The original music video for 'Baby Shark' ( Korean: 상어 가족 RR: Sang-eo Gajok lit. shark family) was uploaded on November 26, 2015. 'Baby Shark' was greatly popularized by a version of the song produced by Pinkfong, an education brand owned by South Korean entertainment company SmartStudy. This version was released in 2011, five years before the Pinkfong version of 'Baby Shark' became a global phenomenon. He saw how engaged and animated the campers were when 'Baby Shark' was performed, so when he became a full-time children's entertainer, he released his own version.

Johnny Only, a children's entertainer based in Upstate New York, was a DJ at a kids camp and the counselors would regularly perform the song with their campers. The German version of the song remains popular among German youth groups and multiple variations (also in different dialects of German) have been published. The single peaked at 25th in the German charts and at 21 in the Austrian charts. The video quickly gained popularity and led to EMI offering Alemuel a record deal. This version is set to the theme of Jaws and tells the story of a baby shark who grows up and eats a swimmer. Alemuel version Ī dance version of 'Baby Shark' was popularized in the 2007 YouTube video 'Kleiner Hai' ( German for Little Shark) published by Alexandra Müller, also known by her stage name Alemuel. However, according to The New York Times, the underlying song and characters are believed to be in the public domain.

Various entities have copyrighted original videos and sound recordings of the song, and some have trademarked merchandise based on their versions. Different versions of the song have the sharks hunting fish, eating a sailor, or killing people who then go to heaven. In the chant, each member of a family of sharks is introduced, with campers using their hands to imitate the sharks' jaws. The original song dates back to at least the 20th century, potentially created by camp counselors inspired by the movie Jaws. 'Baby Shark' originated as a campfire song or chant. 2018 photo of a four-year-old boy doing the 'Baby Shark' dance during his birthday.
