Lullabies with Love is the fifty-ninth album released by The Wiggles, and is the group's second album to be themed around lullabies after Go to Sleep Jeff. It was released on June 4, 2021, two days after the digital release of its accompanying video, which was later physically released in America and Australia on June 22nd and 23rd that year respectively.
The album was nominated for 2 ARIA Awards in 2021: Best Children's Album and Best Independent Children's Album or EP. It won the latter award, but lost the former to Bluey: The Album, a soundtrack album featuring songs from the first TV series of the Australian children's cartoon of the same name.

Trivia[]
- This was the first album since The Wiggles Go Bananas! to feature Dominic Lindsay as a songwriter, and the first since Rock & Roll Preschool to feature him as a musician.
- Former Wiggles member Jeff Fatt helped to co-write the song "Busy, Busy, So Much To Do".
- This was the first album to feature drummer/vocalist Lozz Benson as a musician and songwriter.
- This was the last album to feature Oliver Brian as a songwriter.
- Australian entertainer Jack Gatto performed as a musician on the album, and also co-wrote the song "They Say Scrumptious".
- "Take a Trip Out on the Sea" and "Sleep, Little Baby" were recycled from Go To Sleep Jeff!, and had also been used in the first series of the Emma! television show.
- This was the first album to be solely produced by Anthony Field since Dance Dance!.
- The album was dedicated to the late Brendan Nikolajew, who is credited for writing all 16 of the new songs (as seen in the credits of the album's accompanying video). Brendan was fighting terminal cancer, and in order to help financially support him and his family, Anthony Field replaced his name in the songwriting credits with Nikolajew's, allowing him to collect songwriting royalties.[2]
