Heads were turned when Nottingham Forest paid £42.5m for Morgan Gibbs-White in 2022, but it's fair to say that the East Midlands club have been vindicated in splashing the cash on the midfielder.
It didn't take long for Gibbs-White to become a fan favourite at the City Ground, with his ability to drive through the pitch with the ball going down a treat with Forest fans.
The Morgan Gibbs-White chant has become one of the most popular football chants sung by Nottingham Forest fans in recent years. To learn more about it, including the lyrics and tune, keep reading.
Morgan Gibbs-White chant lyrics and tune
The Morgan Gibbs-White chant is sung to the tune of ‘Heaven Is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle. The lyrics are as follows:
Oh, baby, do you know what's worth

He's taking Forest to the Champions League
Morgan Gibbs-White chant background
The Morgan Gibbs-White chant was first sung during the 2022/23 season, long before the club were even in the conversation for returning to the Champions League.
However, it became increasingly popular during the 2024/25 season, when the former Wolves man was having the season of his life in Red and White.

Gibbs-White was the talisman behind Forest's surge up the table, and for a long time, it looked as if his performances were going to lead the club back into the Champions League, as the song references.
In the end, Forest had to settle for a place in the Europa League, but if Gibbs-White can lead the club to glory in that competition, then this chant could easily be adapted to work around that triumph – ‘He won Forest the Europa League'
