NEW YORK, NY (September 14, 2026) – Republic Records: Kids & Family and DreamWorks Animation today announce the release of Pawty Time, the brand-new EP from Gabby’s Dollhouse, available now on all streaming platforms alongside the highly anticipated Season 14 premiere, streaming exclusively on Netflix—listen to Pawty Time HERE.

Marking an exciting first for the franchise, Pawty Time introduces the first-ever musical crossover featuring Gabby’s little sister Doozie and her adorable puppy pal Puggie. Led by the focus track “Meow-Meow Bow-Wow Family,” the six-song EP celebrates family, friendship, imagination, and the playful bond between cats and dogs through a collection of upbeat original songs designed for kids and parents to sing and dance, and play together.

Season 14 brings double the paws and double the fun as Doozie visits the Dollhouse for her very first cat-and-dog playdate. Across all-new episodes, Gabby, Pandy Paws, the Gabby Cats, Doozie, and Puggie embark on playful adventures including puppy-themed unboxings, magical fairy-sitting, kitty-and-puppy baking, and a birthday mystery ride for DJ Catnip, all celebrating the special bond between siblings and the power of imaginative play.

Since its debut, Gabby’s Dollhouse has become one of the world’s most successful preschool franchises and the most-watched kids series on Netflix, inspiring an award-winning toy line, publishing, consumer products, original music, a top-rated app, and a YouTube channel enjoyed by millions of fans every week. Following the success of Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, recent music releases including the Fairylandia songs, and more than 650 million global streams, Pawty Time continues to expand the franchise’s ever-growing musical universe while introducing fans to an exciting new chapter.

“This EP is such a fun milestone for the Gabby’s Dollhouse universe,” said Bree Bowles, Senior Vice President, Republic Records: Kids & Family. “Introducing Doozie through music creates a whole new way for families to connect with these characters, and ‘Meow-Meow Bow-Wow Family’ perfectly captures the heart of what makes this franchise so special. We’re incredibly proud to continue growing the music alongside DreamWorks Animation and bringing fans even more stories they can sing, dance, and celebrate together.”

“We’ve always believed that music is one of the most joyful ways to expand the world of Gabby’s Dollhouse, and Pawty Time is no exception,” said Alexandra Nickson, Senior Vice President, Music, DreamWorks Animation. “Bringing Gabby and Doozie together musically opens the door to a wonderful new dynamic that families will instantly fall in love with. Music has always been central to the storytelling in Gabby’s Dollhouse, and this EP captures the fun, warmth, humor, and imagination that define both series.”

Created and executive produced by celebrated storytellers Traci Paige Johnson (Blue’s Clues, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) and Jennifer Twomey (Blue’s Clues, Team Umizoomi), Gabby’s Dollhouse continues to delight preschool audiences through its signature mixed-media storytelling, where every unboxing leads to imaginative adventures and every mistake becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.

Like a Butterfly ✨ Official Music Video | Winx Club: The Magic Is Back | Winx Club Official

Like a Butterfly ✨ Official Music Video | Winx Club: The Magic Is Back | Winx Club Official


Spread your wings and fly to the rhythm of the music!

🎶 LYRICS: LIKE A BUTTERFLY

I look into your soul
I see we're paying the toll
The courage is gone
Now mem'ries unfold and take hold

Against the dark we fight
Driven by the light
As destiny plays we look to the sky
Far and bright

Cause we're nothing more
Than a shadow on the wall
Yes we're nothing more
Than a star 'bout to fall

No matter what, light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a butterfly
My heart is crying and I just wanna scream
But I konw where I've been
I won't stop chasing my dreams

Against the tide it ain't easy but I won't give up
No matter what light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a butterfly

Now is time

I look into my soul
I finally see my role
I don't wanna be alone on the shore
Anymore

Cause I'll be no more
Just a shadow on the wall
Yes I'll be much more
Like a star I won't fall

No matter what light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a Butterfly
My heart is crying and I just wanna scream
But I konw where I've been
I won't stop chasing my dreams

Against the tide it ain't easy but I won't give up
No matter what light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a butterfly

No matter what light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a butterfly
My heart is crying and I just wanna scream
But I konw where I've been
I won't stop chasing my dreams

Against the tide it ain't easy but I won't give up
No matter what light and easy I will fly
I will never say goodbye
I'll be like a Butterfly
Now is time
Now is time 

Turn up the volume and get ready to sing and dance along with the Winx to the notes of "Like a Butterfly". The magic is in the beat: let yourself be carried away to an enchanted world with Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Aisha!

Breakout Boyband JYT Set to Headline Arthur Ashe Kids' Day at the 2026 US Open Sunday August 23

BREAKOUT BOYBAND JYT SET TO HEADLINE ARTHUR ASHE KIDS’ DAY AT THE 2026 US OPEN SUNDAY AUGUST 23

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JUSTIN BIEBER, ARIANA GRANDE, RIHANNA, JONAS BROTHERS, AND MORE

LISTEN TO JYT’S NEWEST SINGLE “FIRST TIME” HERE

JYT Boyband Members
Nick Withmill

NEW YORK, NY (August 19, 2026) – Breakout boyband JYT (Just Your Type) will headline Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day at the 2026 US Open this Sunday, August 23 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.

The performance marks a major moment for the five teenage members of JYT, who join an extraordinary history of artists who have taken the Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day stage on their way to becoming some of the biggest names in music, including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Shawn Mendes, Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Fifth Harmony, and more.

The announcement arrives as JYT’s momentum continues to soar. In the past 30 days alone, JYT has generated more than 150 million social views and gained 450,000 new followers, with audience growth accelerating sixfold over the past 60 days.

The performance this Sunday caps a milestone summer for JYT, who recently wrapped a 23-stop Summer Camp Tour across New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, performing for more than 15,000 campers and sparking a level of real-world fandom rarely seen around a new act. With phones largely prohibited at many of the camps, word of JYT has spread in a decidedly old-school way: campers telling friends, siblings sharing stories when they return home, counselors talking between camps, and kids asking their own camps to bring the group in. Night after night, performances have been met by crowds of young fans singing along, making signs, and turning what began as a summer tour into something much bigger. Watch HERE.

JYT Boyband Members
Nick Withmill

Their Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day performance brings that energy to one of New York’s biggest stages and one of the country’s longest-running celebrations of youth, sports, and entertainment. The annual US Open tradition honors the life and legacy of tennis champion and cultural icon Arthur Ashe and brings together world-class tennis with music and entertainment for kids and families.

“I’ve only felt this kind of instinct about a young artist a few times in my life,” said Freddy Wexler, founder of The Freddy Wexler Company and creator of JYT. “One of the first was a young woman named Stefani Germanotta. I remember telling people she was going to be a superstar long before the world knew her as Lady Gaga. I take zero credit for what she went on to accomplish, but that experience taught me to trust my gut when something feels truly special. I have that feeling again with JYT. What’s happening around these five guys right now is real, it’s organic, and it’s moving incredibly fast. Seeing them take the stage at Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day feels like the beginning of a much bigger story.”

JYT Boyband Members
Nick Withmill

JYT enters Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day on the heels of new single “First Time,” released August 7 and debuted live the night before at Z100’s Summer Bash at Hudson Yards, where the group shared a bill with Charlie Puth, Yeonjun, and Bella Kay before a record crowd of more than 10,000, the largest in the event’s history. The song continues a defining summer for the group as they prepare for an ambitious run of live performances through the end of the year.

Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day kicks off US Open Fan Week on Sunday, August 23, with a full day of tennis, music, player appearances, and family entertainment across the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Over the years, the event has become known not only as a beloved US Open tradition, but as an early stage for some of music’s biggest stars.

JYT Logo

For JYT, the performance marks the latest milestone in a year that has seen five teenage artists turn a shared ambition into one of pop music’s most exciting new stories.

And they’re only getting started.

Republic Records: Kids & Family Releases New Bobblys EP 'Summer Club'

REPUBLIC RECORDS: KIDS & FAMILY RELEASES NEW BOBBLYS EP SUMMER CLUB TODAY

FEATURING NEW SINGLE “OCEAN WAVE RAVE”

LISTEN HERE

'SUMMER CLUB' EP Artwork
SUMMER CLUB EP Artwork

NEW YORK, NY (July 24th, 2026) – Today, Republic Records: Kids & Family releases the brand new EP from BOBBLYS titled SUMMER CLUB, available now on all streaming platforms. Led by the new single “Ocean Wave Rave,” the six-song collection captures the excitement of summer through a soundtrack made for singing, dancing, and making memories together.

Following their debut EP BLAST OFF! and first-ever introduction with the song “Cat Party” in Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, BOBBLYS return with six new original songs celebrating everything from sunny beach days to Latin-inspired songs about mangoes. Featuring “Summertime,” “Sunblock,” “Dance Moves,” and more, SUMMER CLUB continues to build the musical world of BOBBLYS with catchy songs designed for kids and families to enjoy together.

“From the beginning, BOBBLYS has been about creating music that feels silly, fresh, and genuinely exciting for families,” said Bree Bowles, Senior Vice President, Republic Records: Kids & Family. “SUMMER CLUB is full of songs that capture the energy of the season, and Ryan Crego and Alex Geringas continue to create music that kids connect with.”

“Summer is one of those seasons where every day feels like an adventure,” said Ryan Crego. “We wanted these songs to reflect that feeling, whether it’s spending the day outside, dancing with your friends, or just making the most of being together. My kids were once again our toughest critics, and if they kept asking to hear a song again, we knew we had something.”

“One of my favorite things about making music for BOBBLYS is that we get to write songs that families can actually experience together,” said Alex Geringas. “The goal is always to create music that’s fun first. If kids are singing these songs at the beach, in the car, or at home all summer long, we’ve done our job.”

Journeying from outer space, the BOBBLYS have arrived on Earth with the same boundless curiosity as a child. Their endless questions—from “What is a banana?” to learning the ABCs—are transformed into irresistibly fun, upbeat songs that spark imagination and get little feet dancing. By seeing our world through fresh eyes, the BOBBLYS create the perfect musical adventure, turning every moment of discovery into a shared celebration for curious little minds. Since launching in 2025, BOBBLYS has continued to grow through original music inspired by curiosity, imagination, and everyday adventures.

  1. “Summertime”
  2. “Ocean Wave Rave”
  3. “Mango Bango”
  4. “Sunblock”

SUNBLOCK

Written by Alex Geringas & Ryan Crego

Bobblys at the beach
We're at the beach baby

Going to the beach playing beach ball
The sun is burning but it doesn't hurt at all
Because I'm wearing my sunglasses and my sun hat

Cool

You got to use sunblock
That's when you rock
Otherwise your Bobbly Bobbly skin gets shocked

Use sunblock
That's when you rock
A Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly beach ball

We're Bobbly playing ball under the big yellow sun
Hanging with my homies and having some fun
We don't want to get burnt before the fun has begun

Use sunblock
Then you rock

Let's block the sun
Let's block the sun
Let's play beach ball and enjoy the fun

Let's block the sun
Let's block the sun
Play beach ball and enjoy the fun

You got to use sunblock
That's when you rock
Otherwise your Bobbly Bobbly skin gets shocked

Use sunblock
That's when you rock
A Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly beach ball

Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly beach ball baby
Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly sunblock
A Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly Bobbly beach ball baby

Use sunblock

Let's block the sun

Let's play beach ball and enjoy the fun

Let's block the sun

The Duo Behind the Iconic 'PAW Patrol' Theme Song Launch New Project, Pep and Perk | Interview

Ever since we first heard the PAW Patrol theme song when the titular CG-animated preschool series, produced by Spin Master Entertainment, debuted on Nickelodeon back in 2013, much like the beloved show itself, it has gone on to become one of the most popular, addicting children's songs of all time, thanks to its catchy tune and lyrics.

Pep and Perk - 'It's Cool To Be A Kid'
The duo behind the iconic 'PAW Patrol' theme song are back with their latest project, Pep and Perk!

The iconic tune recently went Platinum and has more than 350 million streams across YouTube and Spotify alone. Its infectiousness has been lauded by celebrity parents like Ryan Reynolds, Dax Shepard, Savannah Guthrie and Serena Williams.

Now, Scott Krippayne and Michael "Smidi" Smith, the Emmy-winning duo behind the massively popular "PAW Patrol Theme Song," who have spent years crafting some of the most recognizable music in children’s entertainment, are stepping out with their own project Pep and Perk, releasing their brand new album It’s Cool To Be A Kid, out now.

The 10-song collection celebrates the everyday moments that make childhood feel magical. The album's lead single “Rainy Days” feat. Peabod, kicks things off with an upbeat reminder to families to make the most of even a gloomy day. The all-new track is available to listen to HERE.

Michael and Scott have more than 25 #1s and have written for artists such as Sia, Charlie XCX, Bebe Rexha & more. The duo’s hit songs can also be heard across Nickelodeon, Disney, and Netflix, on shows including Blaze and the Monster Machines, Baby Shark, DuckTales, Bubble Guppies, and 101 Dalmatian Street. Together, the duo have garnered accolades including Clio, Telly, Addy, and multiple BMI Awards.

"Writing music for kids has been one of the most rewarding parts of our careers," said the duo. "It's why Pep and Perk felt like a natural next step. These songs are inspired by some of our favorite moments with our own kids like playing in the rain, making popcorn or eating too many cookies. We hope families will love listening to this together."

With over 6 million streams to date and over 1,000 YouTube subscribers, Pep and Perk have become a popular and safe space for kids and families all over the world. Pep and Perk’s catchy catalogue of kid-approved tunes have been featured on platforms such as Apple Music, Tonies, Yoto Player, and YouTube Kids.

Ahead of the release of their new project, NickALive! had the fantastic opportunity to chat with Michael and Scott about their career, including about how they came up with the now iconic PAW Patrol theme song, as well as their brand new project, Pep and Perk. Check out our interview below!

For anyone who somehow hasn't heard it yet, how did the Paw Patrol theme song come together? Walk us through the origin story.

We'd known each other for a few years but hadn't yet collaborated on anything. When the music brief came in for a show about lovable rescue pups, we thought we'd take a couple shots at it. One of those songs (with a number of rewrites) made it into the final round of theme options for the show. I had to sing a few final lyric changes into my laptop on vacation, but Smidi was able to make that rough recording sound amazing, and not long after, the song was selected as the theme for the show. Pretty crazy that it was the first song we'd ever written together!

The song has over 350 million streams on YouTube and Spotify alone. When you were writing it, did you have any sense it would take off the way it did?

We had no idea. We hoped the show would be a success, but what transpired went way beyond our imagination. Paw Patrol has become a part of the culture. It's been crazy to hear the song get mentioned (and sung) by the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Ryan Reynolds, and Jimmy Kimmel and super fun to watch kids sing along at the Paw Patrol Live shows. Ultimately, we're incredibly grateful to be along for the ride.

What's the secret sauce? Is there an actual songwriting formula for making something this catchy for kids, or is it more of an art than a science?

If there is a secret sauce, we'd love to know! Honestly, the music business comes with far more rejections than celebrations. Sure, we're trying to write something catchy, but you never know how people will respond. So if there is a secret, maybe it's giving it your best, writing something that you love and get excited about, and then putting it out there. And doing it again and again. We don't get to control the outcome, but we enjoy the process.

Between the two of you, you've got more than 25 #1s and have written for artists like Sia, Charli XCX, and Bebe Rexha. How different is the creative process when you're writing for a pop superstar versus writing for a preschool audience?

For us, it's always been about serving the artist or show. Listening to their vision and then doing our best to come alongside and support that vision. So the topics and word choices may change, but we're always trying to create something memorable and great.

You've also contributed to shows like Blaze and the Monster Machines, Baby Shark, and Dora and Friends. What draws you to children's music, and what do you think people underestimate about the craft of writing it?

(Scott) I love the opportunity to make kids smile. A few years ago, I realized the impact that Mr. Rogers had on me when I was a child, and that helped me fully embrace this season of working on music for kids. As for the craft, we approach children's music the same way we do any genre we get to work in, by bringing our best every single time. I'm sure there are subtleties to the genre, and maybe we've learned some subconsciously, but we're just trying to write and produce songs that we like.

Let's talk about the new project. "It's Cool To Be A Kid" drops June 12. What's the vision behind the album, and how is it different from your previous work?

The vision behind this record is to celebrate the amazing things about being young. From splashing in puddles, to playing in the sandbox, to making fresh baked cookies, there's a lot to enjoy. So often when we're kids, we just want to be a little older. But if we're able to simply enjoy where we're at, life has so many fantastic gifts along the way. We're also hoping this album might be a gentle nudge for grownups to let the kid inside of them play a little more too.

The biggest difference on this project is that we were able to collaborate with other incredible artists. Grammy nominee Mega Ran brought his brilliance to two tracks, and PEABOD and Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (Fresh Beat Band) joined us with their brilliance for a song each. It was wonderful to work with such talented friends on this new album!

Is there a song on the new project you're especially excited for kids (and their parents) to hear?

(Scott) My personal favorite currently is "Gonna Make You Smile." I just want to sing along, and it really does make me smile every time I hear it. That said, one of the cool things about music is that it connects with everyone differently. So I'm excited to hear about the different ways the songs connect with people...whether it's to get pumped up, or be encouraged, or a reminder to be present in the moment, or eat popcorn.

What's next for Pep and Perk after the album release?

Right now, we're just going to celebrate this release and try to let as many people know about it as possible. There have been conversations about children's books, a small theme park show, and other exciting opportunities, but who knows. One thing's for sure… we have song titles and music ideas that will become new songs eventually. Stay tuned!!

A massive thank-you to Michael and Scott for taking time to chat with NickALive! and to The Mixtape PR for making it possible!

NEW YORK, NY – May 6th, 2026 – Rising producer and multi-instrumentalist Miles Bonham, known as Miles Music Kid, recently visited two elementary schools in the Bronx in partnership with non-profit Education Through Music. During the visit, he donated 1,000 ukuleles and three DJ decks, provided by The Guitar Center Music Foundation, to help expand access to music education for New York City students. Watch a video of Miles’ school visit HERE.


I’m so lucky that I have instruments around my house, and I could just play them whenever I want. But some people don’t have that even though they love music just as much as I do. I’m really happy knowing that we are giving these kids all of this musical gear so they can have something to go to whenever they feel like they want to express themselves through music,” said Miles Bonham.

During the visit, Miles spent time with students, as he performed a song on the guitar for them and produced a song using their voices and different sounds in the classroom. The donation of ukuleles and DJ equipment introduces foundational tools and gives students new ways to explore creativity and self-expression.

Education Through Music is committed to making sure every child has access to music as part of their education, and moments like this truly bring that mission to life.

“Experiences like this show just how powerful music education can be in a child’s life,” said Dr. Janice Weinman, CEO of Education Through Music. “When students are given the opportunity to create, perform, and connect through music, it not only sparks joy but also builds confidence, collaboration, and a sense of belonging. We are incredibly grateful to Miles, Republic Records, and the Guitar Center Music Foundation for helping us expand access to these transformative experiences for our partner school students.”
