(Ohh wooaahhh) x3

You know you love me

Just shout whenever,

And we would never, ever, ever be apart

Are we an item?
Girl quit playin'

What are you sayin'?
Say there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love, broke my heart for the first time

And I was like
Baby, baby, baby ooh

Baby, baby, baby noo

Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby ohh

Baby, baby, baby noo

Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I'm wanna play it cool
While I'm losin you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
Cause I'm in pieces
Baby fix me
And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream
I'm goin down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around

And I'm like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I'm like
Baby, baby, baby noo
I'm like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby ohh

Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

(Ludacris)
When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody compared to my baby
And nobody came between us, no one could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was star-struck,
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks
She made my heart pound, I skip a beat when I see her in the street
And at school on the playground but I really wanna see her on the weekend
She knows she got me dazing cuz she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying...

Baby, baby, baby ohh
I'm like
Baby, baby, baby noo
I'm like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby ohhh
Like
Baby, baby, baby, noo
Like
Baby, baby, bay ohh
I though you'd always be mine (mine)

Yeahh, yeah, yeah
Yeahh, yeah, yeah
Yeahh, yeah, yeah
Yeahh, yeah, yeah
Yeahh, yeah, yeah
Now I'm all gone, gone, gone, gone
I'm gonee

The "Crawl" features Brown pensively singing about a relationship that has slipped out of his hands. "When I heard the whole concept and everything I was like, 'Yo, this is crazy," Brown said about the track. He also said that it could be the best record he's ever done. It is also speculated that the song could be referring to Brown's failed relationship with Rihanna, though Brown has confirmed that the track isn't just about her but has more of a universal message. The song premiered at U.S. radio on October 21, 2009. The song became available as a Digital Download on November 24, 2009. It was officially sent to U.S. radio on December 8, 2009.

The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who also worked with Brown on the I Can Transform Ya and Forever videos. He predicted the visuals to "Crawl" will make as much of an impact as the song.

The video for "Crawl" features R&B artist and model Cassie. The video premiered on the Wendy Williams Show on Friday, November 13, 2009.

Justine Bieber - Baby featuring Ludacris

"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" who worked with Bieber on "One Time" and also by R&B singer Christina Milian and rapper Ludacris. The song was available for digital download on January 18, 2010. The song received airplay directly after release, the song officially impacted mainstream and rhythmic radio on January 26, 2010.

The "Baby" composition is predominatly upbeat, featuring Bieber’s R&B vocals over a dance beat, full of keyboard and synths. Lyrically, Bieber’s lines explain his distress over his lost love, and promise to get it back, featured in lines like, “And I wanna play it cool/ But I'm losin' you…/I'm in pieces/ So come and fix me…” The chorus features the distinct and repetitive “Baby, Baby, Baby, Ohhhh (Nooooo)” hook. After the second verse, Ludacris comes in with the verse-rap, an anecdote of young love when he was thirteen, as it runs “When I was 13/ I had my first love/...She had me going crazy/ Oh, I was star-struck/ She woke me up daily/ Don't need no Starbucks…." Due to the rap verse, the song does not have a distinct and slower middle eight, which all of Bieber’s previous singles included. However, the acoustic rendition by Bieber himself did originally have a middle eight. The outro is reminiscent of the hook, with a repetitive “Yeah”, however with Bieber providing additional vocals with it.

Bieber premiered an acoustic verison of "Baby" on December 28, 2009 on MuchMusic, and it remains to be his only major performance of the song performed acoustically. During most live performances of the song, Bieber jerks during the end of the chorus. He sung the song on VH1's Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam, along with other performers Rihanna and Timbaland, and on CBS' The Early Show as a part of their Super Bowl programming. He performed the song the first time with Ludacris BET's SOS: Saving Ourselves - Help for Haiti Telethon, on February 6, 2009, which also aired on VH1, and MTV. During the chorus, he changed the lyrics to "Baby, baby, Haiti", to show support for the cause, and the reason everyone came together for the show.

In charts "Baby" debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, and number three on the Canadian Hot 100, becoming Bieber’s biggest hit to date. His previous peak was reaching sixteen and ten on the respective charts with “One Less Lonely Girl”. The song was also Ludacris’s biggest song to date, solo or featuring, since 2007’s "Runaway Love". Taylor Swift’s "Today Was a Fairytale" also debuted in the Hot 100 top five at number two. The debut of the pair of songs was just the third time in history that the Hot 100 had two new top five debuts. The instance had last happened in 2003 when American Idol’s Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken’s debut singles charted at number one and two. During its first week of radio impact, the song had over 1400 spins, and was the top gainer for mainstream and rhythmic radio formats. The song debuted at thirty-three on the Pop Songs chart on the week labeled February 13, 2009. The song missed out becoming the greatest gainer by one spot, which was Kesha's Blah Blah Blah. On the issue dated February 8, 2010, the song debuted in Australia on the official ARIA Singles Chart at number thirty-seven.

Filming for the music video began during the week of January 25, 2010, in Los Angeles during the week of the 52nd Grammy Awards, at which Bieber presented with Kesha. Bieber's friend, Canadian rapper Drake was also on set for the shoot, however did not make a cameo in the video. However Bieber did not rule out an appearance for him on the upcoming album. Ludacris said that the video "is like a 2010 version of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel". Bieber said that the video "will capture the song's message of trying to woo back a girl." In explaining the concept of the video, Bieber said, "It starts off, I really like this girl, but we didn't [get] along; we couldn't be together. Basically I want her back and [I'm] kind of going through the whole thing. I'm chasing her around, trying to get her, and she's kind of playing hard to get, but I'm persistent. I keep going."
