Songfacts®:

• "Bbycakes" is a collaboration between Mura Masa and American rapper Lil Uzi Vert, British singer-songwriter PinkPantheress, and British rapper Shygirl.
  
  The song starts with Shygirl's chorus, which interpolates the hook of 3 Of A Kind's "Baby Cakes." The British garage trio based their lyric on the TV film Babycakes, in which an overweight girl pursues and wins her love interest.
• Lil Uzi Vert and PinkPantheress deliver original verses, both telling the titular Babycakes their romance is over. This differs from 3 Of A Kind's song where they tell their crush of their love for them. "I feel like 'Bbycakes' is a future-facing record," Mura Masa said of the track. "Clashing UK with US, hard drill music with cute UK garage culture, underground with overground."
  
  "Most of all it's a mission statement for the vicarious and playful nature that I think popular music needs to be looking to in order to soundtrack those crucial moments of fun and hedonism in an increasingly cynical culture."
• One of Mura Masa's earliest musical memories was watching 3 Of A Kind perform "Baby Cakes" on the BBC music show Top of the Pops. The song has been stuck in the producer's head ever since, and he has waited for the right opportunity to sample it.
• "Bbycakes" follows Mura Masa's 2021 hookup with Shygirl on a remix of Lady Gaga's "Sour Candy," and his production work on PinkPantheress' "Just For Me." It marks the first collaboration between Lil Uzi Vert and any of the other artists on the song.
