According to the band, “Baby Who” is about “not needing anyone or anything but yourself to be happy.”
They told Clash Music:
‘Baby Who’ holds a special place in all of our hearts. We call it our healer. For us it’s about overcoming anything in your life that’s holding you back and feeling independ...
[Verse 1]
Look for answers
I never used to wonder why
Search for loving
But that always comes in time
Make it look easy
Wish I didn’t have to try
Out with strangers
Used to take up all my nights
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you tell me if I’m right?
Is it worth your time?
You can try all day to change my mind
But I can’t do that
[Chorus]
I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
Baby who?
Now you want me bad
But I don’t want you back
Baby who?
[Verse 2]
Stay together
When it starts to fall apart
Nothing’s forever
It doesn’t have to break your heart
If you let it
Time will always do you right
For the moment
We can push this it aside
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you tell me if I’m right?
Is it worth your time?
You can try all day to change my mind
But I can’t do that
[Chorus]
But I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
Baby who?
Now you want me bad
But I don’t want you back
Baby who?
I ain’t good with names
If you don’t feel the same
Baby who?
'Cause I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
Baby who?
[Bridge]
You can dry your eyes if you like
You can take your time, you can take your time
Turn it all around if it don't feel right
You can dry your eyes if you like
You can take your time, you can take your time
Turn it all around if it don't feel right
Take all your time
Now you want me bad, I don't want you back
Baby who?
[Chorus]
Well, I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
Baby who?
You want me bad
But I don’t want you back
Baby who?
'Cause I ain’t good with names
And you don’t feel the same
Baby who?
'Cause I don’t need you now
I don’t need you now
Baby who?

When we wrote “Baby Who” we had just signed our first record deal. We were packed in this small room in Los Angeles with only a guitar and laptop. The energy was crazy and electric and we just felt really excited and empowered. “Baby Who” i...
