I Had A BabySinéad O’Connor

Released: February 20, 2012

Songwriter: Chris De Niro Marco Pirroni O’Neill Sinéad O’Connor

Producer: John Reynolds

I had a baby and he looks just like me
A bald headed baby, he's been the makings of me
His eyes are so mean, just like you
But you haven't seen him
And I don't know what to tell him
I don't know what to tell him!

I had a thing with a man and he wasn't mine to be with
I woke up one green day with him up inside me, hey
That did excited me, and I was crazy
I was always crazy!

But I had a baby, so I'm never sorry!
He's been the makings of me
And when he asks, I'll tell him
That you love him, but you can't be his
And when he says why
Why I said, don't know why
Because I don't know why!

You should suffer instead of me
Over shit that's because of me
I wish it wasn't so crazy
Broke my mind tell this time

But I had a baby, so beautifully
He's been the makings of me

I had a fling with a man who wasn't mine to be with
I woke up one green day with him up inside me, hey
That did excited me, and I was crazy
I was always crazy!

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
