Want Me

This song was the last single before the release of Baby Queen’s debut EP “Medicine".

Discussing her song “Buzzkill,” Baby Queen revealed her inspiration for the song, stating:

“But now there’s a song coming out at the end of the year that I think I’m never going to out-write — it’s about Jodie Comer from Killing Eve. And the day that ‘Buzzkill’ came out, we had this idea for a song that is coming out next year and I remember coming home from the studio that day and being like: ‘Fuck! It’s also a song about Jodie Comer’. I can’t fall in love with anyone else.”

In January of 2021, singer Courtney Love posted a video of Baby Queen performing on her Instagram, the caption including “‘Want Me’ immaculate. Shitty French accent has me laughing so hard..”

Speaking to DIY Mag in November 2020, Baby Queen said:

"I wrote ‘Want Me’ about an actor in one of my favourite television shows, which is kind of strange. I remember watching it and just thinking “here we go.” I hadn’t fancied somebody for about 2 years and I definitely don’t have the time for any sort of romantic relationship in my life right now, so it kind of suited me to have a stranger as the object of my affection. It became clear to me that I had to capitalise on the feeling and blow it out of proportion in my own mind, which is what this song does in a way, but there’s a part of me that defaults into a state of self-reflection and self-criticism as soon I fancy somebody. This song is about a childlike crush and an unrequited love. It’s also about my insecurities that seem to be exacerbated by those feelings. This song feels very adolescent to me, and it feels more like a conversation with myself. I love that the lyrics come across as a stream of consciousness. It’s a bit of a sonic tantrum really, especially towards the end when it starts to explode, I think it’s probably the closest thing we’ll get to a Baby Queen love song anytime soon."
