"Rock Baby Rock" is a song by Filipino disco group VST & Company, written by Vic Sotto. It is part of a medley called "VST Concerto in A Minor" on the album VST 3. It was one of the group's biggest hits produced by the band themselves.[1] Sotto said in an interview on PTV's Xiao Time segment that it was his most favorite VST song because he put a lot of effort into it.[3]

The film of the same name was named after this song, starring Vilma Santos, Rolly Quizon, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon and VST & Company themselves.[4]

During Eat Bulaga!s show in Toronto, Canada on 12 April 2014, Joey de Leon performed the song until the rest of the hosts on the show joined him including Tito and Vic Sotto.[5] It was also performed by the reunited VST & Co. (except Val and Vic Sotto) during a tribute to Snaffu Rigor on August 8, 2016.
