Changes: Baby Loves

Latest revision as of 22:46, 14 April 2024

"Baby Loves" (also known as "Intro") is an unreleased song which was intended to be the first song of Ariana Grande's third studio album, Dangerous Woman, at the time titled Moonlight. It was later used as an interlude during the Dangerous Woman Tour.

Background

On May 16, 2015, Grande posted a picture on Instagram with the caption "baby loves, I'm tryna talk to you 💭".^[2] Two weeks later, she tweeted more lyrics from the song ("there's a boy and I don't quite know what to do").^[3] Grande confirmed that the lyrics were for the intro song of her third album, tilted Moonlight at the time, not from the song "Moonlight" as fans thought.^[4] However, the song was not present when Grande revealed the tracklist for Dangerous Woman.

The song was eventually used as an interlude on the Dangerous Woman Tour on February 3, 2017, in Phoenix, Arizona. The official studio version of the song was used in the second episode in the Dangerous Woman Diaries docuseries.

On May 27, 2019, the official studio version of the song was posted on YouTube after being widespread by a user on Instagram, who discovered it on Vimeo from 'Big Noise Films'. This version has better quality, including "Let Me Love You", a strings intersection, with the visuals for both songs in HD.

The third demo leaked on January 3, 2024, along with several other unreleased songs and sessions.

The full sessions leaked on January 22, 2024, alongside various other unreleased sessions.

Lyrics

[Interlude]
Baby loves, I'm tryna to talk to you
There's a boy and I don't quite know what to do
Good things come to those who wait
But patience ain't my thing
The way he holds me shows me he's the one
For sure the one
Think I'd rather wait for him, forever
Instead of having him, just for now
At night, just when I look up at the moon
I wonder if he's lookin' at it too
And I don't know what to do
