Gorillaz merilis single bertajuk 'Baby Queen' pada 4 November 2022 lalu. Lagu tersebut merupakan preview terbaru dari album baru mereka, yang mana sebelumnya mereka merilis Cracker Island (ft. Thundercat) dan New Gold (ft. Tame Impala & Bootie Brown).
Melansir Los Angeles Times, Damon Albarn membeberkan asal-usul dari pembuatan single tersebut.
"Alasan gue nulis lagu tentang itu adalah karena gue mimpi tentang princess itu baru-baru ini; dia udah dewasa dan kita ngabisin waktu bersama dalam mimpi gue, yang mana bisa dibilang dia itu sebagai wanita,” pungkas Albarn.
Langsung kepoin aja lirik lagu Baby Queen - Gorillaz.
[Verse 1: 2-D]
I met the princess from Thailand again
She had grown up
Into a queen
Down in the abyss where the night
Never turns to daylight
She kept me in a Polaroid
That was pinned up on her wall
Under Garuda's mirror lights
She takes flight
Yeah the kid's alright
[Chorus: 2-D]
You've grown up
Baby Queen
You've grown up
Baby Queen (You've grown up)
[Verse 2: 2-D]
She fell into the generals (Oh, Baby Queen)
On the watch all around her
I fell into the vanity
The mirrored lights of our dreams
[Chorus: 2-D]
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, drеams)
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams wherе you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
(Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
You've grown up (Baby Queen)
In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams)
[Outro: 2-D]
Baby Queen
You were in my dreams
