In 2018, the channel was officially named Cocomelon - Nursery Rhymes, following which it has grown internationally, with spinoff novels, Netflix TV series, merchandise, special events, and continuous product diversification.

The YouTube channel has over 1,550 videos uploaded and almost 193 million members as of May 2025. With this remarkable number of subscribers, it is now the third most-subscribed YouTube channel worldwide, behind MrBeast and T-Series.

The content design of this children's animation prioritizes optimism and safety. An environment for kids to study and develop is created by the tales' emphasis on cooperation and kindness. While the content has received accolades for its educational value and captivating material, its fast-paced editing and repetitive music have led some parents and experts to express concern about possible overstimulation.
