‘When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go!’: CoComelon Is Back With a New Potty-Training Anthem

For every milestone in a kid’s life, there’s a CoComelon song — and now parents have a brand-new potty-training anthem to add to their toolkit, premiering exclusively on Billboard Family.

As part of the “CoComelon Can Help” campaign, an animated video for “When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go!” hits CoComelon’s YouTube page on Tuesday (June 9) to help steer kids and caregivers alike through the often trying times of potty training.

JJ, the face of countless CoComelon clips, stars in the video as he figures out what to do when that moment strikes.

“I gotta go, go/ Oh no/ When you gotta go, you gotta go!” J.J. sings in the instantly familiar CoComelon tune. “Trying something new can be hard/ And being brave is such a good start/ So come on, come on, it’s time to be smart/ ‘Cause when you gotta go, you gotta go!”

In addition to the new song, CoComelon has also curated a Potty Time Songs playlist, filled with a lineup of previous CoComelon potty tunes, as well as a YouTube playlist of potty-training videos, in which JJ and his toddler buddies model real-life scenarios that kids run into when they’re potty training.

Finally, for families in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville, the Gotta Go Zone! tour is heading your way, with CoComelon Gotta Go Zones that include a family restroom designed for little ones with step stools, a soap bar and sensory play. There will also be music, kid activities, face painting, giveaways, snacks and character meet-and-greets. (You can RSVP for the events here.)
