It’s been a big week for Peppa Pig, who has just become a big sister to a new baby piglet named Evie.
Now, the beloved cartoon star has released a new song in tribute to her little sister — simply titled Evie! — which is available on Spotify and YouTube.
Spotify has even shared a behind-the-scenes video of Peppa in the studio working on the track.
For those unfamiliar with Peppa’s musical side, this isn’t her first foray into music — she’s already released four albums.
The new single follows a huge PR week for the popular cartoon pig.
The cartoon family welcomed a little one earlier this week - a baby sister to Peppa, four, George, two - at London’s Lindo Wing, the same luxury maternity ward where the Princess of Wales gave birth to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Yesterday, Mummy and Daddy Pig spoke about the arrival to Hello Magazine, revealing that the birth took eight hours.
“We were very lucky – everything went smoothly and in eight, um, ‘short’ hours of labour Evie was here,” Mummy Pig said.
“Mummy pig was AMAZING, and she brought our new baby girl into the world,” Daddy Pig added.
“What a miracle that is!”
On Tuesday morning’s Good Morning Britain, it was revealed that Mummy Pig welcomed a daughter named Evie, marking the first new addition to the animated family since Peppa’s younger brother George was introduced 20 years ago.
“I don't think either of us ever had a specific plan – but we just got to that place where timing felt right,” Mummy Pig told Hello about adding to their brood.
Daddy Pig agreed, adding: “And everything fell into place. We're very lucky to be able to grow our family.”
In the interview, the pigs also revealed baby Evie was named after Mummy Pig’s great aunt.
The birth announcement follows weeks of carefully orchestrated build-up, beginning with Mummy Pig’s surprise pregnancy revelation live on GMB back in February.
The excitement reached fever pitch last month during a pink-themed gender reveal celebration at London’s Battersea Power Station, where the famous chimneys lit up in honour of the new baby girl.
According to GMB, Evie arrived at 5:34am in the exclusive Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
In keeping with the royal theme, the birth was announced with a town crier, scroll-style proclamation and a Peppa-branded birth certificate.
