Background

Ari first started recording Babydoll in 2021, when her best friend, Thomas LaRosa, asked her if she wanted to make a song.[2] She reluctantly agreed, and recorded it. Later, they made the sped up version of Babydoll, which grew traction and blew up. Her co-writers, Isabel LaRosa, Thomas, and herself finished the song and released it in February 2022.[2]

Music videos

There are two videos released along with the song. One lyric video and one music video for the sped up version of the song.[3][4]
