Why so many songs use the word baby

Baby has been a term of affection in American English for about a century, and it fits naturally into a melody: two short syllables that are easy to sing and easy to rhyme. Blues singers of the 30s, doo-wop and Motown groups of the 60s and pop and R&B stars ever since have used it as shorthand for the person they love, which is why it appears in so many titles across every genre.

Ideas for using songs with baby in the title
