Ella Bleu, the daughter of John Travolta and the late Kelly Preston, is honoring her mother’s memory in a special way. The 24-year-old shared the release of her new song, “Little Bird,” a heartfelt lullaby dedicated to Preston, four years after her passing. The music video features intimate, previously unseen footage of the Travolta family, showcasing moments from both their early years and more recent memories together.
In the emotional lyrics, Ella sings: “Little bird, don’t you cry / Would you stay awhile before I fly? / Close your eyes / Won’t you smile / Sing a lullaby, it’ll be alright / What do I say? / What is real? / When everybody tells me how to feel / What is mine? / How do I speak? / When every word is taken, chosen for me.”

Preston passed away in 2020 after a two-year battle with breast cancer. Her husband, actor John Travolta, shared the heartbreaking news in an Instagram post at the time. “With a heavy heart, I must let you know that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year fight with breast cancer,” Travolta wrote. “She fought bravely, with the love and support of so many,” he continued. “My family and I will always be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and to all the medical professionals and friends who stood by her side.”
Shortly after, Ella paid tribute to her “courageous” mother in a heartfelt post. “I have never known anyone as strong, beautiful, and loving as you,” she wrote at the time. “Anyone lucky enough to have been in your presence would agree that you had a glow and light that made everyone around you feel instantly happy.”
