The video shows Cooper’s face as her husband asks Alexa to play a song “for just two people that are in love.” Alexa obliges, playing the song “All of Me” by John Legend, which begins with the iconic—and apt—lyrics, “What would I do without your smart mouth?”
Viewers in the comments loved the method of conflict resolution, praising Alexa for its timely song choice, and sharing that the video’s sound triggered their own Alexa to respond as well.
“Oh my God, my Alexa heard this and started playing music,” @peter_padelsky wrote. “I hate technology!”
“Alexa picked the perfect song too, she must’ve been listening to you two,” @sknef wrote.
“I will be single till the day I die until I find my person who can make me laugh like this,” @ashleybautista6 wrote.
Others shared their own hilarious stories of post-disagreement reconciliation. “I gave my husband a shirt a couple years ago with my face all over it and whenever he’s ‘in the dog house’ he comes out wearing it,” @marinhanagan wrote. “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
“One time, I was mad and tried to sleep on the couch, and my fiancé grab a blanket and pillow and got comfy in the recliner,” @kayyymarie69 wrote.

In the video mentioned, TikTok user Annie (@annielace73) revealed her and her partner’s own unique method for diffusing tension during conflict: wearing party hats.
“It makes it really hard to stay mad,” Annie captioned the video.
Rachel Goldberg, a licensed marriage and family therapist, previously told Regalrumination.com regarding the video that can be healthy for relationships—but it’s always important to read the room.
“It’s important to acknowledge that there may be instances where trying to bring humor into a disagreement isn’t helpful,” Goldberg added. “In such cases, it could come across as insensitive and may not be received well or backfire.”
Ultimately, the best approach is one that both partners are on board with in a “sustainable” way, she said. “Putting on party hats is a clever way to diffuse a conflict, as long as .”
