When asked how the collaboration initially came about , Bieber said , `` ( Ludacris and I ) both live in Atlanta . I met him a year prior to this and we figured it was a perfect collaboration for him , so we invited him out to do it . '' Bieber first premiered the song performing on MuchMusic on December 28 , 2009 . A few days before the release of the single , Bieber posted an acoustic version of the song to his YouTube with his guitarist Dan Kanterr , similar to the way he did with `` Favorite Girl '' . Billboard said that : `` Bieber delivers his characteristically clean vocals with conviction : `` My first love broke my heart for the first time / and I 'm like , ' baby , baby , baby , no ! ' I thought you 'd always be mine . '' Also in a review of the acoustic version Bill Lamb of About.com said that `` I think the vocals here will convince some that Justin Bieber really does have the vocal chops . '' Style and composition `` Baby '' A sample of `` Baby '' featuring Bieber singing the chorus and repetitive hook Problems playing this file ? See media help . The song is predominantly upbeat , featuring Bieber 's R&B vocals over a backdrop containing a dance infused beat , full of keyboard and `` disco string '' synths . The song is composed in the key of E ♭ major with Bieber 's vocal range spanning from the low - note of G to the high - note of C. According to Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone , the song `` blends winks at Fifties doo - wop with hip - hop chants '' , comparing the style and the lyrics `` My first love broke my heart for the first time / And I was like / Baby , baby , baby , ooooh / I thought you 'd always be mine '' to fifties ballads like `` Tears on My Pillow '' , `` Why Do Fools Fall in Love '' and `` Earth Angel '' . Lyrically , Bieber 's lines explain his distress over his lost love , and promise to get it back , featured in lines like , `` And I wan na play it cool / But I 'm losin ' you ... / I 'm in pieces / So come and fix me ... '' . The chorus features the distinct and repetitive `` baby , baby , baby , ohhhh ( nooooo ) '' hook . After the second verse , Ludacris comes in with the verse - rap , an anecdote of young love when he was thirteen , as it runs `` When I was 13 / I had my first love / She had me going crazy / Oh , I was star - struck / She woke me up daily / Do n't need no Starbucks ... '' . A famous section of the song plays `` Baby , Baby baby oh . Like baby , baby baby oh '' . It is the catchphrase of the song that identifies the song . Critical reception Nick Levine of Digital Spy felt the song was `` no great departure from what he 's given us before '' , but felt the production of Tricky and The - Dream helped give the song a `` simple '' , `` big '' chorus about `` puppy love '' that works . Melanie Bertoldi of Billboard said , `` The midtempo number 's undeniably contagious chorus should keep Bieber 's tween fan base satisfied , and Ludacris ' brief cameo adds a welcome urban twist . '' Bertoli went on to say , `` The matchup adds a layer of maturity to Bieber 's repertoire and should further solidify his growing presence on the charts . '' Rap - Up magazine said that `` the sweet pop fare gets a little street cred courtesy of the teen sensation 's labelmate Ludacris . '' Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone appreciated the song 's vintage doo - wop and fifties aesthetic and hip - hop chants , and said the song included `` one of the catchiest choruses concocted by the - Dream and Tricky Stewart , the duo behind `` Umbrella '' and `` Single Ladies . '' Luke O'Neill of Boston Globe had mixed thoughts about the song calling Ludacris ' cameo `` goofy '' , and said , the song `` effects a musical anachronism , albeit a catchy one , but in this sped - up recycling moment all styles all at once are grist for the mill . '' Chart performance In the United States , `` Baby '' debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 , becoming Bieber 's highest charting single in the US . Bieber then went on to surpass this chart position when `` Boyfriend '' debuted at number two in April 2012 . The song was also Ludacris 's biggest song to date , solo or featuring , since 2007 's `` Glamorous '' . `` Baby '' was beaten out as the week 's highest debut by Taylor Swift 's `` Today Was a Fairytale '' , which debuted at number two . The debuting of the pair of songs was just the third time in history that the Hot 100 had two new top - five debuts . The instance had last happened in 2003 when American Idol 's Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken 's debut singles charted at number one and two . During its first week of radio impact , the song had over 1400 spins , and was the top gainer for mainstream and rhythmic radio formats . The song debuted at thirty - three on the Pop Songs chart on the week labeled February 13 , 2010 . The song missed out becoming the greatest gainer by one spot , which was Kesha 's `` Blah Blah Blah '' . However the following week , the song did collect greatest gainer recognition , jumping to twenty - five on the chart , and has since peaked at sixteen . On August 2 , 2010 , the song was certified double - platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of 2,000,000 units . As of May 2013 , the song has sold 3.9 million digital downloads in the United States . With the inclusion of streaming in the RIAA certifications in 2013 , the song became the highest certificated single of all time with 12XPlatinum ( passing `` Candle in the Wind 1997 '' by Elton John with 11XPlatinum ) . `` Baby '' debuted and peaked on the Canadian Hot 100 at number three , becoming his highest charting single at the time . On the issue dated February 8 , 2010 , the song debuted in Australia on the official ARIA Singles Chart at number thirty - seven . After twelve weeks of ascending and descending the charts the single reached a peak of three . `` Baby '' has since been certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association ( ARIA ) for shipments of 70,000 units . In New Zealand , the song entered the chart at nineteen . After weeks of ascending and descending the charts , `` Baby '' reached a peak of four . The song dropped to the number five position the following week and after weeks of fluctuating around the chart it attained the number four position once again . It has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand ( RIANZ ) . The song peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart on the issue date March 14 , 2010 . The following week , `` Baby '' fell to number four , but climbed back to its previous peak position of three on the issue date March 28 , 2010 . In the process of climbing the charts , `` Baby '' gained a new peak of two on the R&B Singles Chart . As of June 2012 , Baby has sold 442,432 copies in the United Kingdom . Music video Filming for the music video began during the week of January 25 , 2010 , in Los Angeles . It was filmed at Universal CityWalk by director Ray Kay , who had previously directed videos for Beyoncé Knowles , Lady Gaga , Alexandra Burke , and Cheryl Cole , among others . Ludacris said that the video `` is like a 2010 version of Michael Jackson 's `` The Way You Make Me Feel '' . '' Bieber said that the video `` will capture the song 's message of trying to woo back a girl . '' In explaining the concept of the video , Bieber said , `` It starts off , I really like this girl , but we did n't ( get ) along ; we could n't be together . 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 . '' The video premiered exclusively on Vevo on Friday , February 19 , 2010 . Singer and actress Jasmine Villegas portrays Bieber 's love interest in the video . Bieber 's friends , Young Money artists Drake and Lil Twist also appeared in the video , along with Tinashe and jerkin ' crew The Rangers . The video takes place in a mall - like setting with a bowling alley and more . After the video was released , MTV commented on the video being the new version of `` The Way You Make Me Feel '' saying , `` ... and the choreography does use a few of Jackson 's less - suggestive moves . '' The MTV review goes on saying , `` most of the video takes place in the bowling alley , 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 . '' Billboard reviewed the video , saying , `` Those new dance moves he 's showing off can only mean one thing : all over the world , tweens ' hearts are melting right now . '' In July 2010 , the video became the most viewed video in YouTube history until it was surpassed by Psy 's hit single , `` Gangnam Style '' , in November 2012 . On March 5 , 2014 , `` Baby '' became the second video , after `` Gangnam Style '' , to receive 1 billion views on YouTube , and is the 24th most viewed video on the site , with over 1.8 billion views as of April 2018 . Despite this , the video has more dislikes than it has likes . Although the song has received over 8.7 million likes , the song has received over 8.9 million dislikes .
