"What's Going On?" is an original Doc McStuffins song. It normally appears in stories in which "Time for Your Checkup" is not performed, beginning in the show's second season. This song is usually sung if a character notices another character acting different in a negative way, like if the character on the receiving end is acting excessively scared when they were previously very brave (e.g. Like in "Think Pink", Chilly was afraid to show Doc himself pink or in "Gooooooal!", Sir Kirby was afraid to tell Doc about his hurt arm), acting less competent, seeming sad, seeming tongue-tied, acting like they want to hide (and that is not normal), (e.g. Like in "Top Lamb", after Lambie played with the new kitchen set and injured herself, she hid it from Doc.), acting like they want to tell a lie (e.g. like in "Chilly and the Dude" and "Nurse's Office" Chilly tries to lie on Doc), or not wanting to do something they ordinarily really like (e.g. Doc not wanting to fix a toy or Lambie not wanting to cuddle and wanting to quit working at the Nursery at the Toy Hospital or Moo-Moo not wanting to do ballet).
The song itself consists of a greeting (Hey), a general inquiry of what is happening (what's going on), an inquiry of what bad thing might be happening (Tell me/us what's wrong/Tell me/us what's bothering you), a reassurance (You're gonna be fine/ I know there's something we/I can do), An instruction to reveal anything hidden (Got something on your mind don't you keep it inside) and a note on the possibility of them not knowing what is wrong (It might not be clear and that's why I'm/we're here).

Trivia
Doc sings this song in most episodes. In some episodes other characters sing it.
Doc's performance in "Top Lamb" is much more muted and gentle than normal, to try to comfort Lambie, and that's the beginning of that version of that song for some more certain episodes.
In "Runaway Love", Lambie stopped the song by telling Doc that there was no time for a song.
Oddly enough some episodes may have the song performed even if some toys had something that make them hurt or affect how they felt, but some hide the boo boo from Doc until she sings the song, and "I Feel Better" wasn't performed. Like in "Moo-Moo's Tutu Boo Boo", when Moo-Moo accidentally got ripped, she didn't want to tell Doc why she didn't want to do Ballet anymore.
In Season 2, the song was performed in 15 episodes. In Season 3, it was performed 15 episodes too. But in Season 4, it was performed in 5 episodes.
Although in episodes where "Time for Your Checkup" wasn't performed because of this song, it was still performed in its sister episode like in "Think Pink", "What's Going On" was performed, and in "You Foose, You Lose", "Time for Your Checkup" was performed.
