On July 22, 2013, Ariana Grande released her second single for her debut album Yours Truly. The song was written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds along with Antonio Dixon. Fun fact: Baby I was originally written for singer Beyonce. Baby I is an R&B and pop with elements of drums, horns and a syncopated beat. Music critics praised the song itself for going "throwback" while saying that Grande's vocals reminds them of Mariah Carey. The song is about not being able to fully express your feelings towards someone you love. I remembered when I first listened to Baby I on Ariana's YouTube channel. The song was so good and I loved how Ariana used her whistle tones towards the end of the track.
Also, I watched the lyric video for the song as well. You can watch the lyric video below:
But then, when Grande released the music video for Baby I on September 6, 2013, I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing that day. I felt like I was in the 1990s with Ariana Grande with the clothes, the colors and the singing and dancing in the streets of New York City. I was so proud for Ariana bringing the 90s back to life in 2013. If anybody can time travel to the 90s again and still make it look good, it's Ariana Grande. You can watch the music video below:
Baby I along with the 90s inspired album Yours Truly to match it, really made me an Arianator for life. If it wasn't for Ariana having so much success musically in 2013, I wouldn't still be here talking about my favorite singer and how much I love her. To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Baby I, listen to it on Google Play, Amazon Music, iTunes and Spotify:
