Lyrics

VERSE 1:
When the form looks puzzling and you don’t know what to do
There’s a question mark beside you, waiting there for you
Three point three point five says help should always be around
Context-sensitive guidance when confusion can be found
Not just labels on their own, but explanations clear
Like a friend who whispers answers when the task’s not crystal clear

CHORUS:
We all make mistakes sometimes, that’s just being human
But with help that’s always there, we keep on moving
Click that little question mark or find the helping text
Triple A means no one’s left behind or feeling stressed

VERSE 2:
Think of job applications asking things you’ve never known
Or a format for your phone number that’s not clearly shown
Some might struggle more than others with the words they need to write
So we build in extra guidance, make the pathway bright
Spell check here and examples there, instructions at the start
Every helping feature plays its vital part

CHORUS:
We all make mistakes sometimes, that’s just being human
But with help that’s always there, we keep on moving
Click that little question mark or find the helping text
Triple A means no one’s left behind or feeling stressed

BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
From young to old, we all need help sometimes
A guiding hand to show us how to cross the lines
Three point three point five reminds us what to do
Build a web where help appears right when we need it to
So next time you’re designing, remember this refrain:
Context-sensitive help means no one works in vain
