"Baby" is a song by Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber. It was released as the lead single from the latter half of Bieber's debut album,
My World 2.0. The track was written by Bieber with Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and Terius "The-Dream" Nash, both of whom worked with
Bieber on "One Time", and also by R&B singer Christina Milian and labelmate, rapper Ludacris.
It was available for digital download on January 18, 2010. The song received airplay directly after release, officially impacting mainstream
and rhythmic radio on January 26, 2010. The song is uptempo R&B, blending together dance-pop and hip-hop elements, while using
influences of doo-wop music. The song has received positive reviews from critics who complimented the song's effective lyrics and chorus,
and commended Ludacris' part and the song's ability to have an urban twist.
The song was a commercial success, peaking at number one in France and Scotland, and charting in the top ten of the United Kingdom,
Canada, the United States, Australia, Norway, Japan, Ireland, Hungary, Belgium (Flanders), Slovakia and New Zealand. The accompanying
music video takes place in a mall/bowling-alley setting. The video features several cameos such as Drake, Lil Twist and Tinashe, in which
Bieber chases after a girl. As of May 2013, the song has sold 3.9 million digital downloads in the United States.[1]
The official music video is the 26th most-viewed video all-time on YouTube, and is also, as of August 2018, the YouTube video with the most
dislikes.[2] It had been the most-viewed from July 12, 2010, when it surpassed the music video for "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga,
until November 24, 2012, when it was surpassed by the music video for "Gangnam Style" by Psy. Bieber performed the song several times,
including Saturday Night Live, and the ninth season of American Idol. Bieber also performed an acoustic rendition of the remix version with
Drake at the 2010 Juno Awards. The official remix in the United Kingdom features British hip-hop artist Chipmunk.
