In an interview with Billboard prior to the film’s theatrical debut, Lohan shared that “Baby” carries special significance for her as a mother. The song’s emotional weight deepened for her after becoming a parent to her 2-year-old son, Luai. She reflected,
“I think now, because I have the song ‘Baby’ and I’m a mom, it almost still felt like I was really Anna — because I have a kid now,”
Lindsay Lohan said.
“So that also hit home. When I was singing it, I started crying because I was thinking about my son being a teenager. It was making me like, [sobbing] ‘Oh my god.’”
