Background and composition

Originally just titled "ILY", the song was renamed as "ILY (I Love You Baby)" to make it easier for people to find the song.[2] Mike Wass of Idolator described the song as a "chorus on a loop over a dreamy synth-scape that falls somewhere between Petit Biscuit and Kasbo" and praised it as "the perfect soundtrack to any blissed-out moment".[3] Hits Daily Double called the song "the heating-up club banger" version of the original.[4]
