The hit song Old Town Road is more than just a catchy tune, it helped one nonverbal autistic boy utter some new words.
It was a miracle for four-year-old Daniel Brundidge of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, who has only said about four words in his life.
The adorable boy loves the song by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which has been sitting at the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 for nine weeks running, and was jamming with his mom when he sang 'old town road' along with the chorus.
'We had an #oldtownroad miracle at my house. My son Daniel has #autism and doesn't talk. We caught him humming the @LilNasX and @billyraycyrus tune the other day. Then Bless God, my baby started singing the song on his own. His therapists have started to use it in his sessions!' his proud mom Sheletta Brundidge tweeted on Tuesday.
The video's gone viral racking up over 1.4million views.
