"Baby" is a song by American recording artist Angie Stone. It was written by Stone along with Corey "Co-T" Tatum and Kevin "5 Star" Norton for her fourth studio album, The Art of Love & War (2007), while production was helmed by Tatum and Noton 5 Star. The song is built around a sample of "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)" by Curtis Mayfield. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Mayfield is also credited as a songwriter. It served as the album's first single as well as Stone's debut released with Stax Records. "Baby" became her second song to reach the top of Billboards Adult R&B Songs in the United States.
A music video for "Baby" was directed by Maeyen A. Bassey.[1] It features comedian Mike Epps as Stone's love interest, while Eva Pigford appears as a movie starlet.[1] Singer Raz-B makes a cameo appearance in the clip.[1]
