The Butterfly Song is an acoustic song that Ally Dawson wrote in kindergarten. It was originally featured in the episode Bloggers & Butterflies. This was the first song she had ever written, and was the song that made her decide she wanted to become a songwriter. Ally wrote this song for the spring pageant, because the theme was insects. Ally's classmate Tilly Thompson hated this song because she wrote "The Ladybug Song", which wasn't picked because it didn't rhyme and had lyrics that were irrelevant to Ladybugs. Austin later performed the Butterfly song at the Mall of Miami, when Tilly tried to make her sing the song in a failed attempt to use her stage fright against her for revenge. Most of the lyrics to the song weren't shown when Little Ally performed the song.
Off screen, the song was written by Heath Seifert and Kevin Kopelow.
Lyrics[]
I'm a little butterfly
Spread my colorful wings
Even though I'm small and frail
I can do most
Anything
Caterpillar in my cocoon
I'm gonna be
A butterfly soon
I'm a little butterfly
I can soar through the sky
So glad I ended up like this
Thanks to metamorphosis
I'm a butterfly
I'm a butterfly
Yeah
I'm a butterfly
