every child who has ever stood at the edge of a playground wondering whether anyone will say hello. It's a friendship story set to music, told with Watson's warmth rather than a lecture.
It works both ways: it comforts the child who feels new, and it gently nudges the child who could be the one to walk over first.
The feeling it explores
Friendship and belonging — one of the threads running through every Watson story, song and game. You can read more about where these ideas come from on Watson's own story.
Who it's for
Children aged 3 to 8, especially around a new school, class or move.
