But there are a lot of different kinds of playlists.

You can find a lot of different songs.

I definitely have a pretty large catalog

And I feel like all of the stuff that's on there right now is probably mostly that it's music videos and kind of in that format.

Oh, yeah.

So that song is basically just a song about how to, you know, encouraging kids to move in different ways and do different things and do it in their own way.

And when we filmed it, we always make a point of trying to have, you know, diverse group of kids on every level of diversity.

But we wanted to make sure that we saw we're showing the kids who watched it could see kids that they could identify with on screen.

There are definitely a lot of kids on the autism spectrum in that video.

And we wanted to sort of make a bigger point about that in that video.

So that was part of the idea behind it.

It wasn't necessarily when I wrote the song, but I also got, again, a lot of feedback from people across all different kinds of communities of like, this is just how well received that song was.
