Justin Bieber's "Baby" Music Video Review

Justin Bieber's "Baby" Music Video Review

"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 labelmate, rapper Ludacris, who lends his vocal on the hook. You can check out the Baby Lyrics here.

The video follows the young pop star as he tries to impress his love interest played by Jasmine Villegas. "It starts off, I really like this girl, but we didn't [get] along; we couldn't be together," Bieber said. "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."

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. It was filmed at Universal CityWalk by director Ray Kay, who had previously directed videos for Beyoncé Knowles, Lady Gaga, and Alexandra Burke, among others.

The video features several cameos such as Young Money artists Canadian rapper Drake, and Lil Twist alongside Tinashe Kachingwe and jerkin' crew, The Rangers. The video takes place in a mall-like setting with a bowling alley, but there are also scenes of Bieber in other settings, hanging out with Luda, doing the moonwalk, messing with his hair and mugging for the camera. Regardless of his lady's apparent frustration with him, Bieber eventually wins her over. The video concludes with the pair walking off into the night holding hands.

Justin previously said that the video is inspired by Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel". "We're kind of going off of Michael Jackson's 'The Way You make Me Feel' where he's trying to get the girl's attention and following her around," he said.
