8-year-old singing Alicia Keys' 'Girl on Fire' while doing chores goes viral
A little girl singing a rendition of Alicia Keys' song "Girl on Fire" is wowing millions on social media.
Tom Coverly was filming as his daughter Anni, 8, sang her rendition while cleaning her family pool. Coverly posted the video onto TikTok and it has now been viewed by 9 million people.
Coverly told "Good Morning America" that his wife, Tiffany Coverly, is a singer and they had no idea Anni had the same talent until he witnessed it recently.
"She just belted out that chorus," said Coverly, of Pensacola, Florida. "And then she's singing it with the passion she was singing it with. It just blew me away."
Coverly, a motivational speaker, said he often features Anni on his TikTok to teach life lessons and advocate bullying and suicide prevention. This time, he shared the video of Anni singing.
Even Keys commented on the video, praising Anni for her skills in covering her popular song writing, "I love this!!! Sing Mama!!! You are amazing!! And you ARE on fire!!!!"
"It's been the biggest boost of confidence for her," Coverly said of his child. "It's just been beautiful."
When Anni isn't singing, she enjoys riding her bicycle and going to the beach, her dad said.
