"Baby Baby" is a 1991 single by Christian Music singer Amy Grant . It was released as the first single from the '' Heart In Motion '' album. BACKGROUND During the 1980s, Amy Grant was a very popular Christian singer. In 1985 , however, she made a successful attempt to cross over onto mainstream charts. She achieved this with the Top 40 album '' Unguarded '' and the Top 40 single " Find A Way ." ''Unguarded'' became her second most successful album up to that point, and it was her fastest-selling. But soon after, her marriage began to strain, and she took time off from recording to work things out and start a family. In 1988 she returned to music with the album '' Lead Me On ''. It was well-received critically, and it was a success with the Christian music market as well. But in terms of pop music, it was a commercial failure. The three singles released to mainstream radio from the album performed poorly, and the album itself only reached #71 on the Billboard 200 album chart. So in 1989 , Grant began writing songs for a pop album. It was completed the following year, and the lead-off single from the album, "Baby Baby," was released in February 1991 . CHART SUCCESS "Baby Baby," which was originally written for Grant's six-month old daughter Millie, was an enormous success on secular charts, reaching the top spot on both the pop and adult contemporary charts, and was also a Top 40 dance hit. It was her first (and last) Top Ten single in Britain, where it reached #2. Like ''Unguarded'' six years before, however, the album put off her longtime Christian fans for "crossing over." Despite this, "Baby Baby" went on to become her most successful single and one of the most successful singles of 1991 . TRIVIA The song was covered by The Swirling Eddies in 1996 on their CD '' Sacred Cows ''. CHARTS Single - Billboard (North America) Single - UK Singles Chart |
